"Repentence is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness; it is what we do because we have been forgiven. It serves as an expression of gratitude rather than an effort to earn forgiveness."

Faith Journey
My roommate from last fall just sent me this quote. As I ponder "what's next" (and I know I'm not alone in this inquiry), I thought it seemed particularly applicable:
"Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the one who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason - a life of knowing Him who call us to go. Faith is rooted in the knowledge of a person and one of the biggest traps we fall into is the belief that if we have faith, God will surely lead us to success in the world."
- Oswald Chambers
