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

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

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

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

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.

As I look back over my mountains of growth and compare them to the molehills where I stagnated, community often made the difference.
