Progress. Just make progress. It's okay to have setbacks and the need for do-overs. It's okay to draw a line in the sand and start over again - and again. Just make sure you're moving the line forward. Move forward. Take baby steps... Then change will come. And it will be good.

We must determine to hear God's Words and put them into practice.

Nothing done with the focus on God is ever a waste of time.

Jesus, I don't want to be a secret keeper with my faith. I want to be a bold and gracious truth proclaimer. For You. With You. Because of You. Me, the unwanted girl whom You loved, redeemed and wanted.

Remember who you are. Don't compromise for anyone, for any reason. You are a child of the Almighty God. Live that truth.

Even Jesus, the Savior of the world, had to take time each day to ask for his portion.

Truth is the only healthy place from which to speak. Assumption is the birthplace of godless chatter.
