“At the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things. Anything else leads to confusion, emotional exhaustion and a lack of good things.”

God is mighty. God is caring. God is worthy of praise. God is loving. God is able. God is in control. Nothing takes God by surprise. Some sweet reminders to soak in before falling asleep tonight.

Not reaching back for what was lost in my yesterdays. And not reaching for what I hope will be in my tomorrow. But living fully with what is right in front of me. And truly seeing the gift of this moment.

This life is not about me. It’s about joining hands with Jesus to fulfill whatever tasks He sets before me and to share His love with all He brings my way.

It is a rare and beautiful thing when we choose to offer love in situations when most people would choose to scorn or ignore.

Raw emotions – anger, frustration, bitterness, resentment – are the feelings we tend to hide from people we want to impress but spew on those we love the most.

When to give grace? I’d rather stand before God knowing I loved others too much rather than regretting that I judged too harshly.

Remember who you are. Don’t compromise for anyone, for any reason. You are a child of the Almighty God. Live that truth.

Nothing done with the focus on God is ever a waste of time.

We were made for more than compromise. We were made for God’s promises in every area of our lives.

My goal should never be to raise kids that make me look good. (Oh but how my flesh craves this!) My goal should be to raise kids who love God and spend their lives making His goodness known in their corner of the world.

What if God’s ‘NO,’ is really a gift? His way to protect us from what we cannot see, provide something better than we can imagine, or be part of the process of growing us closer to Him.

Don’t let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.

Truth is the only healthy place from which to speak. Assumption is the birthplace of godless chatter.

Satan has no power over us except what we allow. Moment by moment, decision by decision, step by step – will we operate in God’s all powerful Truth or allow Satan to entangle us in his lies?

I was made for more than being stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat. I am not made to be a victim of my poor choices. I was made to be a victorious child of God.

Praying helps me see perspectives otherwise beyond me.

Every single choice we make is either going to enhance the spirit or drain it. Every day, we’re either giving ourselves power or taking it away.

Knowing that every single day is so filled with potential – you cannot wait for life to give you anything. You have no right to feel entitled. You are not entitled to anything.

Hustle is waking up the day before you die and realising you gave it your all.

Dancers have more bones than most people and on the days when you work hard you are sure that you have somehow accumulated more bones than you started with.

Every day without exception – is a gift from God, entrusted to us to use for His glory.

I’ve been in a daze the last few days, just wanting all of this to fade away.

The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I’d been up all night inventing the Camcorder.

At the end of the day we are not selling, we are serving.
