“something i can trust… if i'm being honest… my relationship with trust is a distant one, and my trust in the universe is a timid thing because life has felt bigger, and this path has felt harder at times than i've been able to take. and i'm still trying to believe that i am growing wings that were measured just for me, that are right-sized just. for. this. strong enough to lift me through it and beautiful enough to make it all worth it. but this distance with trust has made me feel anything but sure… and i guess trust is a muscle memory i just don't yet have. but i want to. so when the light seems quiet, and the guidance feels hushed, i'm going to lean in. because maybe it's gone quiet to get me to lean in… just so i can learn that when the voice inside has something to say… that it's something i can trust.”

“the sweet and wild rebellion in you… the poetry in those eyes… those dreamer's eyes learning to see in the dark. and all that beautiful madness tangled in your hair. toes dangling over the edge, testing a new universe. it's ok to take small steps and deep breaths, love… but also, let yourself start to take up your space. and don't you dare say you're sorry when you do. and you'll be rejected for these wings, these fires, for this sweet and wild rebellion in you. but these are such. beautiful. things. so keep choosing you… because nothing will matter if you reject you. if it needs you small, don't let it hold you anymore. don't let anything that needs you ordinary tame you ever again.”

“The way we do apologetics looks different when we are motivated not by our desire to conquer the other person, but by our genuine love and compassion, and by our desire to see people discover God's lifegiving truth.”
