I give myself time to move through and to process whatever is making me sad. Marianne Williamson

Sure, you can choose the safety and predictability of the cage, forfeiting the adventure God has destined for you. But you won't be the only one missing out or losing out.

Where might the advance of God's kingdom in the world stall out because you weren't there on the front lines? Mark Batterson
