Donald Miller
“It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.”
― donald miller

“Acceptance can be so freeing. Before you know it, you’ll move toward forgiveness, which leads to wholeness.”
― Arelis Calkins, Rising Above Adversity: Healing and Nurturing your Inner Child
