Dordt '20 // bind my wandering heart to thee.

[Katie Crosby, LMSW 🥳 @crosby_katie]

We over-romanticize calling, as if it’s something we should naturally desire.

Moses gave excuses.

Gideon doubted and asked for a sign.

Jonah fled.

Jesus asked for his cup to pass.

Calling often looks more like an unwanted cross to carry than a choice to consider.

@DordtPresident I’m glad to hear blue pens have happy users out there-even though I’m not one of them 😄

[Anna Christians @anna_christians]

does anyone else get extremely disappointed when you get a new free pen and then realize it’s blue ink..?

Walter Bruggemann's work, words, and writing has been influential in my life over the past few years. Bruggemann put into words things that I needed to hear and be reminded of desperately today--and perhaps you do too. Thank you Dr. Bailey for sharing this interview.

Straight fire in this interview with OT scholar Walter Bruggemann: “We cannot secure ourselves. We can only be secured by someone who is faithful to us.” "The Ache" pt. 1 of 6. https://t.co/LKI5RLAb2H

i mean graduating from college barefoot while wearing sweatpants in a comfy chair and drinking a latte wasn’t all bad.

“Be patient with everyone but above all with yourself; I mean, don’t be disturbed about your imperfections… There’s no better way of growing… in the spiritual life then to be always starting over again.”

It's tradition for the Dordt University concert choir to sing the alma mater at the end of our commencement ceremony. In honor of that tradition, we hope you enjoy this beautiful rendition of the tune. 💛 Congratulations, graduates! https://t.co/H8eKGrCh2g

finding rest in Psalm 62 today:
“He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.”

i had ice cream twice today, but the second time there were apples on top so i really only ate ice cream once today, right?

“...what made Easter morning matter was never the packed sanctuaries, never the hymns or celebrations, rituals or rites. Just as the quietness of that first Easter did not determine if the stone rolled away or not, the locked doors of our local churches don’t determine it either”

yesterday: ran 6 miles, showered, supported local coffee shop, crushed my homework, went on a walk.

today: rolled out of bed, did only the front half of my hair, decided not to workout, ate pasta & ice cream for lunch, took a nap.

some days you have it and some days you don’t
