"God's perfect timing" is too often a cover-up or distraction from what we can't explain, or don't know how to process, or our own fear of the unknown. We're not good at waiting well → bit.ly/2EzkaLT

Stay soft, dear friend. Your only other option is to allow grief to further harden you. But you were not made for sharp edges. You were made to grow through grief, to expand through vulnerability, to open your heart so wide it might just fall out → bit.ly/2s4E5zn

Living by faith often feels like being fake, because there are no guarantees, only guts and determination and conviction and hope and wonder. And my friend, these things are not fake, they are as real as the sunlight → bit.ly/2q73zvq

We all have hopes about receiving love and grace and joy. We all want to believe that we'd receive feedback graciously and put it to work in our lives. You must learn to open your heart. You must learn to go beyond WANTING to receive to, PRACTICING it → bit.ly/2Nlykp7

Mistakes? Tragedies? Failures? Choices? None of these things makes you bad. They only present another vehicle for a different kind of good to be outworked in your life if you so choose it to be → bit.ly/2PBVqto

When you live from a place of being enough, your contribution and expression isn't a grab at significance, but in turn becomes like your enoughness: a gift that is given to whoever will receive it bit.ly/2NtFQx0

My dear soft friend, rejoice in your sensitivity, be thankful for your empathy, enjoy all the feelings, the ones that make your toes curl and your head hurt, because they all testify to your aliveness and connection. You are strong enough to be gentle → bit.ly/3601ZeR

Verbal, emotional, physical, sexual, power - abuse in all its versions is more than damaging. And the statistics tell me that for more than half of you reading this, abuse is part of your story. I am so sorry. You did not, and do not, deserve it → bit.ly/2qj8cSJ

When love has its way with you and your life and your story, it weaves goodness into the details. It rebirths goodness. It takes the things that we think have scared us for eternity and turns them into a sacred and holy beauty → bit.ly/2pnTauz

Grace isn't a cover up to hide away all the bits of you that you think are shameful, unseeable, embarrassing and broken. Grace empowers you to be all that you are all at once → bit.ly/2q73zvq

Be open to the Divine. Share your anxiety with the one who is love, and loves you not in spite of your worry, but because of how much you care. Answers are not things you read, but truths you live into. It takes practice. And there's all the grace in the world for it.

Stay hungry. Don't over consume, don't try and stuff your soul full of junk that will never truly satisfy. Don't buy the lie that wealth and popularity and control and achievement will fill you up. Bae, you do you. That's how you feed that hunger and keep it alive and healthy.
