Quote by Vicky Zimmerman

“Cecily pointed out that writing about the different flavors of unhappiness was all well and good, but the plan was to get Kate back to happy--- and to focus more on that. She'd loved doing it, though, and by the time she'd written down "Lunch for When You're Thoroughly Bored with Yourself"--- slow-roast chicken with lemon and harissa, with a butter-drenched baked potato, followed by warm chocolate-cookie pudding with cream--- any urge to contact Nick had passed, and she was back to thinking he was an idiot--- and that she was not only the icing but the whole entire cake.”

“I feel this heavy in my spirit: A Prayer for Our Pressured Youth Let’s pray! Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, We lift up this generation—our sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, grandchildren, godchildren, students and dreamers—who are walking through a world heavy with expectation, comparison, and noise. You see the pressure they face: to perform, to please, to be perfect. You see the silent battles behind their smiles, the weariness behind their achievements. We declare peace over their minds. We speak rest into their souls. We release them from the burden of proving their worth, and remind them that they are already loved, already chosen, already enough. Let Your voice be louder than the pressure. Let Your presence be their safe place. Let Your joy be their strength when the world feels too heavy. Raise up mentors, encouragers, and prophetic voices who will speak life into them. Give them courage to say “no” to what drains them and “yes” to what heals them. May they walk in divine timing, not worldly urgency. We declare: They will not break under pressure. They will rise with purpose. They will flourish in grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen. And…it is so!”

“I don’t talk much anymore, not because I have nothing to say, but because I know you will blame me. Every word turns into an argument, every feeling becomes my fault. So I stay quiet not out of peace, but out of exhaustion. It’s easier to stay silent than to be misunderstood again and again. Silence becomes a shield when words no longer feel safe. And that’s when you realize sometimes it’s not that people stop talking, they just stop feeling heard.”

“...A body pocked by landmines left by a lifetime of war? And yet I have survived. To be here. Right here. Right now. Have I made it to this point so that finally—for once—I can see myself clearly? The sunlight glimmers. This same light, this same mountain that watches over us in the near distance will still be here long after I am gone. Shouldn’t I view myself—shouldn’t we all view ourselves—as eternally majestic?”
