What if I said you’re my person—the best damn thing that’s ever happened to me, the one I want to call mine and wake up next to for the rest of my life?

Remember the ones who didn’t leave you behind, who followed you even when you were headed the wrong way, who fought through battles with you. Remember the ones who stayed and never left.

Make your life not solely about who you’re loving, but how you’re loving your world.

Being a Christian is not about making your life spotless, but rejoicing in the beautiful mess you were created to be. And doing your best to honor God in all your imperfection because you are His.

Accept the fact that sometimes you won’t understand why you’re feeling a certain way, and that’s okay.

Meaningful – Is asking someone how they’re doing, and then waiting patiently for their actual response. Is putting down your phone when you’re having a conversation. Is taking a few minutes to just breathe before starting your day. Is complimenting someone without expecting anything in return.

If someone cares about you, giving you affection and attention won’t be a chore.

You think I’ve abandoned you—but you are my creation—I will never leave you.

The truth is, when it’s right, you will know. You will have this sense of everything around you—peace, understanding, joy, rest. You won’t be afraid.

Someone who disregards her as ‘too emotional.’

Your Leo’s apology language centers on words of affirmation.

You are His child. And no amount of doubt or mess will change that.
