"I TRULY believe we can overwhelm the darkness of this world by shining something BRIGHTER and more BEAUTIFUL."

it's a beautiful thing

I love me some Donald Miller. Courtesy of him, my thoughts for the day:

“I bring this up only because life is complex, and the idea that you can break  it down or fix it in a few steps is rather silly. The truth is, there are a million steps, and we don’t even know what the steps are, and worse, at any given moment we may not be willing or even able to take them; and still worse, they are different for you and me and they are always changing. I have come to believe the sooner we find this truth BEAUTIFUL, the sooner we will fall in love with the God who keeps SHAKING THINGS UP, keeps changing the path, keeps rocking the boat to test our faith in Him, teaching us to not rely on easy answers, bullet points, magic mantras…but rather in His guidance, His existence, His mercy, His love.”

I laugh when I think about where I was just one year ago. The plans I had in mind. The path I thought I was taking.Things have since then been quite shaken up. And it's a beautiful thing.

Countdown to next Haiti trip: 2 months. 21 days.

Love always,
Janae
