Quotes by Jamie Tworkowski
With no fear, he charges his heart at the pointed world as a measure of sacrifice.
There are dreams inside of me and those are mine and my guess is that they’re there for a reason. But for all the days like now where the dreams are asked to be only dreams, I’m gonna keep getting out of bed. I’m gonna keep living my story. I’m gonna believe that there is reason and purpose, and power in my life. I’m gonna believe that I’m alive inside a story bigger than my pain, bigger than everything missing.
If i have learned anything in the last couple of years, i have learned that it’s a lot easier to talk about loving people than it is to actually love people.
The thing about the idea that you’re not alone is that it doesn’t do us much good if it’s just an idea. We have to do something with it.
Perhaps you can relate to feeling in the middle, to having questions in the air. I don’t know about you, but I hope to live a good story. To see things invisible and watch them come to life. The critics will probably always be there calling us fools or crooks, but we should just keep going. They can’t see what we see and the are not the thing that drives us.
Love is a choice as much as it is magic. Magic comes in moments, but choices stretch out over time. We make them new each morning.
It hits me to wonder if this great feeling is what Christ knows when we surrender our broken hearts, when we trade life for death.
If you love somebody, tell them. If there is conflict, let it go and fight instead for peace. Break the numb false silence and break the distance too. Laugh and cry and apologize and start again. This life is short and fragile but friendship is among the greatest miracles.
A shouted ‘You’re going to Hell’ is an awful introduction to a God who desires to love and know His children.
