Too often we judge people based on our own backgrounds and experiences, but when you understand people's stories, it's easier to understand their demeanor.

You may be at a crossroads in your life. You may have issues to deal with; people you need to forgive. You can go one of the two ways. You can ignore what you now know to be true and keep burying that bitterness in your life, pushing it deeper and allowing it to poison and contaminate you and those around you. Or you can make a much better choice by getting it out in the open and asking God to help you to totally forgive and let it all go.

I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.

It's always darkest before the dawn. The bigger your challenge, the closer you are to your victory.

You didn't accidentally get your personality, looks and gifts. You were designed on purpose to be the way you are. You have what you need to fulfill your destiny.

You're not really free until you're free from trying to please everybody.

I am the sum total of what I have been confessing through the years.
