"And if my fatigue sounds defeatist, it isn't. It's the opposite. It's an internal rallying cry that reminds me how bad things are." -Lindy West
Lindy West paints an inspiringly accurate picture of today’s tired feminism and the reasons why we get so worn out defending many of our greatest causes.
“She needs God more than she needs you, just as you need God more than you need her.”

I wanna hold your hand so I can pull you out of the loneliness that shrouds your head in the late nights when the world comes in too soon.
Never alone.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Inspiration
I’m sorry for passing judgment instead of extending love.
Inspiration
I’m not a Christian because I was scared into it, brainwashed, brought up with it or because I thought it would be easy to live this way, but because I know what God has done for me, the sacrifice He made for me. Because I want to spend the rest of my life living for Him, and with Him in eternity. I don’t live by blind faith, the Bible doesn’t tell us to do that, but to always be ready to tell people the reason for our hope.
“He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a “Christian” without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.”
Inspiration
There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

In the happy moments, praise God. In the difficult moments, seek God… In the quiet moments, trust God.. In every moment, thank God.

It’s not what people do that scares me. It’s what they hide. It’s the secrets that keep us from bonding and create distrust. If we were more willing to accept each other’s depravity we’d be more united, we’d be more honest. If you hide two things from me, I’ll assume you’re hiding a million. And I’ll keep you at a distance. I’m not afraid of the evil in you. It’s in me too.
-Donald Miller
