“God is using all of your experiences, both good and bad, to develop your character to match your calling.”

We need to make peace with who we are so insecurities don’t become a distraction to how we live. Just because I sometimes feel insecure doesn’t mean I have to be insecure.

We need to make sure our activities and our attitudes line up with what pleases God first and foremost. Wherever we focus our attention the most will become the driving force in our lives.

Just because something is hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

We want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention.

Trusting God’s plan is the only secret I know in the gentle art of not freaking out.

Whatever has you afraid, angry, intimidated or frustrated tonight – take it to our all-powerful and all-capable God. He has the answer.

Remember, conflict doesn’t always mean we have to fight against something and tear it apart. Conflict can also mean we’re fighting for something to make it even better and stronger than it’s ever been.

I want to honor Jesus with the things I say and the things I choose not to say. Lord, help us all be so careful with sharing opinions as if they are truth.

God never intended for us to rely on others for our sense of well being. Only He is equipped to provide that.

We live in a broken world full of broken people. But isn’t it comforting to know God isn’t ever broken? He isn’t ever caught off guard, taken by surprise, or shocked by what happens next.

Do not confuse the command to love with the disease to please.

Don’t put the whole of your identity into the smallness of a situation.

Dear Lord, forgive me for all of the times I’ve compared myself to others. I know that You have hand-picked all of my qualities. Help me to see these things as beautiful reminders of Your great love in creating me as Your daughter. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head, and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart. The degree to which you do either of these things is the degree to which you’ll be ruled by what other people think of you.

The decisions we make dictate the schedules we keep. The schedules we keep determine the lives we live. The lives we live determine how we spend our souls. So, this isn’t just about finding time. This is about honoring God with the time we have.

Getting healthy isn’t just about losing weight. It’s not limited to adjusting our diet and hoping for good physical results. It’s about recalibrating our souls so that we want to change – spiritually, physically, and mentally. And the battle really is in all three areas.

I don’t react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don’t care about anything. It’s just too hard for me to get emotional. I can’t cry no more.

Playing a bad guy is always more fun than playing the good guy.

I wasn’t stealing cars at like, six. But I’ve always been bad.

It’s not bad people I fear so much as good people. When a person is sure that he is good, he is nearly hopeless; he gets cruel- he believes in punishment.

A system in which we may have an enforced rest from legislation for two years is not bad.

I have a two-story house and a bad memory, so I’m up and down those stairs all the time. That’s my exercise.

Always be nice to people. Whatever how bad they are to you. To show them you are not like them.

You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.
