Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you're an owner. Faith is at its best when it's that way too. It's best lived when it's owned.

Love does whatever it takes to multiply itself and somehow along the way everyone becomes a part of it.
Bob Goff
Image
Do less of what you're terrible at and more of what you're good at. I don't know if that sounds too simple, but it's been working for me.

I want to go barefoot because it’s holy ground I want to be running because time is short and none of us has as much runway as we think we do and I want it to be a fight because that’s where we can make a difference. That’s what love does.
