I have always believed in God.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged - 'There's nothing good in my future' - I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

Just because something didn't work out your way, or somebody disappointed you, that does not change who you are.

Don't let where you are be an excuse not to grow.

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.

I'm getting better every day in every way.

I feel like what's come out of me is the gift God has given me just to encourage people, to help them know that there's a better life.
