Dare to be brave today, and trust that when you extend your wings, you will fly.

When we think of other people as our center and fulfillment, we live frustrated lives.

Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.

A broken person understands she needs rescue, and she depends on God to resurrect and deliver. And she also understands that even if God chooses not to deliver, His ways are higher and more amazing then what we can fathom.

We cannot let the haters of this world define us. Or frighten us into no longer being ourselves.

Worry is a weighty monster with poisoned tentacles. It clutches at us, grabs at our minds, steals our breath, our will. It lurks. It pounces. It colors how we perceive the world.

Pain can either thrust me into the arms of Jesus or make me turn my back on Him. Either way, it's a choice.
