This is something I wrote in my journal 7 September 2011:

If we come to the end of ourselves to live for Christ, we have to jump. There is no bridge from the end of our materialism and coarse language and selfishness to the life Christ offers us, desires us to have to give Him glory. Soli Deo gloria... written forever on my shoulder, but do I really mean that in my life? I can imagine myself as a rich woman, realizing I must see myself a beggar before I can jump off this great cliff. In this depiction, others are removing their materialistic items and jumping... but where to? Just a simple life that relies on Christ every step of the way, as George Mueller put it as the reason he began his orphanage ministry.
