People will try to label you not good enough, too slow, too old, too many mistakes. You can't stop negative comments or prevent negative labels, but you can choose to not let them hold you back.

I always try to put a seed of hope into people's hearts. I'm not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.

Instead of talking yourself out of your future start talking yourself into it.

Be sensitive to the needs of those around you. Live as a healer. Lift the fallen, restore the broken, and encourage the discouraged.

Our words have creative power. With our words, we can speak blessings over our future or we can speak negative things over our future.

I just think that trusting God means we're going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we're never going to understand them all.

To reach up for the new, you must let go of the old. What lies behind you is not nearly as important as what lies in front of you.
