Worry is a weighty monster with poisoned tentacles. It clutches at us, grabs at our minds, steals our breath, our will. It lurks. It pounces. It colors how we perceive the world.

Dare to be brave today, and trust that when you extend your wings, you will fly.

The roadblocks to growth and joy come when we forget the bigness of God & instead make people bigger than He is.

Our task shouldn't be punishing the villains in our lives, but enlarging the God who heals us from all wounds.

We grow when the walls press in. We grow when life steals our control. We grow in the darkness.

Jesus often calls us to risk. He asks us to be vulnerable, to be authentic, so others can see Him in and through us.

I understand true life doesn't happen when I constantly gaze backwards, mulling over all the injustices others have done or I have done to others.
