Life sneaks up on us every once in a while and gives us something we didn't ever know we wanted, and lights within us a love we didn't even know existed.

...what I can do is offer myself, wholehearted and present, to walk with the people I love through the fear and the mess. That's all any of us can do. That's what we're here for.

Friendship is an opportunity to act on God's behalf in the lives of the people that we're close to, reminding each other who God is.

Somebody is looking at you - and someone needs to see you walk this journey of following God's calling.

There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming.

Life hands us opportunities at every turn to get over ourselves, to get outside ourselves, to wake up from our own bad dreams and realize that really lovely things are happening all the time.

When things fall apart, the broken pieces allow all sorts of things to enter, and one of them is the presence of God.

God is always present He is never absent God is aways on timeHe is never late

It's a floor cleaner and a dessert topping.

Our own heart, and not other men's opinion, forms our true honor.

I'm living my dream, and that's all you can ask for. At a certain point, you have to ignore all the rest.

The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
