Cheers for spring; for life; for a growing soul.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.

Rest in the knowledge that God is both abundantly gracious and ridiculously generous.

I am a song bird, I am a meek song bird, I offer my prayer to the Lord.

Love the whole world as if it were your self; then you will truly care for all things.

I have not been sent to curse people, but as a mercy to all mankind.

If you sell what you do, you're a vendor. If you sell why you do it, you're a brand.

Now I am past all comforts here, but prayer.
