Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.

Faith does not change my circumstances; faith changes me. Faith may not bring in the tuition check when I need it, but faith will give me what it takes to hang on.

I don't have to explain or defend the will of God. My job is simply to obey it.

People who inspire others are those who see invisible bridges at the end of dead-end streets

Patience is a bitter plant that produces sweet fruit.

The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.

Jesus kept it simple. The lesson wasn't complicated. 'I speak; you believe My word; your son will be fine.' We complicate what God has made simple by seeing the world through human eyes. We want to see in order to believe and presume that our limitations are His.
