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

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.

Remember, conflict doesn’t always mean we have to fight against something and tear it apart.... Conflict can also mean we’re fighting for something to make it even better and stronger than it’s ever been.

The only true satisfaction we can seek is the satisfaction of being obedient to the Lord.

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

Prayer does make a difference-a life-changing, mind-blowing, earth-rattling difference.

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.
