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

Trying to fix another person will only add to my anxiety. Letting Jesus work on me is where real progress can happen.

Instead of wishing things would change, I’m asking God for His strength to make a change.

We need to make peace with who we are so insecurities don’t become a distraction to how we live. Just because I sometimes feel insecure doesn’t mean I have to be insecure.

We need to make sure our activities and our attitudes line up with what pleases God first and foremost. Wherever we focus our attention the most will become the driving force in our lives.

Just because something is hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

We want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention.

Trusting God’s plan is the only secret I know in the gentle art of not freaking out.

Whatever has you afraid, angry, intimidated or frustrated tonight – take it to our all-powerful and all-capable God. He has the answer.

Remember, conflict doesn’t always mean we have to fight against something and tear it apart. Conflict can also mean we’re fighting for something to make it even better and stronger than it’s ever been.

Don’t put the whole of your identity into the smallness of a situation.

If I had to do it all over again? Why not, I would do it a little bit differently.

I believe young voters will either vote for Obama or not vote at all. So the problem is not Obama the problem is the system. If you think about how mess up this country is, most folk really don’t have choices.

The history of free men is never written by chance but by choice – their choice.

I don’t think I’m inherently feminist. I think the universe wants me to be a feminist, and I think I resonate with that. I think it just chose me to be this female energy, thing. And I’m very drawn to female energy, but I don’t really have any prerequisites in feminism. I just roll with it.

There are a lot of similar aspects in all the religions. The question is which side of it you hold up.
