I had this convo with BB this morning. Knowing how painful it is to simply suck in a little water, can you imagine being under water, knowing you will eventually have to take a “breath” of water?? Horrific.
While that breath is painful and the thought of it horrific, it means survival. And one thing I know about BB — and I’ve learned to accept about myself — we are fighters. But more importantly, survivors. That one breath can lead to a breakthrough. That one breath gives us the power (even through the fucking pain) to rise again.
Great point… as long as that breath is taken above the surface. What haunts me is the thought of being fully submerged, holding your breath…knowing at some point you will have to release it and inhale WATER.
The love of God goes nowhere … it is our faith that either disappears or becomes our beacon.

Very true and the dirty little secret is that it is our CHOICE to let it disappear or become a beacon.

A 4 month hiatus and all we get is this measly quote?! 😂 j/k good to see you. Don’t take that breath of water or you’re likely to choke to death.
