With All Your Heart

"I never liked Jazz music because Jazz music doesn’t resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theatre in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxaphone. I stood there for fifteen minutes (watching him), and he never opened his eyes.

After that I liked Jazz music.

Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It as if they are showing you the way.

I used to not like God because God didn’t resolve. But that was before any of this happened…" ~ Donald Miller


Sometimes, what I need more than anything is for other people to love God with all their hearts. When I feel like throwing in the towel or just settling with a pretense of okay, when I am angry and not listening, and when I desperately need God, sometimes I see Him in others. Through them, he changes me and gives me strength.

All the Time

I made a budget last night because mint.com is a mesmerizing thing.
Then I freaked out about how little I was making and summer jobs.
Today I ended up getting called into work at 9 and scheduled to work all five days this week. That never happens. Thank You, God.
