Put the guitar riffs of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” on maximum volume and on repeat. When you stop believing that prayer changes things and that God transforms the most unlikely people, remember that He does the impossible. Don’t stop believing
in summer nights, bonfires, & endless stars.
in pea coats, iced coffee, & books.
in art, the weight of words, & brokenness.
in honesty, vulnerability, & doing things on purpose.
in mistakes, apologies, & grace.
in a lifetime of moments, not minutes.
in the dysfunctional, supportive, & family.
in friends, promises, & chocolate.
in redemption, Jesus, & unconditional love.
