“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.”

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.

My goal should never be to raise kids that make me look good. (Oh but how my flesh craves this!) My goal should be to raise kids who love God and spend their lives making His goodness known in their corner of the world.

Your children will see what you’re all about by what you live rather than what you say.

I think a child may be the only thing that could give me true happiness.

A man is never as big as when he is on his knees to help a child.

Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.

Lifetime is a child at play, moving pieces in a game. Kingship belongs to the child.

We are all born children- the trick is remaining one.

I think life experiences are different for people who know what they want as children.

It’s true what they say – the whole world stops when your child is born.
