God doesn’t give me strength just to get through the day. He gives me strength to make a difference in the day.

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
NOT EVEN THE ONES WITH DEGREES, BIG JOB TITLES, OR THE PEOPLE ON YOUR VISION BOARD.
EVERYONE IS JUST TRYING LOUDLY, FAILING LOUDLY, AND TRYING AGAIN.
AND SO SHOULD YOU.
