We pay far too much attention to externals.

When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt. It is impossible to inhale new air until you exhale the old.

God's grace is painted on the canvas of despair.

I chose to present myself as one who comes from among the people, and I can be touched by their pain because I have my own.

There is no room for God in a mind that's full of self.

Come hell or high water you will never take me back to the place I was before. I have been through too much to let life whoop me again. My faith is stronger than it's ever been, my mind is more tenacious than it's ever been, my soul is more absolute.

It is your passion that empowers you to be able to do that thing you were created to do.
