Life is too short to leave your walls bare or colorless. Unless you like bare and colorless then it is fine.

Anything good that we do is because of God. Whenever we get our eyes off of Him we crash and burn.

When you go through a process of #1 praying daily and staying in God's word #2 obey Him in the small decisions every day #3 ask advice from a number of spiritual counselors then you can step out peacefully knowing that pleasing God is all that matters. America was built on this attitude.

Things that influence me are my kids, their happiness, colorfulness, and vitality. My husband - he comes up with some great quotes and ideas. God - He is the Ultimate artist. And what I see around me - flowers, leaves, trees, birds, fruit, vegetables.

I have been trying to get the hang of not being proud but instead turning that into thankfulness. Really whatever we have to be proud about, it is something given to us by the Lord.

Life is too short to not tell every one you know about Jesus. I need to practice this more.

There's no better friend than a sister.
