And so they’re kind of just hanging out because I’m going back to school on Sunday so I don’t want to set everything up just to figure out how to drive in a car with a big tank for 7 hours, so they’re in a pitcher and the tank in still in the box. ANYWAY. ONE OF MY FISH JUST HAD BABIES. THERE’S LIKE 30 OF THEM. AND THEY JUST KEEP COMING. I DON’T KNOW...

Autocorrect is ruining my life.
letmefeelyoushine:
So far, it’s changed….
“Bring all the sleds you can!” to “Bring all the slaves you can!”
“I’m baking stuff tomorrow.” to “I’m baking stiffs tomorrow.”
“Hey, can you send me a worksheet?” or “Hey can you send me a work tsunami?”
“You’re no fun! :(” to “You’re no fun! :*. “
“I’ll look tomorrow.” to “I’ll look tomato.”

happy valentine's day
shewhoshighlyfavored:
lovewithoutdissimulation:
Got all preachy this morning during girl’s Bible study. It was great. I was just talking, and it wasn’t me. I mentioned that Psalm 45:10-11 says that the Father loves us, wildly. Then I started talking about the book of Hosea.
I read it through last night, and a verse stuck out to me. “…and went after her lovers, but forgot Me…” (I don’t remember the reference). I...
For Those Who HATE Valentine's Day:
leeyounger:
I hear you. I mean, it can be a cruel thing to live through a day where everyone is celebrating romance with candies, hearts and smooches with their sweetie. I know that for some of you out there, it makes you wanna puke. You look around at the whole thing and wonder, what am I supposed to feel, huh? I don’t have anyone making me a card and buying me flowers… Look, I know it hurts to...

ohtodayisawindingroad:
I can be a flailing contradictory mess, making the same mistakes over and again, not making sense, pulling myself up by my own pride and success, reveling in my sin…
and yet He chooses to love me— selflessly, wholly, compassionately, understandingly, with notice to my every need and whim. He conforms my will to His, not through force, but through love.
And sometimes that...

A FATHER'S LOVE LETTER:
My child,
You may not know me, but I know everything about you (Ps. 139:1).
I know when you sit down and when you rise up (Ps. 139:2).
I am familiar with all your ways (Ps. 139:3).
Even the very hairs on your head are numbered (Matt. 10:29-31).
For you were made in my image (Gen. 1:27).
In me you live and move and have your being (Acts 17:28).
For you are my offspring (Acts 17:28).
I knew you...

You are beautiful because you cry… Crying builds compassion and that is beautiful.
You are beautiful because you fail… Failing builds character and that is beautiful.
You are beautiful because you struggle… Struggle builds perseverance and that is beautiful
You are beautiful because you suffer…

Improving our memory with praise
thepaulzone:
We are a people of such short memories. It must frustrate our generous Father. Today we could have a huge problem, perhaps we don’t have money for food, so we cry out to God. We are downcast, frightened, feeling alone and our cry to God is deep and meaningful. That day there is a miracle, God provides and we are amazed by his love. We praise him, tell people all about it and are...

Long car rides, caffeine, etc. Here they are:
You’re as bright as Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors. ;)
Your church or mine? ;)
You put the “cute” back in “persecution.” ;)
I’m as lucky as Daniel in the lion’s den to have met you. ;)
I’ll never be your Delilah. ;)
My love for you would outlast the 7 years of famine. ;)
I’ll love you like God loves Israel. ;)
I’d chase after...
Remember what Jesus did for you
thepaulzone:
Imagine where you would be right now without Jesus. Sometimes we forget what we were before he saved us. Sometimes we forget what transformation we have been going through. Sometimes we forget how we used to think and act. Sometimes we forget just how wretched we were before encountering the Son of God who called us to himself, to be transformed from what we were, to become what...
