“Set your goals then disappoint yourself then try again! Never stop trying!”

I know Jesus is not finished with me yet.

I have to actively put effort into reminding myself of how far I’ve come so I do not only pay attention to how far I have yet to go.

Your circumstances don’t need to be okay for you to be okay.

Lord, please transform this worldly brokenness into actions that will praise you.

It wasn’t all in vain, all the lives laid to rest your sacrifice made it possible to keep fighting.

Action over worry. Action over fear. Action over anxiety!

Life has a tendency to pile problems on problems, but god steps in with his bigger and better ways.

It is not your career, your friends, not your possessions, it is your soul.

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.

Hate to disappoint, but no feathers. I came to earth stripped naked.

Anger is really disappointed hope.

I think the questions on the grit scale about not letting setbacks disappoint you, finishing what you begin, doing things with focus, I think that those are things I would aspire to or hope for for all our children.

There’s always going to be pressure, and there’s always going to be an area where you disappoint. As a storyteller, you have to understand that.

When you are reconciled to the fact that each is for himself in the world you will ask less from your fellows. They will not disappoint you, and you will look upon them more charitably.

Being disappointed is one thing and being discouraged is something else. I am disappointed but I am not discouraged.

To my disappointment I now realized that to know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody.

It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar.
