I’ve been gleaning through some hopeful and encouraging quotes that I pray will bring peace and joy to you today.
Please let me know which one especially moves you in the comments below and I will try to add more quotes from that person. Blessings~
Head injuries are all different, often markedly so. If you have a head injury you will live with that head injury all the time and the only person who knows and understands your head injury is you. So called head injury experts will never understand a head injury unless they have had one. Yes, they can help, but when it comes to living with your head injury you are the expert and can feel superior to any doctor. -Philip Watling
You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.
Joy runs deeper than despair.
Both quotes by Corrie Ten Boom
Something will grow from all that you are going through and it will be you. -Toby Mac
The giant in front of you is never bigger than the God who lives in you. -Christina Caine
Make sure Satan has to climb over a lot of scripture to get to you. -John Macarthur
People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it. -Edith Schaeffer
We’re stronger in the places that we’ve been broken. -Ernest Hemingway
David’s pen never wrote more sweetly then when dipped in the ink of affliction. -Octavius Winslow
Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength. -Brigitte Nicole
Believers look up – – take courage. The angels are nearer than you think. -Billy Graham
God doesn’t want something from us, He simply wants us. -C.S. Lewis
The hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. They are the real heros and so are the family and friends who have stood by them. -Christopher Reeves
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing the monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. -C. S. Lewis
Heartache forces us to embrace God out of desperate, urgent need. God is never closer than when your heart is aching. -Joni Eareckson Tada
The Gospel does not call us to receive Christ as an addition to our life, but as our life. -Paul Washer
Trust is the bridge from yesterday to tomorrow built with planks of thanks. -Ann Voskamp
Don’t for one moment suppose that God ever speaks an insincere thing. Question, if you will, your own existence; but do not question the veracity and sincerity of God…There is no insincerity with God. If He tells you to seek Him, seek Him, and do not look at the difficulties. Do not consider them a moment. True, they may appear to be insuperable, but there is nothing impossible with God. -B.H. Carroll
That’s a hard decision! More than one stuck out to me!

I’m so glad you were touched by it too! C. S. Lewis has been a favorite author of mine for years and I continue to be blown away from his wisdom as I find more and more of his writings. π
You’re VERY welcome my friend and have a wonderfully blessed day. β€π

I love Corrie Ten Boom!!! I have the book, “The Hiding Place,” in which she shares her story. I’m so thankful God allowed me to get a free copy of the book when I was in 8th grade.

The first one tends to get my thoughts rolling… I can’t say I’ve ever had a head injury.. not outwardly. I was never the brightest but the drug and alcohol use really tests me now. I kind of have bad short term memory. I feel like my brain is still running on Windows ’98 lol. It’s embarrassing but it’s humbling. It’s amazing how just a little damage to your brain causes such a difference in you.

Yes, it’s amazing how ‘fearfully and wonderfully’ our brains and bodies are. I never understood the fearful part until TBI, BUT I do believe the brain CAN heal……with time and lots of good nutrition too.βΊ
