This kind of faith. This kind of love.

This quote rocked me. It was written by a Romanian prison guard who found fulfillment and frustration in torturing Christians...

"If we cut off their tongues and forbid the Christians speech, they love with their hands, with their feet and with their eyes. They love always and everywhere until their last respiration. Does anybody know how to take out the power of love from these stupid Christians?"

...O Lord, make in me this kind of faith, this kind of love.

  1. there is no way to take the power and love from us, because ultimately, God is in control. and although He is allowing Satan to control the world, it is really all part of His master plan. (very sneaky, i might add!)
    that quote is very inspiring, my dear. :)
    love you and cant wait to see you soon!

  4. Hi Brittany,
    I am a reporter from Maryland who is getting ready to interview the fiilmmakers from the Invisible Children for a story I am writing for BaptistLIFE. I came across your blog and would love to include a few of your quotes in my story. (You are very insightful about prayer, which is an important angle that I am trying to represent.)

    May I have permission to use your words? I am so proud of your heart for the Lord!

    Blessings, Shannon

  7. I have never met you. You left Disney a month before I started there. From reading your blog - I see that what u r doing is simply amazing. It saddens me that someone like you - with a good and pure heart was denied the Miss USA crown. I was rooting for you then - and I can only imagine the things you could have accomplished for our nation if you had been crowned. You are a very impressive young woman and I think it is very commendable for what u r doing. I wish you well in all your endeavors. God bless.
