“God loves to take people from broken backgrounds and surprise them with possibilities.”

Don’t let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.

Truth is the only healthy place from which to speak. Assumption is the birthplace of godless chatter.

Satan has no power over us except what we allow. Moment by moment, decision by decision, step by step – will we operate in God’s all powerful Truth or allow Satan to entangle us in his lies?

I was made for more than being stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat. I am not made to be a victim of my poor choices. I was made to be a victorious child of God.

Praying helps me see perspectives otherwise beyond me.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart.

I so desperately want my words to be indicative of how deeply and completely I love my people.

No person, possession, profession, or position ever fills the cup of a wounded, empty heart. It’s an emptiness only God can fill.

Great love isn’t two people finding the perfect match in one another. Great love is two people making the choice to be a match.

There is power in simply speaking the name Jesus.

At the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things. Anything else leads to confusion, emotional exhaustion and a lack of good things.

Prayer does make a difference-a life-changing, mind-blowing, earth-rattling difference.

Jesus, I don’t want to be a secret keeper with my faith. I want to be a bold and gracious truth proclaimer. For You. With You. Because of You. Me, the unwanted girl whom You loved, redeemed and wanted.

My imperfections will never override God’s promises. God’s promises are not dependent on my ability to always choose well, but rather on His ability to use well.

Wise women tuck Godly wisdom into the words they speak and even more into the words they choose not to speak.

If you are a woman who honors God right where you are, you are in ministry.

This heaviness is too much for one soul.

I didn’t love you to seek revenge. I didn’t love you out of loneliness or unhappiness. I didn’t love you for any of the misguided reasons that time might convince you I did. I just loved you because you’re you.

It’s times like this when it’s over a year later and I’m still crying over you that I want to turn to you and say: See – This is why I asked you never to kiss me.

My heart’s been empty since you left – but still I refuse to put up a vacancy sign. I’m just not ready for anybody else to move in yet.

It’s funny how we say a person ‘made’ us when they actually broke us. Sort of like how I say ‘funny’ – but I actually mean sad.

All I’ve ever wanted was a little of your time and a lot of your love.

It’s noon and I miss you just as much as I will by midnight.

He was both everything I could ever want… And nothing I could ever have.
