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.

Because the culture we breathe and work in rushes against rest. It equates our worth with production and wealth and fame. The more we work toward those goals, the more society assigns us worth.

As I look back over my mountains of growth and compare them to the molehills where I stagnated, community often made the difference.

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.

Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.
