If I'm trusting myself, I will stare at all the possible ways I could fail. If I'm trusting God, I will stare at all the possible ways He'll use this whether I fail or succeed.

Big things are built one brick at a time. Victories are achieved one choice at a time. A life well lived is chosen one day at a time.

God gave me emotions so I could experience life, not destroy it

Most of us spend years chasing things in this world that we think will make us feel loved. But everything this world has to offer is temporary. Everything. The kind of love our souls crave is lasting, eternal. And only God can fill up our hearts with that kind of love.

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

So often, we want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention. But we need to leave enough space in our days to get up from our prayers and actually look for God in the moment-to-moment things that happen.

If I'm going to call myself a person of faith, I need to be willing to live a life that actually requires faith.
