God begins molding a mother after His own heart on the inside-in the inner woman and her heart-and then works outward.

When we hold our thoughts up against God's standards of what is true and what is real, we can recognize and, with His help, learn to release many of our negative emotions, damaging thoughts, and destructive attitudes.

I want God to be first in my life, so I'm putting Him first in my life today.

Just as stars shine brightest in the darkest night, your joy blazes brilliantly through life's problems when you count them as joy.

As we come to know God better, we will also find it easier to know, follow, and accept His will for our life.

I have to know the killer, the victim and the motive when I begin. Then I start to create the characters and see how the novel takes shape based on what these people are like.

If your home is a ministry, shouldn't that ministry become a passion? Shouldn't your feelings and emotions be involved when it comes to the people and place you love? And shouldn't your work be done passionately? Your labors should be labors of love!
