A woman who is careful with her words is a gift to all who know her.

Just because we feel offended doesn't mean we must be offended. Feelings are indicators not dictators.

Everything I do and say tells a story of who I am serving. If I am acting out of anger and spite, I am serving the father of darkness and spreading his darkness. If I am honoring to the Lord with my actions, I am serving to further the name of Jesus and spreading His light.
