“The world will figure out what we really believe, by watching what we actually do.”

God’s grace comes in all shapes, sizes, and circumstances as God continues to unfold something magnificent in me.

God wants us to kick it down. Or perhaps just sit outside of it long enough until somebody tells us we can come in.

God finds us in the holes we dig for ourselves. We see failures; He sees foundations.

Love like there’s no tomorrow; live like there’s no yesterday. We’re forgiven; now go love people like we believe it

When you love people like Jesus, you get messy. But messy looks good on you!

The battle for our hearts is fought on the pages of our calendar.

Selfless love is always costly; fear can’t afford it, pride doesn’t understand it and friends never forget it.

The way we love people we disagree with is the best evidence of what we really believe.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you’re an owner. Faith is at its best when it’s that way too. It’s best lived when it’s owned.

I used to be afraid of failing at something that really mattered to me, but now I’m more afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.

You can quit anything on a Thursday.

Courage doesn’t mean we’re not afraid anymore, it just means our actions aren’t controlled by our doubts.

Live your life like you’re exactly who Jesus thinks you are.

I don’t know every step I’m supposed to take. I think Jesus just wants me to take the next step.

A hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. That’s what I want my life to be all about – full of abandon, whimsy, and in love.

Words people say not only have a shelf life but have the ability to shape life.

We’ve got the catalog, now we just have to figure it out. It’s not going to be one gene. It’s going to be an accumulation of changes.

I like to keep my girlish figure

If I was hearing something I couldn’t do, I would figure out how to do it.

I’m not in politics. I’m really not a public figure. But I’m trying to be a little more cognizant of my surroundings.

We can figure it out, it’s not like we all have a disease.

Agitators, organizers, activists, intellectuals aren’t bound by those rules. We’re not trying to figure out, how do I thread this particular needle?

I figure I’m still good for painting until 95 or thereabouts.

Don’t get ahead of yourself. Companies need time to figure out what they want to be.
