Ever felt isolated? Been feeling isolated and it’s been a minute? Yeah. People have been telling me to get comfortable being by myself. I mean, I get what they’re saying, but humans were made for fellowship, and one of the first accessible observations God made was that it wasn’t good for man to be alone. […]
Try Harder v. Try Again
Falling. An inevitable and critical aspect of “trying”. So many have fallen after making great efforts, and are so discouraged, they never get up and try again. Yet falling is a part of the process.
