I had lots of hurt and lots of pain, lots of woundedness, bruises, broken heartedness in my life. I was abused sexually by my father, abused mentally, emotionally. My mom didn't know what to do about it, and she was being hurt in the process. So she just didn't deal with it. And I can guarantee you, just because you don't deal with something, that doesn't make it go away.

The biggest black eye that you can give the devil is to give God your pain and let Him turn it into gain.

I'm never a failure, unless I quit trying, and neither are you.

you have to realize that you don't have someone else's life and your never going to. You better start loving the one you got. Embrass the life you have and stop wishing that you could be someone else. Just stop all that and start saying "God here I am. Do what you want to do with me".

It`s important to have a relationship with God. He's the only one that can get down inside of you and heal what needs to be healed inside.

Nobody has a perfect life and it's entirely possible that if you want someone else's life they are busy wanting someone else's too–maybe even yours.

If you refuse to be happy until you have no problems or challenges, you will probably never be happy!
