When God's in it, the job gets done.

We need discernment in what we see and what we hear and what we believe.

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.

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

It helps me if I remember that God is in charge of my day - not I.

We want the safety of yesterday even though we know it's not where God would have us.

Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.
