Not even a hint....

This ones gonna be short only because I like sleep.

Not Even a Hint by Joshua Harris
is such a good book.

So convicting; so encouraging.
So helpful. Sometimes its good to take a hard look at yourself through the eyes of Christ to see all the things we let creep into us. Like...

Needing to feel beautiful in order to be accepted in this world
Needing to be a certain waist size for the sole fact that media dipicts it as normal, when its actually... Anorexic.
Making a plan of action in order to avoid situation where temptation to lust occurs.

Who ever knew the practical would be so helpful to daily living?

Also, the good reminder of the way God intended me to be, and the way the world distorts it.
Its late, so sorry if this isn't making much sense. if you've read the book, i suppose you might know what I mean.

<3 night!

True! God has been speaking to me a lot about "Normal." So many times we except things as normal when the truth is its just what we are use to. For example,for a long time my brother has gotten really bad migraine head-aches, some people have just excepted them as normal and think that there's nothing we can do.
But that is not the truth. The Word says that it is God's will for all to be healed. The Word is my standard for normal. That means it is normal and should be expected for my brother to be healed. If something doesn't line up with God's will then it shouldn't be excepted.
