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

I understand true life doesn't happen when I constantly gaze backwards, mulling over all the injustices others have done or I have done to others.

A hopeful book that moms will relish, Blue Like Playdough is an honest, peel-back-the-covers look at the creative way God shapes us through childhood and parenthood. Tricia Goyer explores her own weaknesses along the journey, revealing her desire to serve the God who forms strength and joy and perseverance within her. A compelling, fresh read.

God's heart…is not that we escape our lot, but that we learn to thrive in the midst of it.

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

We may not understand the pathways God lays out before us. We may not even like walking the journey. But even in failure, we can trust that He’ll do more than we expect.

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