Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life.

Because of the lingering discrimination, many women still lack confidence. They live in fear of stepping beyond what they feel is acceptable 'female' behavior. I can remember feeling that I wasn't 'normal' because I was aggressive, had dreams and goals, and wanted do do great things...I am glad now that I found courage to do something radical and chase my dreams.

There are times when God leaves huge question marks as tools in our lives to stretch our our faith.

Forgive the person who badly hurt you long ago and also the stranger who stepped on your toe in the grocery store.

Make sure you are doing what is important to God-not just what is important to everyone else you know.

If you will stop feeding your feelings, then they will stop controlling you.

Giving in to fear alters God's best plan for your life.
