Life is beautiful.  Even in the midst of great transformation and great change, which can be painful and awkward, there is great goodness and great beauty.

On the greyest days, this is key to remember:  It will all be ok.  Not just ok, but marvelously better than anything we could’ve ever hoped or dreamed.

God is doing big things.  Sometimes the grandness is masked by the day-to-day, the smallness of the in-between, but make no mistake—just as a seed sprouts and grows unseen beneath the soil before it becomes a big, beautiful tree, so too is the work God does in a patient, humble, brave, little soul.

Be patient, my friend.  The greatness of tomorrow is built on the process of today.
