La Mia Preghiera
Vengo di nuovo per la tua grazia. Cambi la mia mente. Mi mostri la tossicità del mio peccato, così odio il mio peccato. Come Lei odii il mio peccato, voglio odiare il mio peccato.

Io sono come Jacob
Lotto con e contro Dio. Lotto con Dio contro me stesso - lo stesso che lotta contro Dio. Anche come Jacob, voglio Dio mi benedice. Lotto al fino di mostrare Dio questo: voglio le cose Lui dare.

Lent Reflections, Part 1 (Hopefully of Many)
Ho mangiato. È detto che il pieno non hanno il desiderio a cucinare per l'affamato. Ma questa non dovrà essere, perché Cristo, non me stesso, ha cucinato per me. Lui mi ha dato lui stesso, e io come lui divento.
I had originally decided to give up a number of things for Lent (including gtalk, aim, facebook, blogging, etc.), but depriving myself of those things did not cause me to become any more prepared for His Passion. In fact, I gained greater perspective and much-needed correction whilst engaging with others. After all, Lent can only be as personalized as our own walks with Christ, which aren't solitary at all. There has been one consistent theme I have seen throughout this past half-year, and it is the importance of the each member's relation to the rest of the body. Just as a lone verse that is plucked out of the Bible, each of our walks loses proper perspective and meaning when cut off from the rest of the body. One verse out of context is meaningless without the rest, as are each of our relationships with Christ without taking hold of his redemption of all our relationships with one another. What makes this analogy work? Jesus is the Word incarnate, and we are the body of Christ. We are to embody the Word, but can only do so together.

If we do not love one another, then Christ's life, death, and resurrection have accomplished nothing in us.

Aight, ima lay it out for you
I often forget to charge my phone. I don't even know where it is right now. But nobody ever calls me, so I actually don't even need to charge it or know where it is.
My best friend, on most days, is the fucking sandwich in my hand. It doesn't fail to tell me what's up, whether it be turkey or ham with a spread of goat cheese on whole wheat. I show my appreciation by taking a huge bite out of it. This is love.
A volte, scrivo in italiano. È un'altra metafora per la nostra distanza. Sento come, anche in inglese, non sono capito.

Satano sussurra nel mio orecchio,
Solo uno, solo uno... uno non sarebbe così male.
It's rough on my soul to be here in Naperville. But it's not like anywhere else is really better. I felt the same thing down at Urbana a year ago. I feel, in this regard, like John the Baptist. Like John, I must lay down my most basic wants, for they are insignificant in the face of eternity. One companion, one best friend. I can't have it if I idolize it. Just how real is God to me, if He isn't my everything? One day, my heart will finally be in the right place and God will provide, then.
Solo credo l'amore è così molto più che un sentimento. L'amore è avente la volontà a sacrificare il mio tutto. Sacrificando un "tutto" io non possiedo non è possibile. Dio deve divento il mio tutto.

La Luce dell'Amore
Non capisco come ancoro respirare, esattamente come non capisco la grazia di Dio. Non conosco come dire questo ma che la solitudine corrode un buco in me. Questa solitudine da forme al amore non possiedo. Se la solitudine è un buco in me, l'amore è la macchia luminosa nella mia ombra. La luce di Cristo traspare il buco in me, e definisce un amore capisco. Questa è la mia vita, l'atto di equilibrando la speranza e la disperazione.
