For as he thinks in his heart, so is he" (NLV).

I can't control the things that happen to me each day, but I can control how I think about them.

I am a woman whose identity has been changed by coming face to face with the One who has the power to completely transform me.

A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child, finished and complete. A self is always becoming.

The true test of a man, the beginning of his redemption, actually starts when he can no longer rely on what he's used all his life. The real journey begins when the false self fails.

Most of what you encounter when you meet a man is a facade, an elaborate fig leaf, a brilliant disguise.

Let the world feel the weight of who you are and let them deal with it.

The real you is on the side of God against the false self. Knowing this makes all the difference in the world. The man who wants to live valiantly will lose heart quickly if he believes that his heart is nothing but sin.

There are two kinds of people in this world; the clueless and the repentant, those who are open to looking at their life, and those who are not, both that know they need God to change them, and those that expect EVERYONE else to change.

The years have simply reconciled us to the fact that we are all here for the transformation.

Life is a hypocrite if I can't live The way it moves me!
