Kindle Notes & Highlights
There is more to you than yesterday.
in the end, the deeply rooted will be too strong to break.
Take deep breaths often. You are going to be okay. The desert valley has a river for wellness in the wait: water living, moving, keeping the hearts that hunt for better days.
We don’t have to know everything to know that taking
brave and faithful steps will lead us where we belong.
More than she was known for her accomplishments, she was known for the way she loved.
Take heart. The value of your life is not measured in calendar years.
Even if the wait carries on another year, I will not get where I am going without first learning to be here.
I hope tomorrow is the day you can wake up and say, "I do not have a lot, but I do know time and time again, the sun has continued to shine on me."
Confidence flourishes in abandoning the idea we need to look like we have it all together.
Traveling the world is not limited to open roads and airport codes. There's a world inside the bounds of books far too often overlooked. Your library card is a passport too.
The light you see in her comes from this place within her where she believes by faith that after everything, she is still somehow going to be okay.
You may have been waiting in this valley for the same things for years, but keep your eyes open. Something new is happening here.
One day you will wake up and all of the waiting will have made sense. You will realize all of the prayers that seemed to be tangled in worries were actually wrapped tightly in God's grace. You will realize that even though before you were certain it was over, you were actually…okay, and everything that was supposed to happen, happened, and you are right where you need to be.
You are the reason I am still breathing, though I am feeling torn apart. You are the Hallelujah beating through my broken, weary heart.
You will go through seasons of sun and wind and rain. You will tread the desert, and in and out of pain. You will go through years wondering if you’re good enough. But you will never go too far that you are outside of My Love.
