You can not live your life just based on what everyone else thinks.

Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying

I don't want to spend my whole life talking about the promised land without ever getting there. I want to live in it.

I believe it's easy to serve God if we learn to hear from Him before we struggle to do things for Him that He never asked us to do.

Is your problem really your problem, or is it your attitude towards the problem that's your problem?

If you are a believer married to an unbeliever I want to tell you that the greatest witness that you can be to them is to try to be the same all the time. Don't let the way they act control you. Dave didn't let my actions control him. He stayed happy, and that just made me madder, because unhappy people just want to make other people unhappy, but it finally broke through to me that he's got a stability and a joy and a peace that I did not have.

I need to keep pressing on until I am thoroughly thankful.
