“I choose my attitude. On many mornings, it can be difficult. Yet I choose to be a victor, not a victim. I choose to be better, not bitter. I select life over death. I pick blessings over brokenness. ...when I truly make my home in the presence of God Almighty -- through daily Scripture reading, prayer, and worship -- then I'm able to absolutely trust Him.”
“When we suffer great losses -- and suffering and loss are universal experiences -- something will consume our emptiness and fill the void. The question is, will it be healthy and wise or unhealthy and fleeting? I chose to be consumed by God. I found that only Christ could satisfy me....intimacy in God's presence -- fellowship with Him -- is what most healed my heart and restored my soul. It took faithful, intentional, and deliberate time every day to pray, read Scripture, worship, and wait patiently in God's presence. But every moment was worth it.”
“Every ounce of suffering has a purpose that God can use for good, if we only let Him.”
“...imperfections were God's way of demonstrating His perfection and strength in our lives and ... incredible blessings could come through periods of absolute brokenness... It was undeniable to us now that the fruit of such intense toil and heartache was even sweeter when you had to work so hard to harvest it.”
“...purging the past does not mean forgetting. It means releasing.”
“Go where the peace is.”
“God smiles on my ignorance.”
“God will always give you more than you can bear alone, because He doesn't want you to bear it without Him.”
“Death had no power over me because it had no power over Christ, and Christ lives within me. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me -- and all Christians.”
“Since the dawn of time, God has done things that baffle humanity. He still confounds me... I can't control what happened, but I can control how I respond to what happened. It wasn't about what happened to me; it was about what happened within me.”
“...when we shift our eyes from our own problems to God's kingdom and caring for others, He will take care of the rest.”
“...even if everything that happens to me isn't good, God can still bring good out of everything.”
