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

Because the culture we breathe and work in rushes against rest. It equates our worth with production and wealth and fame. The more we work toward those goals, the more society assigns us worth.

Our task shouldn't be punishing the villains in our lives, but enlarging the God who heals us from all wounds.

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

The roadblocks to growth and joy come when we forget the bigness of God & instead make people bigger than He is.

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

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.
