I want to learn how to be more thankful for what I am, than guilty for what I'm not.

We were made for more than compromise. We were made for God's promises in every area of our lives.

Great love isn't two people finding the perfect match in one another. Great love is two people making the choice to be a match.

Progress. Just make progress. It's okay to have setbacks and the need for do-overs. It's okay to draw a line in the sand and start over again - and again. Just make sure you're moving the line forward. Move forward. Take baby steps... Then change will come. And it will be good.

Here's an encouraging word for someone tonight - don't think you're not doing what God called you to do just because things don't seem as glamorous as you thought they would be. If you are a woman who honors God right where you are, you are in ministry. Keep being obedient, keep looking for the next open door of opportunity, and above all else hold closely to our Lord.

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.

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