But as much as life is sometimes about knowing what you want and going after it and finishing, maybe other times it’s about slowing down and shutting up and waiting. There’s not always a clear beginning and obvious end. Sometimes we’re in the middle . . . and it’s okay to camp out there for a while.

Sometimes believing is a matter of deciding. Deciding who you’re going to trust and what you know about who you trust.

When you really let people see you, Amelia–all of you, not just the snow-obsessed reporter–it’s impossible to look away.

But I don't want to spend my life letting my pain be the lens through which I see the world.

Far be it for me to speak for the Almighty, but I feel fairly confident saying God isn't looking for impressive people. He's looking for people who are willing to be impressed by Him.

But when I was in my deepest pain, God came for me He didn't leave me in an injured pile on the sidewalk nor did he stand around waiting for me to get up and move, He came running for me.
