When it feels like we need to choose between being right and being humble- pick both
I used to think God guided us by opening and closing doors, but now I know sometimes God wants us to kick some doors down.
Being engaged is a way of doing life, a way of living and loving. It's about going to extremes and expressing the bright hope that life offers us, a hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. That's what I want my life to be all about - full of abandon, whimsy, and in love.

This is how it works _x000D_ You peer inside yourself _x000D_ You take the things you like _x000D_ And try to love the things you took _x000D_ And then you take that love you made _x000D_ And stick it into some _x000D_ Someone else's heart _x000D_ Pumping someone else's blood.
It's like my whole life never happened, When I see you, it's as if I never had a thought. I know this dream, it might be crazy, But it's the only one I've got.
