// i really wish the church would stop trying to be the holy spirit for everyone else. speak the good news and love people the way Jesus does. stop trying to "convict" people - that's the holy spirit's job.

stop trying to push your personal convictions on others. when you do so, you cause division in the body. you are convicted about certain things that others aren't convicted of due to your own personal calling. Agree on the specific things that Jesus says to agree on. all other convictions are personal convictions. we all have different purposes (read Ephesians). what good would a hand be if it demanded to see like an eye sees? stop creating new denominations out of a personal conviction! THAT DIVIDES US! A house divided will fall. We all have different callings and yet the Lord tells us to be unified. just like a marriage, a woman is wired differently than her husband and yet God placed them together... work it out! “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (- Jesus) Ephesians 17:20-23. Jesus, The holy Spirit & God are three separate but also one.

don't stir up strife in the body simply because you think your personal conviction is the ultimate say.

|| we remember ||

// one of my cousins worked in tower two. on september 11th, 2001 the lights flickered in her building as the first plane crashed into tower one. her boss got a phone call saying everything was fine and that they were to stay in their building as they were securing tower one. my cousin followed her instincts and said "no way". she made it out of tower two and saw broken airplane parts all over the ground. as she looked up at her building, the second plane came crashing in over her head. she turned around, started walking and never looked back. she saw the towers fall from the last ferry out of new york that day.

// this is vinny. he's a retired captain for FDNY & my mothers friend since high school. this is a picture of vinny after the towers fell on 9/11.

// click the links below to see photos of my visit to the 9/11 memorial.

|| sarah's concorda cottage ||

// my good friend and fellow blogger, sarah of saraheliiza recently moved in with a friend. i was finally able to make it over to see the house this weekend and let me tell you, i was impressed. between the decor and the scent of the volcano candles she had lit throughout, you would've sworn you were walking into anthropology. these are a few shots from her home and a few fun photos we took. 

the last photo of us would be our album cover if sarah and i ever started a band.

happy monday!

// this weeks pick of the week is the movie the way way back

// this film is incredible! seriously, go see it! you won't regret it. it's got a sold script, a great message and a great cast. if that's not enough for ya, go see it just to watch steve carell play the biggest jerk on the planet! i am so thankful for films that actually have a story line and purpose. down with all the 'we're only in this to make money, pointless box office hits' and up with great films with great stories!

// click here to watch the trailer

// have a great weekend!

|| a secret & a rant ||

// i have a tiny crush on the guy across the hall at work. from here on out, he shall be known as He Who Shall Not Be Named. he waves at me every time he passes by and on occasion, he pops his head in our office for a little chat. hmm??? my friend & co worker, kimberly volunteered herself to do some unsolicited reconnaissance on him. feel free to picture her clasping her hands together in the form of a gun whist dropping and rolling across the floor from one door to another, james bond style.

bum bum bum do do do bum bum bum

... i think she is determined to find me a husband by the end of the year. i do apologize, He Who Shall Not Be Named.

// i HATE when guys flirt with me. let me specify, i hate when unknown guys flirt with me. this is not some backwards, girl-code way of saying i love it. i promise you, i literally hate it! flirting is taking the easy way out! flirting makes me uncomfortable and indicates to me that you have no interest in what i say and you don't have the capability of saying anything interesting yourself. if you're interested, have a conversation with me! only flirt if you know the person you are flirting with likes you back! that's the only time it's fine, all other times are uncomfortable! with that said, thank you He Who Shall Not Be Named for always having a conversation with me when you poke your head into my office. you ask me real questions and then follow up questions as if you are legitimately interested in what my answers are, you make me smile!

oh hey! it's been a while. thanks for being so patient!

// reflecting on the past few weeks & i've realized i am way too independent! i like being by myself. i like going to movies by myself! i like going to dinner by myself! "party of one, please!" i love my independence! now, it doesn't hurt if i have a handsome gentleman with me every now and again or even a few of my girlfriends but i actually prefer to go it alone. single girl, story of my life. 

xoxo, kerrin

// fifty seven days and i leave for nyc with my best.
