A weak man has doubts before a decision; a strong man has them afterwards.

I remembering hearing a friend say once that you are always doing what you most want to be doing, at any given point in time. You might not want to be at work right now or at the dentist or writing a paper or working out or making a business plan, but you want the benefits of those things: the paycheck, the clean cavity-free teeth, a good grade, a healthy body, a successful business. You always do the thing you most want to be doing. So make sure what you’re doing lines up with what your goals are. If your goal is to go to grad school or to go on more hikes or become a chef or start a photography business or run a marathon or learn to sew or call your family more or to cultivate better relationships with your friends – no matter the goal, make sure you are consistently taking steps towards that goal. It is easy to let discouragement or laziness or distractions (or Netflix, am I right?) take precedence over the baby steps that need to be taken towards the bigger picture. So don’t let that happen! Make a goal, make a list of baby steps, and get to work!! 💪🏼 (at Yosemite National Park)

To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.

Everyone needs at least one friend who understands what we do not say.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say to be nice. It says to be kind, to be gentle, to be respectful, to give careful instruction when someone is messing up. Nice is way below all those things, because nice gets used as an excuse to never stand your ground and never have the courage (a virtue the Bible does call us to exercise) to say something that needs to be said.

oh child of suffering, be patient. God has not passed you over in His providence. He who is the feeder of sparrows will also furnish you with what you need. take up the arms of faith against a sea of trouble. there is one who cares for you. His eye is fixed on you, His heart beats with pity for your woe, and His omnipotent hand will bring you the needed help. the darkest cloud will scatter itself in showers of mercy. the blackest gloom will give place to the morning. He, if you are one of His family, will bind up your wounds and heal your broken heart.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

God is at work in the mess. That’s the message of the Bible. That’s why the Bible is not pretty. That’s why it’s grimy, because God is working in the mess. He’s working in the tears.
