Valiant. Vulnerable. Scandalous.

Just some quotes, thoughts, whatever... things floating through my mind that I feel compelled to spread.

"To put it bluntly, your flesh is a weasel, a poser, and a selfish pig. And your flesh in not you. Did you know that? Your flesh is not the real you." - John Eldridge

"Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision. Strong wind, earthquake-shoke, and fire may pass by: but I shall follow the guiding of that still small voice which interprets the dictates of conscience." quote from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

I want to be a woman of God. I want to be what he created me to be. Proverbs 31. Valiant. Vulnerable. Yet Scandalous. I want adventure and purpose.

I forget how good the devil is at his job. Pulling at my flesh, distracting me. I long for the day when I'll be free of it.
