you can live as if nothing is a miracle;
you can live as if everything is a miracle.

13. You're Gonna Be Okay.

​January 13, 2022

I know it's all you've got to just be strong
And it's a fight just to keep it together
I know you think that you are too far gone
But hope is never lost,
hope is never lost

Just take one step closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You'll get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You're gonna be okay

I know your heart is heavy from those nights
But just remember that you are a fighter
You never know just what tomorrow holds
And you're stronger than you know,
stronger than you know

When the night is closing in
Don't give up and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end,
​it's not the end
You're gonna be okay

 
Brian & Jenn Johnson, "You're Gonna Be Okay"

14. I Can Choose.

January 14, 2022

​Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself:
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead,
tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet.
I have just one day,
today,
and I’m going to be happy.”


Groucho Marx

Darkness cannot drive out darkness;

16. No Matter What.

12/9/2021

 
Picture
January 16, 2022

​A lot of us grew up believing
At any moment we could lose it all
And at the drop of a hat
God might turn His back and move on

A lot of us feel like we blew it
Thinking that we're just too far gone
But I want you to know
There's still a hope for you now

No matter what you've done
You can't erase His love
Nothing can change it
You're not separated
No matter what


Ryan Stevenson, "No Matter What"

When you come out of the storm,
you won’t be the same person who walked in.
That’s what this storm’s all about.

20. Step Forward Into The Unknown.

12/2/2021

 
Picture
January 20, 2022

Sometimes the future changes quickly and completely,
and we’re left with only the choice of what to do next.
We can choose to be afraid of it.
Just stand there trembling, not moving.
Assuming the worst that can happen.
Or we step forward into the unknown,
and assume it will be brilliant.


Sandra Oh
