Letting Him Love Me
whatvictoriathinks:
God has me going through a pretty interesting season right now where I’m learning to actually address the problems in my own life. This is something that I usually neglect entirely because I’d much prefer to help someone else solve their problems than work on my own. I generally belittle anything wrong in my life because I KNOW that my life is going well enough, and I feel...

Acts 3:1-10 (NIV)
1 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter...

I knew from the start that writing this article...
I’m rereading the things I’ve written back then, seeing my trail of thoughts. I’m rereading old Facebook conversations I had with my brother, Michael, and seeing how patient and encouraging he was with me despite all the pain I was in. I’m looking at old photos, reminiscing of all the good times I had and the bad. Gathering all these things to write my article, I see how...

Re: Love Languages
prestonsam answered: Quality TIme
Spending time with people, especially the people special to you, is the best! Whether it’s going out to the movies, grabbing some grub, or going on a road trip—time with people you love is time well spent.
Although, now that I’m older, I find that quality time also applies with how I serve others. I miss the times I went with a group of...

The Love Languages: How Do You Speak Love?
I remember writing a post about Dr. Gary Chapman’s 5 Love Languages before, but during my Saturday Bible study, Gabriel spoke on the topic again to end February, the “love” month. Our discussion led me to revisit the 5 love languages:
Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service
Physical Touch
We have a primary and secondary love language. I think...

The Unexpected Call
I was just about to cook something for myself, but then I received an unexpected call from Mikey. He asked me what I was doing because he was in the area after worship practice for church, and was hungry. Then, he asked if I wanted to have lunch. Gee, lunch by myself or lunch with my brother/best friend? That’s a no-brainer. So Mikey picked me up and we had Hawaiian BBQ and talked for two...

What are you doing with your life?
whatvictoriathinks:
The important question asked by both mentors and peers alike right now seems to be, “What do you want to do with that?” Everyone wants to know where life is taking everyone else. Are they going to go to grad school? Is their GPA good enough to every even imagine getting a good job? Are they in a good school? Are they happy? Is there someone for them to come home to at the end...
