Developments

There really aren't many, but one little tidbit I recently found out is that I will hopefully be driving out to Portland with Lindsay in June. This is very exciting for me--I haven't taken any road trips west (excluding childhood hunting excursions to the far western reaches of North Dakota) so it should be a blast.

On a completely unrelated note, I was flipping through my Bible this morning, looking at all of the scraps and bits of paper I've stuffed in there over the years (yes, I am one of those people, I never actually underline or write in my Bible for some reason) and came across a post-it note entitled "What I Believe." Hmm, I thought to myself, I've always wondered this. Lucky I wrote it down on a small post-it note, just in case I was ever wondering. It's nice to have such things so concise and handy.

I don't remember when I wrote it, or why I wrote it. There were three verse references on it, so I decided to look them up and share them. I don't think they make sense all together, but apparently, this is "what I believe."

Mark 5:36

But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe."

Mark 11:22-25

And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

Deuteronomy 4:29

But from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.

It's interesting to me to go through things I have written down over the years. I don't quite know what to make of it yet, but hey, it's what I believe.
