“Thoughts entered my mind, telling me that this was not a fight I could win, and I pushed them away. What I had said before was the absolute truth. Every risk I ever took, every leap of faith, every step into the darkness was to prove to myself that I could overcome any challenge that came my way. No matter how small I often felt, I needed to know that I could face the hard thing ahead because I'd already done harder things before.”

“What if the plan fails?"
"What if it does? Failure isn't the end of a plan. Just keep pushing back until all that's left is to win."
For some reason, that made him chuckle.
"I've always envied you."
"Me?" Certain I had heard wrong, I turned to look at him. "I'm the embarrassment, remember?"
"That's because you try. You stand at the base of a mountain that cannot be climbed, or should not be, and you start to climb anyway. No, it doesn't work every time, that's why it can be seen as an embarrassment. But when it works, it's a victory." He lowered his eyes as if in shame. "I don't even try the climb, because I know that I might fall. That is a far greater embarrassment.”

“For who are we all, if not the product of who we love, what we know, and every wonderful word that we have read?”

“When I have doubts about my faith, or deep nagging questions that keep me up at night, I don’t have the luxury of finding “my truth” because I am committed to the truth. I want to know what is real. I want my worldview (the lens through which I see the world) to line up with reality. God either exists, or he doesn’t. The Bible is his Word, or it’s not. Jesus was raised from the dead, or he wasn’t. Christianity is true, or it isn’t. There is no “my truth” when it comes to God.”
