This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

God's used me to help turn their life around or give them hope, you know? It's very rewarding

I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don't believe that we're supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God's blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that's how God leads us.

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.

We all have unfair situations and things we don't like. You can get bitter, discouraged and sour, or you can see it as fertilizer and say, “ This difficulty is not going to defeat me; it's going to promote me. It's not going to hinder me; it's going to help me.” Don't just go through it, grow through it.

If you develop an image of success, health, abundance, joy, peace, happiness, nothing on earth will be able to hold those things from you.

God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.
