“The seasons don’t cease to change because we haven’t the time to plant or tend or harvest, because grief like a hailstorm comes up sudden and frightens us with its noise. Once the storm rolls on, the fields remain, and life goes on, whatever we prefer.”
― Olivia Hawker, One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow

“The solution to our modern epidemic is for Christians to take a stand and say enough. Enough of following what the world says is a good and perfect person, family, or life. Enough of what society says we need in order to be happy. Enough of what our culture says we must pursue for a job. Enough of the amount of money our friends and family say is vital. We must diligently dig for the root of what the Bible highlights as important for a family of men, women, and children of great faith.”

“If you don’t feel the light within you, then you simply need to turn around. Remember who you are. You are not your emotions, you are not your limiting beliefs, and you are not darkness. The true you is light and truth. The true you will shine when you face toward the Son.”
― Brooke Snow, Living in Your True Identity: Discover, Embrace, and Develop Your Own Divine Nature

“Culturally, we lean toward thinking about talents in an external sense. Those who don’t shine with the arts or a sport often concede to believing they have no talent at all. The following exercise is helpful in identifying talents that may be less obvious—because they aren’t naturally linked to external objects or activities. Talents such as enthusiasm, listening to others, making peace, making friends, hospitality, vision, teaching, organization, compassion, optimism, creative ideas, and problem-solving are a few examples.”
