If you're gifted enough, nappy hair, gap teeth, acne face - I don't care what it is, greatness will shine through anything!

I think it's important that when you're bringing something to the table that you're sure has value, that you don't diminish yourself just so that you can have an opportunity.

I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.

You can't be who you are going to be and who you used to be at the same time.

Contentment comes when you find the people, places, and events in life you were created to impact.

As much as it pleases God to bless you, there will be moments when everything you try goes up in smoke. There will be moments when the one you counted on most walks away and leaves you groping through blinding tears and wailing questions of why. Plans and goals can be circumvented by the most disappointing of times, leaving you learning the art of patience and the acceptance of a denied request.

You can't just be a recipient of a blessing, you have to do something to make it happen.
