God loves to take people from broken backgrounds and surprise them with possibilities.

The decisions you make today matter. Every decision points your life in the direction you are about to travel. No decision is an isolated choice. It’s a chain of events. If you choose wisely, your future will reflect that. But if you don’t choose wisely, the decisions you make now will take you to places you don’t want to be later.

Feelings should be indicators, not dictators.

Life as a Christ follower will always be a learning process of depending less on our own strength and more on God's power.

At the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things. Anything else leads to confusion, emotional exhaustion and a lack of good things.

Great love isn't two people finding the perfect match in one another. Great love is two people making the choice to be a match.

My goal should never be to raise kids that make me look good. (Oh but how my flesh craves this!) My goal should be to raise kids who love God and spend their lives making His goodness known in their corner of the world.
