My only prayer for my time with you is, "God I just want these men and women to long for you."

When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

God didn’t just give a little for us; He gave His best. He gave Himself.

Yes, it is God who works in you. And, yes, there is work for you to do. Yes, the Spirit empowers you to do the work. And, yes, you do the work.

I love being in the ocean. I love the unpredictability of it- size of wave, animals you see, etc.

There will be people who will teach for the sake of greed or for the sake of ego. So watch their lives. Do they look and act like Jesus?

If life is a river, then pursuing Christ requires swimming upstream. When we stop swimming, or actively following Him, we automatically begin to be swept downstream.
