Let's show up to life. Let's prove how beautiful it can really be. Let's face the conflict, redeem it, conquer it, and allow it to mold our character. Let's participate in what God is doing in the world.

I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up.
