He'd fought hard, Lida told me, as if there was another way to fight.
So many people will tell you ”no”, and you need to find something you believe in so hard that you just smile and tell them ”watch me”. Learn to take rejection as motivation to prove people wrong. Be unstoppable. Refuse to give up, no matter what. It’s the best skill you can ever learn.
Tunapaswa kujisikia furaha kuu tunapokumbana na majaribu mbalimbali katika maisha yetu, tukijua kwamba kujaribiwa kwa imani yetu hutufanya wavumilivu na wapiganaji katika Jina la Yesu, na tunapaswa kuruhusu uvumilivu katika maisha yetu kwa sababu Mungu hutumia uvumilivu huo kutukomaza na kutukamilisha.
Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.
Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more.
You’re doing just fine.
Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the world's problems?
