Memoirs of a Kara

nice quotes for today

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7

“I came to Him because I did not know which way to turn. I remained with Him because there is no other way I wish to turn. I came to Him longing for something I did not have. I remain with Him because I have something I will not trade. I came to Him as a stranger. I remain with Him in the most intimate of friendships. I came to Him unsure about the future. I remain with Him certain about my destiny. I came amid the thunderous cries of a culture that has 330 million deities. I remain with Him knowing that truth cannot be all-inclusive.” 
― Ravi Zacharias

lowindustrial:

There’s always that interval between not knowing someone very well and wanting to know them better where I can hear everything I say to that person as though my voice were being played back for me on an answering machine.

the need

When they lifted their eyes up, they saw no one but Jesus. [Mat.17:8]

I need to keep my head up today. I need to keep my eyes fixed on Him.

Im in desperate need of my savior. 

school

i have been good at online school for the last two years. i do my work, i get the best grades that i can achieve. ive been trying to be a good steward of my education and so far ive been doing good. while its been easy. but now im taking a class that i don’t like, and its not easy for me to understand and i feel like it should be. its not that im having trouble with the class, its that im having trouble with myself. so my plan is to pray about it and set up some accountability with Shannon tuesday when we have our book club. 

so…take that LIFC 201! you’re going down under the weight of all my prayers and accountability (and by going down i mean my grade should go up) :)
