Just because something is hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

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

God invites us today to live a great story with Him.

On the other end of the spectrum, we can't use this permission to sometimes say no and use it as a wand to wish away all our responsibilities. We also must remember not to use our "no" answers as a weapon. We can't turn into No! ninjas, karate-chopping anyone who even comes close to asking us for something.

This morning, you have a choice. You can lay in the dark replaying the awful events of the week, or you can turn the light on and read God's Word-His truth-which is the best thing to do when lies are swarming and painful thoughts are attacking like a bunch of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

We have to slow the rhythm of rush in our lives so that the best of who are can emerge.

Where there is a lack of rest, there is an abundance of stress.
