Don't waste your time being upset about something you can't change. Begin again and do it better this time.

Life is what comes along after you have planned something else.

Excellence - Take what you have and do the BEST with it.

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

Everyday ask God for favor. He can open doors for you that no one else can open.

I'm jealous. I'm mad. I feel bad. But one day, I woke up and I thought, you know what? This is wearing me out. And I'm not getting anywhere. So, I decided that even though I did not have a good beginning, I made a decision that I was going to let go of what lies behind and I was going to have a great finish.

I had received Christ as my savior when I was a child, but I didn't know anything. I didn't have any knowledge. I didn't go to church. And I had a lot of problems, and I needed somebody to kind of help me along. And I think sometimes even people who want to serve God, if they have got so many problems that they don't think right and they don't act right and they don't behave right, they almost need somebody to take them by the hand and help lead them through the early years. And that's really what discipleship is. It's helping people.
