thrive.

It's like you have this perfect plan

for how to be safe and how to survive,

and then God has a plan

to put you through the fire

and make you learn how to thrive.

We fight against the hardship like we're striving for the perfect that is yet to come. 

Instead, let us live present in current circumstances, triumphs or struggles. 

Not as an acceptance of defeat, rather a triumphant hope-living in reality with eyes open, hands ready, and ears tuned-in.
