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

Refusing to gossip is a beautiful decision to make. It not only creates richer friendships but, more importantly, it makes our relationship with the Lord more authentic and believable. We honor God when we honor each other.

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

When feelings of inadequacy come creeping in, let's park our minds in God's truth.

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

Whether we're on the path toward victory or defeat is determined by the very next choice we make. Not the choices from yesterday. Not the choices five minutes ago.

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.
