"The impacts of trauma can make us feel like damaged good. We are impatient with ourselves. But Jesus knows, and he says, ‘Come to me.’ You don’t need to unburden or collect yourself and then come to Jesus. Your very burden is what qualifies you to come."

"There is still time for you to be all that you want to be. Where you are in life is good enough. No matter your age, you are here today, so there is time. There is time to quit the job you hate and find one you enjoy. There is time to go back to college if that's what you want to do. There is time to fall in love with the right person. There is time to have a family of your own no matter what that looks like. There is time to learn how to stop losing yourself trying to please others. There is time for growth and for change. There is time for healing and for understanding. As long as you are breathing there is time. Don't rush time. Let it flow how it needs to." 🌱
