“It’s never fun when we’re in the midst of the storm. But when we land someplace we know we never could have found on our own, it is a beautiful thing.”

Whether we get to avoid pain and suffering or we must persevere in the midst of it, our deliverance comes when we’re dragged from the enemy of our souls to the heart of God.

Spiritual maturity does not mean that we will never make wrong plans. In fact, spiritual maturity often means having the courage to admit we’ve made the wrong plans.

Sometimes a storm in your life is what will blow you to the place you are longing to be.

No sin, no matter how momentarily pleasurable, comforting, or habitual, is worth missing what God has for us.

You haven’t been through one thing that God cannot heal you from.

Ministry to an individual is as mighty an act of God as is ministry to the masses.

If you are still alive, then God is NOT finished with you!

God has promised to every single one of us that even in our hardest times, if we would just hang on long enough, the blessing will come.

Jealousy takes root in the soil of insecurity.

It is not about never doubting, it is about coming out on the other side with twice the faith you had going into your doubt.

Believe that God has heard you.

Trust God for your current life circumstances and believe that He has called you this day to be courageous.

Forgiveness doesn’t make the situation OK, it makes you OK.

People don’t need Christians to act like we always have it together. People need us to be real! What kind of healing would come if we all just got real before God and others?

To God, our journey is JUST as important as our destination!

Men are not our problem; it’s what we are trying to get from them that messes us up. We use guys like mirrors to see if we’re valuable.

I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I am to have such beautiful and inspiring people in my life.

I revel in the solace found when gold rays caress your sleeping face. Blissfully unaware of the beauty they’re revealing.

A cherry blossom refusing to bow to the seasons; fighting off frozen winds fiercely, for it knows the power held in the beauty, of its bloom.

There is no exquisite beauty, without some strangeness in the proportion.

It tastes like gold, and everything before then felt like dust. Everytime they question how beautiful your love Is.

The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.

This place, this moment is the most peaceful and the most beautiful I have ever known.

Healing is a messy process. But it always has a beautiful ending.
