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.

God pursues us into whatever dark place we've landed and behind whatever locked door holds us in. He holds our unwashed and dirty hands and models how He wants us to pursue each other And He says to ordinary people like me and you that instead of closing our eyes and bowing our heads, sometimes God wants us to keep our eyes open for people in need, do something about it, and bow our whole lives to Him instead.

All my actions have their rise in my inalienable love of mankind.
I wish every woman would love herself and embrace what she was given naturally.
Love and fear represent two different lenses through which to view the world. Which I choose to use will determine what I think I see.
