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.

Dear Lord, forgive me for all of the times I’ve compared myself to others. I know that You have hand-picked all of my qualities. Help me to see these things as beautiful reminders of Your great love in creating me as Your daughter. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head, and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart. The degree to which you do either of these things is the degree to which you’ll be ruled by what other people think of you.

The best way to avoid a hangover is to stay drunk.

Sometimes you don’t play up to the mark, and you win even then.

If you’re doing your best, you won’t have any time to worry about failure.

No matter what you study, the thing that you know best is what you grew up with.

If your best efforts bring less than desirable results because your mental health is suffering, I hope you know you are still worthy and doing all that you can. You deserve to applaud yourself.
