week 14 | 366

"The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's "real life". The truth is, of course, that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life - the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls his "real life" is a phantom of his own imagination."

~ C.S. Lewis

week 7 | 366

"...but despite all of this, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loved us enough to die for us. For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels won't, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God's love away. Our fears about today, our worries about tomorrow, or where we are - high above the sky or in the deepest ocean - nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us."
