One thing you can be assured of is that God has already worked out all the details of what your obedience will accomplish - and its all good. we need not fear what our obedience will cause to happen in our life. we should only fear what our disobedience will cause us to miss. the sooner this truth resonates in your heart, the quicker you can make peace with a command from God that you dont fully understand.

Life as a Christ follower will always be a learning process of depending less on our own strength and more on God's power.

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.

As I make goals for this year... Jesus, let your thoughts become my thoughts and bend my will to Your will.

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

God, despite my circumstances, I will find reasons to praise You.

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.
