Quotes

My communication assignment was a little misleading.
It was more of a reading exercise, find the point of the article, rather then make a pretty layout with it. I guess I knew that was the point all along, but it's easier to get suckered into using a lot of graphic tricks and slick typography instead of actually presenting the readers message as clearly and succintly as possible. Yea, design still needs to be good. But the designer's job is to draw people in close enough that they begin to read what is written, then it's the authors job.

Sort of like being disciplined in reading the Bible, you can't make God change you to be more like Him, but what you can do is discipline yourself so that you are in the best place so that God can change you.

"Love God and enjoy Him forever"
-John Calvin (probably paraphrased)

Prayer from Jeff Deyo
We've got to get to the point in our lives where we actually believe God and His desires for us are truly the things that are going to make us the happiest, give us the most peace, and satisfy our souls.
We talk about this, and we know in our minds that it's true. But somehow these beliefs don't make their way into our everyday lives. If they did wouldn't we be different? Wouldn't we act different? Wouldn't we talk different?
I don't think that we don't want to be happy or that we sabotage our own lives. Maybe we just don't really trust God.
We've got to decide that no matter the cost, we've got to be satisfied in God. In Him alone.
I mean, aren't you tired of having to read your Bible because you feel you have to? I want to want to love Jesus. I want to long to spend time with Him. I want to get up in the morning and can't wait to be with him.
Anything that is more exciting or more valuable to me then God – is an idol.
I don't want to be like that.
I want to be like John Piper said in the pleasures of God "God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him"

I want God to be glorified in me, so I want to see what I can do to be most satisfied in Him.
