“Not making a decision is actually a decision. It’s the decision to stay the same.”

A woman who is careful with her words is a gift to all who know her.

Today, let’s set our minds and hearts on feeling more thankful for what we are than guilty for what we’re not. Let’s cut the threads of guilt with grace.

Spending some time getting quiet can really be the best remedy for tangled situations. Taking a step back from all the emotion, frustration, and exhaustion to sit quietly with Jesus will do more to untangle a mess than anything else I’ve ever found.

You’ve never gone too far that God can’t redeem you, restore you, forgive you, and give you a second chance.

You have the exact qualities God knew your kids would need in a mother. Each day, hold up your willingness and ask God to make you the best version of you that you can possibly be.

Today, let’s be determined to see blessings in the midst of things that seem like burdens.

It’s not my perfect performance that captures God’s attention. It’s my complete dependence on Him that He notices.

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.

Life boils down to two paths, love and fear. Which will you choose?

At one time, due to the reluctance of cult groups to allow members to dialogue with their families and professionals about their involvement (or even to allow families access to a loved one) -“involuntary deprogramming” became the choice of some families as a last resort.

The most important decision I’ve made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said, ‘Come on everybody, we made it.’ Then I had to realize we didn’t make it. I made it.

I love ‘Harry Potter’ and JK Rowling – don’t laugh at me!

Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.

I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.

I’d rather have two good friends, than 500,000 admirers.
