I just wanted to get the message that God had put into my heart into another form, because I knew the print media would reach a different group of people.

There will always be somebody more successful, more beautiful, more talented. You have to realize, you're not running their race. You're running your race.

Part of my message is that God never said that we weren't going to have difficulties, but you know what, He said to stay full of joy and I'm going to help you overcome. So I think that is what resonates with people and helps draw so many people. Because it is not a message that you are barely going to make it, you're a victim. We are not victims, we are victors.

You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events.

Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don't think God categorizes sins.

You are victors, not victims!

Nothing in life has happened to you. It's happened for you. Every disappointment. Every wrong. Even every closed door has helped make you into who you are.
