New Wall Decoration




I took this idea from Tim Keller, who would say inaudibly to his congregration before he preached, "You are not my peace." He recognized that he had really longed to be liked by his people, but needed to find his peace in his acceptance by Christ and not by the approval of his congregation.

I've found that I've subtly been placing my peace and hope in internship prospects. Somehow I feel that if I get internship X, all in the world will be OK, that I will have peace.

I know this is untrue.

And so as I apply to each internship, as I walk into each interview, I will say, "You are not my peace - Christ is."
