noted: one shallow, one deep

i'm trying not to compartmentalize my life, so i can put these two very unrelated quotes in one post right?

about hair:
"spring has ushered in a full-bodied, low-effort look."-real simple in march

if anything described my hair routine, it would be "low-effort." not that i would change anything if it said spring was about high-effort, but maybe it will be fun to actually be in style for a season!



much, much more profound from our ladies Bible study:
"the death and resurrection of Christ mean more than the definitive break with sin and its power. The death and resurrection of Christ are the abiding sources of sanctifying grace and therefore ethical renewal. Christ rose from the dead through the glory of the Father and by the exceeding greatness of his power. And it is that same power exemplified in the resurrection of our Lord from the dead that is operative in believers." -John Murray

isn't that wonderful??!! "abiding" "sanctifying grace" "operative"...i love it. this Gospel living is so much more about the grace and power of Christ than about my own feeble efforts.

I thought about that quote during communion tonight (while listening to your beautiful voice!) what an amazing gift God has given us in his Spirit! Thanks for the encouragement friend!
