It is a rare and beautiful thing when we choose to offer love in situations when most people would choose to scorn or ignore.

Outside our comfort zone, though, is where we experience the true awesomeness of God.

Never is a woman so fulfilled as when she chooses to underwhelm her schedule so she can let God overwhelm her soul.

We aren't supposed to strive for perfection everyday. If we were perfect, we'd have no need for Jesus. And it's through our imperfections that we really feel the pull toward our need for a Savior. So the imperfections serve a wonderful purpose if we'll let them.

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

I so desperately want my words to be indicative of how deeply and completely I love my people.

Dear Lord, forgive me for all of the times I've compared myself to others. I know that You have hand-picked all of my qualities. Help me to see these things as beautiful reminders of Your great love in creating me as Your daughter. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
