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.

I was made for more than being stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat. I am not made to be a victim of my poor choices. I was made to be a victorious child of God.

Don't let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.

Find that courageous yes. Fight for that confident no.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart.

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

I give grace because I so desperately need it.
