I hope you laugh. Laugh until your belly hurts. Laugh until your heart feels free. Laugh until the pain of your today fades into the rearview mirror. Laugh until you forget.

You have a big heart, a beautiful heart, a bleeding heart. One that keeps opening and widening and re-stitching itself after brokenness

Bring a positive face to work every single day.

Your life goals. Ultimately, when you love someone, you both should support one another’s goals, not pull the other person away from them.

Spend the afternoon at the library, drinking coffee, journaling, and getting lost in a good book. 

This is for the girl with the sensitive soul. The one who is regarded as soft, but in her vulnerability is actually so strong.

You’re terrified of starting over.

Maybe this little beating heart, four paws, tiny ears understands more than I give him credit for.

Dear God, I’m not sure what to say. But I know I want to talk to you.

I hope in this new year, you let Christ save you. You let His words heal your heart, cleanse your soul, and lift you from pain.

Maybe she’s scared to love you because love feels like letting go.

It doesn’t matter where you are on your spiritual journey. Whether you’re just beginning to wonder who God is and what this ‘faith thing’ is all about, or whether you’re a seasoned believer, you’re invited to church with open arms.
