One God idea is worth more than a thousand good ideas.
Ultimately, the transcript of your prayers becomes the script of your life.
Pursuing a God-ordained passion, no matter how crazy it seems, is the most responsible thing you can do.
Embrace relational uncertainty. It’s called romance. Embrace spiritual uncertainty. It’s called mystery. Embrace occupational uncertainty. It’s called destiny. Embrace emotional uncertainty. It’s called joy. Embrace intellectual uncertainty. It’s called revelation.
More often than not, the only thing between you and your dream is a rational excuse.
