Please forgive me if I don't talk much at times.  It's loud enough in my head.

At first glance it may look too hard.  Look again.  Always look again.

Two things define you:  your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything.

What if I told you that 10 years from no your life would be exactly the same?  I doubt you'd be happy.  So, why are you so afraid of change?

There's something comforting about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He's doing.

When you are feeling distance from God, ask Him to tear down the walls that you built to keep Him out.  You may not have built them intentionally, but you did build them; and now you are feeling it within your soul.  Christ never leaves us, He is always around.  We just tend to ignore Him sometimes even though His praise is always on our lips.

What I know for sure is what you give comes back to you.

The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it.  You either have to laugh or cry.  I prefer to laugh.  Crying gives me a headache.

Just because I don't react, doesn't mean I don't notice.

When thinking about life remember this:  no amount of guilt can solve the past and no amount of anxiety can change the future.

Today, instead of putting down and talking about people who fall, spend that energy being grateful God is holding your life together.  Pray for them.  Encourage them.  Be their lifeline of hope.  I have found when you're praying for someone it's hard to gossip about them.  Everyone just needs someone who cares.  A true friend.  Be that someone.  You'll be blessed in the process. 

Shooting down someone's dream by telling them to be more realistic just proves you are content with striving of mediocrity.

Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you've seen them or the amount of time since you've talked.  It's about that very moment when you're doing something and wishing they were right there with you.

I hate it when I plan my day and nobody follows the script.

Don't dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.

Old ways won't open new doors.

Some people create their own storms then get upset when it rains.

My dream job is not needing one.

How is it I detest every article of clothing I own, but when I go to throw something away, I develop this deep sentimental relationship with it?

There are no crown - wearers in Heaven who weren't Cross-bearers here below.

Two of the most powerful words I can utter in my prayer time - "change me".

If you only pray when you're in trouble, you're in trouble.

Today will never come again.  Be a blessing.  Be a friend.

When the devil keeps on asking you to look at your past, there must be something good in your future he doesn't want you to see.

My career plans were much more exciting when I was 5.

Be okay with not knowing for sure what might come next but know that whatever it is, you will be okay.

What God knows about me is more important than what others think about me.

You have to let people go.  Everyone who is in your life are meant to be in your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay until the end.

The moment you feel like you have to prove your worth to someone is the moment to absolutely and utterly walk away.

Somebody asked me if I knew you.  A million memories flashed through my mind but I just smiled and said, "I used to."

There comes a point in the work day when you know you're no longer going to be productive.  That moment for me is usually 30 minutes after I get there.

It's all about where you run to fill yourself up when you're empty.

You can't let people scare you.  You can't go your whole life trying to please everyone else.  You can't go through life worried about what everyone else is going to think.  Whether it's your hair, clothes, what you have to say, how you feel, what you believe and what you have.  You can't let the judgement of others stop you from being you.  Because, if you do, you're no longer you.  You're someone everyone else wants you to be.

You can't force a person to show you respect.  But, you can refuse to be disrespected.

Do it now.  Sometimes later become never.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

Drama does not just walk into your life.  Either you create it, invite it or associate with it.

I see you're upset.  Maybe you should post more about it on Facebook.  That should help eliminate any drama.

Look, sometimes I just want to be in a bad mood.

A moment of patience in a moment of anger saves you a hundred moments of regret.

The biggest lie I tell myself is, "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."

Manners cost nothing.

I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a super power.

Grace is a love that has nothing to do with us but everything to do with the one from whom it derived: God.  It is a powerful, divine, and vital piece of our existence, and it is the only reason we are able to open our eyes each morning.  God's grace is more than a second chance; it's a third, fourth and fifth.  It's a love that keeps on giving, regardless of our past.

If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.

You must realize if they gossip about everyone else to you, then they are gossiping about you too.

Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right.

Be with a man who promises to give you laugh lines when you're old.  Who tells you he's proud of you on a daily basis.  Who puts your happiness on the same level as his.  Who uses positive words when describing your relationship.  Who uses when, not if, when talking about his future and how you fit in it.

Prayer is the bridge between panic and peace.
