We need to glance at our problems and stare at Jesus!

I think that one of the things that Christianity really needs, and the church really needs, is credibility. People need to be able to trust us and they need to believe we really want to help them and that it's not just, I'm-doing-this-for-me type thing.

Everyone wants to be an overcomer, but nobody wants anything to overcome.

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.

Don't live like there's no tomorrow because tomorrow always comes.

Go beyond what you feel like doing and do what's right. Every time you do what's right when you don't feel like it, you are growing.

You can't fulfill all the expectations of everyone you know, so you might as well go ahead & disappoint them & get it over with.
