O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Most men are not satisfied with the permanent output of their lives. Nothing can wholly satisfy the life of Christ within his followers except the adoption of Christ’s purpose toward the world he came to redeem. Fame, pleasure and riches are but husks and ashes in contrast with the boundless and abiding joy of working with God for the fulfillment of his eternal plan. The men who are putting everything into Christ’s undertaking are getting out of life its sweet and most priceless rewards.
— J. Campbell White // Secretary of the Laymen’s Missionary Movement [excerpt from Desiring God by John Piper]
I hate to break it to you, babe
But I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save
My Sunday afternoon tunes
237 listens

What fools are they who, for a drop of pleasure, drink a sea of wrath.
— Thomas Watson (Puritan)
night time thoughts::
I’m running my second half marathon [within six month time-frame] in less than a month.
And I’m kind of nervously scared.
I’ve got more mental and physical prepping to do.
But I’m gonna do it, my God I am gonna do it.
