“There are three ways to make a living in this business: Be first, Be smarter, or...”

In life, it’s a given that you will lose people… Which makes the friendships that do hold out, the ones that make it through countless breakdowns and breakthroughs and changes and years, so damn important.
Words cannot describe the tremendous joy to have God’s stamp of approval on the decisions we make in life.
There is a longing only You can fill A raging tempest only You can still
Bond of love
As I read 1 Samuel 20 today, I felt unusually overwhelmed by the amount of love Jonathan and David had for each other, and more so the love Jonathan had for David (v17 fir Jonathan loved David as he loved himself), and their friendship whereby God was in the center.

Matthew 10:37-38
As I noticed the insecurities in others, therein I saw my very own.
