Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.

God will give us the strength to be able to handle things. I mean, you can try to do it on your own, and sometimes you can pull off some stuff, but in the long run, it's much easier with Him by our side.

People can do whatever they want if they just set their heart to it, and just never give up, and just go out there and do it.

God has a lot more to give and to offer than the world has to give.
