Fervent prayer keeps your true identity in focus.

We often don’t realize that where God puts us is the very place we need to be to receive what He wants to give us.

Give your hands to Him for His work, your feet to walk His path, and your ears to hear Him speak.

We serve a God who is waiting to hear from you, and He can't wait to respond.

Today's difficulties are often a result of yesterday's disobedience.

Unity does not mean sameness. It means oneness of purpose.

What might God be trying to grow in your character or cement in your relationship with Him by keeping you separated from some of the things you want but don’t yet have?

Whatever you are holding onto in this life, hold it loosely so it won’t hurt when the Lord has to pry your fingers open to take it away.

Only God's presence can change people's lives.

When you're tired, sleep. Don't watch stupid tv or play games on your phone. Sleep, and then get up early, and do the stuff you hope you'll be known for after you die.

When you get inside go change into something loose and baggy. And for all that's holy, please wear panties and a bra.

I didn't marry to have children. I married to have a relationship, and I was blessed with one child. I was an only child, too - my mother was smarter than most women today; she just had me.

Come on, Gypsy girl. I'm bleeding to death here, in case you haven't noticed. At least make it worth my while and kiss me before I die.

Instead of command and control, managing the creative process is about facilitating and permitting.

When you're my age and you see a story, you better go for it pretty quickly. I'd just like to get a few more novels under my belt.

I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.

My mother was an English teacher before she became a full-time mom, and a huge proponent of reading, so she made sure I was an early and vigorous reader.
