MOLESKINE: there’s no i in Team. “Remain in my love”
it’s easy to get trapped in discouragement, despair, and despondency. When we’re isolated we are vulnerable. However, the truth is we are a part of something bigger than ourselves. We have all faced brokenness of some kind. Whether we feel it in those moments or not – we all matter. With the pax or with other bonds of brotherhood, choose to lean in rather than the settle into the temptation for isolation. Encouragement to lean in, and not to fave the battle alone. Encouragement to check in on those we know may be struggling
