The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it's going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.

Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me.

Sometimes life is so hard you can only do the next thing.Whatever that is just do the next thing.God will meet you there.

The deepest lessons come out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires.

We are not meant to die merely in order to be dead. God could not want that for the creatures to whom He has given the breath of life. We die in order to live.

One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.

I am not a theologian or a scholar, but I am very aware of the fact that pain is necessary to all of us. In my own life, I think I can honestly say that out of the deepest pain has come the strongest conviction of the presence of God and the love of God.
