“This is not the end of what you are doing; in fact, its the very beginning.”

We’re not far from home.

To bloom is to grow. To grow is to know the one who created x Died for my soul.

Maybe I’ll do something that the world will see, but I think its enough to know my father see’s me.

We spend so much time avoiding death that we forget to take time to truly live.

The dawn is our reminder; fresh start come with the rising sun, and all life was made new when the sun rose, too.

Tears – they water the soil of your soul, they sink in deep and help your spirit to grow.

Hope remains. The light will stay. You are held and seen and covered in grace.

Sometimes you cant find the words to say. And you know what? that’s okay. Your presence still matters.

Let’s go on an adventure, oh, the place we will go! and with you by my side, I am always at home.

I have never gone too far to be unloved by you.

The way we obey teaches us much about who we really trust.

I lift my hands in praise and all else begins to fade, for you are all that matters; lord take all of me.

I want to leave a legacy.

And just like a flower each of us will bloom in our own time.

Just because there are clouds in the sky, that doesn’t mean that the stars don’t shine.

Just because there are clouds in the sky, that doesn’t mean that the stars don’t shine.

I began to understand that his version of hope reached far beyond mine: It was one thing to get yourself out of a stuck place, I realized. It was another thing entirely to try and get the place itself unstuck.

Men, though they must die, are not born in order to die but in order to begin.

Anything played wrong twice in a row is the beginning of an arrangement.

The beginning is always today.

As we work along our various ways, there takes shape within us, in some sort, an ideal – something we are to become – some work to be done. This, I think, is denied to very few, and we begin really to live only when the thrill of this ideality moves us in what we will to accomplish.

Alas, it is when we are beginning to leave this mortal body that it most offends us!

Because the development of inner calm & energy happens completely within & isn’t dependent on another person or a particular situation, we begin to feel a resourcefulness and independence that is quite beautiful—and a huge relief.

Life begins on the other side of despair.
