My name is Taliyah Rose and I grew up in Czech Republic. I am an Art student at SAU.

Don't ask me where I'm from. I don't know. My home is my memrories, and those are of the past. I am a third culture kid. A global nomad. For life. What I do know, is that I am exactly where God has me. This is where life is. Painful, unfathomable, and mysteriously beautiful life. It is art. And that changes everything.

 

The core problem isn’t the fact that we’re lukewarm, halfhearted, or stagnant Christians. The crux of it all is why we are this way, and it is because we have an inaccurate view of God. We see Him as a benevolent Being who is satisfied when people manage to fit Him into their lives in some small way. We forget that God never had an identity crisis. He knows that He’s great and deserves to be the center of our lives.

In 1944, LIFE’s Alfred Eisenstaedt captured a private moment repeated in public millions of times over the course of the war: a guy, a girl, a goodbye — and no assurance that he’ll make it back. By war’s end, more than 400,000 American troops had been killed.

I think part of the reason why we hold on to something so tight is because we fear something so great won’t happen twice.
