sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

When my needs go unmet,

I’m reminded: God didn’t design a person, place, or title to fulfill me.

He designed my soul to need Jesus.

So if you’re discouraged today by unmet needs,

Maybe you’re not being punished—maybe you’re being invited.

Invited to need the only One who never fails.

If that’s you—

You need to meet my Jesus.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

God is already in the place you’re scared to walk into.

You’re not stepping into the unknown.

You’re stepping into something He already wrote.

Trust Him with the next step — He’s already gone ahead of you.

Short weeks are the devil. I walk around wondering what day it is, where I am, what time it is, is it morning or night….I’m ready for Bob O’clock!

Uncommon advice:

If you don't know what to pursue in life right now.

Pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.

Then the right path will reveal itself.
