”Admitting we are not God—not in control, not running anything, not responsible for everyone’s well-being, not the solution for everything and everyone, not at the center of all things—doesn’t belittle us; it frees us.” Louie Giglio
"I mean, that's life. Life is never predictable. Life is never really manageable. If your mindset is always, "I'm just surviving," it seems to me that would be your mindset for the rest of your life. You'd just get stuck in it. So I finally flipped the switch in my mind. I said, "I have to choose to THRIVE, even in the pain. Even when it's tough." - Joanna Gaines
"You do have a calling, a unique and wondrous calling from God every day of your life. Today it could be in your local laundromat, tomorrow it could be a phone conversation with a friend. Whatever it is, wherever it is, you were created to participate in God's divine activity." - Lysa TerKeurst
“Hoping doesn’t mean we ignore reality. No, hoping means we acknowledge reality in the very same breath that we acknowledge God’s sovereignty. Our hope can’t be tied to whether or not a circumstance or another person changes. Our hope must be tied to the unchanging promise of God. We hope for the good we know God will ultimately bring from our situation, whether the good turns out to match our desires or not. And sometimes that takes a while. The process will most likely require us to be persevering. Patient. Maybe even longsuffering.” - Lysa TerKeurst
“O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.... Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” Psalms 139:1-3, 23-24 NLT
