You do not beg the sun for mercy. -Maud'dib's Travail from The Stilgar Commentary

I have no fear, for fear is the little death that kills me over and over. Without fear, I die but once.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. —JOHN 1:5 (ESV)

I can face things that are out of my control and not act out of control.

On the other side of pain, there is still love.

But grief still has to be worked through. It is like walking through water. Sometimes there are little waves lapping about my feet. Sometimes there is an enormous breaker that knocks me down. Sometimes there is a sudden and fierce squall. But I know that many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.

On a planet that has given in... you must prepare to be very strong.

But as she had felt she was beyond fear, so now she was beyond screaming.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. Thats the essence of it.

Your greatest highs come from overcoming your greatest lows.

Rise above storms.Sail against tides.Succeed against the odds.

In sorrow and suffering, go straight to God with confidence, and you will be strengthened, enlightened and instructed.
