...if I die suddenly, my gravestone might appropriately offer this insight into my departure: "God got tired." I require lots of work.

Don't assume that God will always work in your life the way He always has. A sunset is proof that God colors outside the lines. He has no status quo. Even the laws of nature are His to interrupt. As many times as you've prayed before, today may be the day when God sends the answer so swiftly-so divinely-that you're windburned.

Nobody appreciates deliverance like those who've nearly been destroyed.

Picture God nudging you and me awake before dawn because He can hardly wait to be with us.

We must be careful to avoid spiritual elitism. Everything we are and anything we possess as believers in Christ is a gift of grace. Pure hearts before God must be cleansed from any hint of spiritual pride.

I'm a common woman sharing common problems seeking common solutions on a journey with an uncommon Savior.

Whatever God is urging you to clear away cannot begin to be compared to what He ultimately wants to bring you.
