When I was a teenager, I didn't get to do a lot of the things that other kids my age were doing because my dad was very controlling and he wouldn't allow me to go to school activities, like games and dances. So I didn't have positive expectations for my future or really dream about what I could do with my life. I was just trying to survive until I could get out on my own.

We've all got our own brand of problems. You can be pitiful or powerful. Take your pick.

When we are made right with God, we begin to think right, we begin to talk right, and we begin to act right.

All complaining comes from pride.

Set your mind that no matter what is going on in your life, you will have a good attitude.

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

God is able to do anything. All things are possible with Him, but we must not quit praying.
