“It is important allow to feel what I feel, but not to let it dictate my day or week or life.”

I always forget to tell myself – you are doing awesome.

Your peace doesn’t have a due date.

Lord, guide me to always see your face when I look in the mirror and not my own vanity.

Do not be afraid, for he has already conquered tomorrow.

God, I know you’ve been there. I know you’ve been there even if I didn’t feel you. I ask you open my heart up to you when I want to close it.

When the dark is near and the light is far, I will run. I will run with open arms to the light.

Lord, help me to not walk the path of anxiety or worry, but in the path you have willed for me.

What an injustice on your life that would be: to base your decisions on fear.

You have called me to be your daughter, your servant, your friend, to be a vessel of your light in this dark world.

When you become secure enough in your own capabilities and path, what people try to negatively project on you doesn’t matter.

You were worth it when he died on the cross for you.

Death will render all your possessions useless.

It is okay to not be in control.

Helpless does not equal worthless.

Other people need to be seen too. So be kind.

You eat and sleep it all day long and play on the streets until mom calls you in.

Each of us, when our day’s work is done, must seek our ideal, whether it be love or pinochle or lobster à la Newburg, or the sweet silence of the musty bookshelves.

The older you get, the more fragile you understand life to be. I think that’s good motivation for getting out of bed joyfully each day.

One day in the shower, you figure it out. It’s a special day in a man’s life. I was like, ‘Oh, I found me a hobby.’
