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.
LYSA TERKEURSTI 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.

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