It’s kind of funny how sucked in I am because of The Office, but the last few episodes are amazing, and I can’t help but swoon for Jim and Pam.

Ray LaMontagne, “Let it Be Me”

Am I avoiding at all costs doing the right thing in fear of it becoming the hardest thing as of yet? Is this worth it? Am I worth it?

Do you really want to grow?

When is the last time you listened to a friend admonish you, and then went and did something about it?
Are you intentional about meeting personal goals or do you simply drift day-to-day?
If you asked a close friend or family member what they’ve observed in you the past few months, for better or for worse, what would they say?

Perhaps we would be better off to focus our energies on working out the muscle of the mind, before our thighs, abs and arms. Body image certainly has physical implications, but it is a mental concept first. When we correct our injured understanding of our bodies, this healed perspective will overflow into our embodied lives.

Learning to live at peace with your body is a process, as it must be in a culture ever at war with the gods and monsters we create out of skin. But we can progress in this process—by being intentional about what we allow to shape our perception of beauty and body image, identifying our weak points, and putting healthy boundaries into place. And through all of this, we can find hope in the shape of a different body—in the Incarnation, which teaches us to identify with the brokenness of Jesus’ body, in the way that our own bodies feel broken, damaged, and defeated. And we can take heart in knowing as we identify with His death, we might also experience His resurrection, “so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body” (2 Cor. 4:11).

Starting a New Tradition: Georgia Students Hold School’s First-Ever Integrated Prom
- Liz Dwyer wrote in Education, Race and Georgia

A group of high school seniors at Wilcox County High School in rural south Georgia made history this past weekend by bucking their community’s longstanding tradition of racially segregated proms—yes, one prom for white teens and one for black teens. Indeed, thanks to the inspiring students behind the Integrated Prom movement, for the first time ever, black and white students in the community dressed up and danced the night away together.

How does a community get around having a prom that’s open to everyone without violating any civil rights laws? Easy. You just don’t let the school sponsor it. After the courts integrated the schools in the area, proms became private, invite-only events. White parents began raising funds for an all-white senior prom, leaving black families with no choice but to follow suit and host proms for their children.

Yes, this still goes on on 2013, and not just in this town, either. And yes, some white Wilcox students still attended the all-white only prom. But as you can see from the video above, what happens when students say they’ve had enough and take action is truly inspiring.

I cannot believe this still goes on today (and that parents would encourage such segregation), but I’m so happy the students took the matter into their own hands.

Galatians 5:22-24 reminds us the godly attitudes we acquire when our lives belong to the Lord, when we have faith in Christ and possess the Holy Spirit.

Love: agape is the love of of choice, referring to not an emotional affection, physical attraction, or a familial bond, but to respect, devotion, and affection that leads to willing, self-sacrificial service (John 15:13; Romans 5:8, 1 John 3:16-17).
Joy: a happiness based on unchanging divine promises and eternal spiritual realities. It is the sense of well-being experienced by one who knows all is well between himself and the Lord (1 Peter 1:8). Joy is not the result of favorable circumstances, and even occurs when those circumstances are the most painful and severe (John 16:20-22). Joy is a gift from God, and as such, believers are not to manufacture it but to delight in the blessing they already possess (Romans 14:17; Philippians 4:4).
Peace: the inner calm that results from confidence in one’s saving relationship with Christ. The verb form denotes binding together and is reflected in the expression “having it all together.” Like joy,p eace is not related to one’s circumstances (John 14:27; Romans 8:28; Philippians 4:6-7, 9).
Patience: the ability to endure injuries inflicted by others and the willingness to accept irritating or painful situations (Eph. 4:2; Col. 3:12; 1 Tim. 1:15-16).
Kindness: tender concern for others, reflected in a desire to treat others gently, just as the Lord treats all believers (Matt. 11:28-29; 19:13-14; 2 Tim. 2:24).
Goodness: moral and spiritual excellence manifested in active kindness (Rom. 5:7). Believers are commanded to exemplify goodness (Gal. 6:10; 2 Thess. 1:11).
Faithfulness: loyalty and trustworthiness (Lam. 3:22; Phil. 2:7-9; 1 Thess. 5:24; Rev. 2:10).
Gentleness: better translated “meekness.” It is a humble and gentle attitude that is patiently submissive in every offense, while having no desire for revenge or retribution. In the New Testament, it is used to describe three attitudes: submission to the will of God (Col. 3:12), teachability (James 1:21), and consideration of others (Eph. 4:2).
Self-control: this refers to restraining passions and appetites (1 Cor. 9:25; 2 Pet. 1:5-6)

When a Christian walks by the Spirit and manifest his fruit, he needs no external law to produce the attitudes and behavior that please God.

The hardest thing is loneliness.
I am my own greatest enemy when I am left to my loneliness.

But Jesus means everything to me.

Hard times come every day.
Most of the time I try to knock them down because the Gospel has changed my life in a great way that I will never ultimately know.

“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”

- Romans 5:3-5
