Next time you're tempted to be upset, frustrated, offended, remind yourself, it's a part of that ten percent of things in life that you can't control - but you can control how you respond.

Hard times may have held you down, but they will not last forever. When all is said and done, you will be increased.

It’s better to please God and have a few people upset with you than to please people and have God upset with you.

My message is that God is a good God.

I guess no matter how hard you try, you can't escape your past.

My daddy tried to get me up to speak for the 17 years that I worked behind the scenes, but I never had the desire. Naturally, I was nervous and kind of shy. I just didn't want to do it.

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.
