“It is not possible to be ‘incidentally a Christian’. The fact of Christianity must be overwhelmingly first or nothing. This suggests a reason for the dislike of Christians by nominal or non Christians: their lives contain no overwhelming firsts but many balances.”

“At the end of your life, go out with a bruised-up, worn out heart that gave too much and loved too strongly and felt too fiercely.”

“Stars
Out of all the stars,
you were the one he looked to at night.
Not knowing that to him you shone brighter than the rest.
Even if there was an over abundance of bigger or brighter stars,
you were always the one
his eyes fell to.
The light he knew would guide him.
The one he searched for even on the most overcast nights.
I bet if you didn't spend time comparing your qualities to the others,
you would have noticed his eyes always locked on you.
But remeber he is the one who
knew you shone,
even before you did yourself.”

“I know, in my soul, that a love for travel is a gift and not a hindrance. It feels like a burden when the bucket list is bigger than the bank account, but a thirst for more of the world is not something to apologize for. Denying its presence feels like denying something good in me, something God put there. Wanderlust has a reputation as the epitome of unrequited love, something the young and naive chase after because they don’t yet realize it’s as futile as a dog chasing its tail. Turns out, ever-burning wanderlust is a good thing.”
