i am typically referred to as tim wright.
i am redeemed.
i am still being redeemed, and restored to the way i was meant to be.
i want to be addicted, drenched, obsessed with my Savior, Jesus Christ.
i desire to follow His teachings.
i thoroughly enjoy showers, naps, graphic design, art, filming and editing video, and most if not all things apple.
i believe that “the shadow proves the sunshine” and that “love is the movement.”
i want “more then fine,”
i am sick of being satisfied with mediocrity.
i want to live life entirely about God.
i want to live as doulos to Christ.
i love truth, and claim it wherever it is found.
without absolute truth life would not be worth it.
i believe God is sovereign and in control.
i know i don’t get it all, but i know God is God and i am not.
why unsound transient
unsound.
transient.
i am both.
you are both.
unsound: not sound, not well founded, unstable, easily broken, diseased, disordered.
none of us are stable.
we are all unsound.
just like a bridge or building is described as sound or unsound, we as humanity are unsound.
humanity is very much diseased and disordered.
i think we would all agree with that.
we are so imperfect, it almost isn’t even worth comparing to perfection.
transient: not lasting, not permanent, existing briefly, temporary
none of us last.
we are all going to die, as harsh as that may sound it is reality.
our time on this earth is not forever.
we are:
“flowers quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind”(who am i, casting crowns)
psalm 102:11- 12 talks of how we are like shadows that decline and grass that withers, but that God is forever.
we are very much unsound and transient.
but the beauty of it all, is that it doesn’t end with that.
it doesn’t end with life equalling no hope, because we mess up, and don’t last.
the beauty is in the fact that God has given hope. redemption. forgiveness.
He has offered to fix the problem.
to fix us.
to fix humanity.
but do we let Him?
you say yeah, i’m saved, God has redeemed me.
yeah, well that is just the beggining.
we don’t do anything to be redeemed.
we can’t redeem ourselves.
it’s impossible.
but God is still redeeming you and me today.
God wants to keep fixing us.
it’s a journey.
a lifelong process.
one full of screwing up, and hopefully having those screw ups fixed. redeemed.
unsound. transient.
these two words help keep me humble.
keep me in awe.
keep me thankful.
remind me of who i really am.
live.
love.
live love.
live love with reckless abandon.
hold nothing back.
