When we're born, the Good Lord gives each of us a Life Book. Chapter by chapter, we live and learn.

Whatever God is urging you to clear away cannot begin to be compared to what He ultimately wants to bring you.

God surpasses our dreams when we reach past our personal plans and agenda to grab the hand of Christ and walk the path he chose for us.  He is obligated to keep us dissatisfied until we come to him and his plan for complete satisfaction.

Faith is not believing in my own unshakable belief. Faith is believing an unshakable God when everything in me trembles and quakes.

I'll tell my darling the story of the determined woman in my family tree who wholeheartedly believed that we're all here by design . . . that none of us is an accident in God's eyes. Our heavenly Father's hand is at work in all of our comings and goings—and in the choice of a life mate.

God holds my tomorrows, she thought. I will be content with whatever comes my way.

Oh, before I get carried away with my news—how are you? I hope you're doing all right and not second-guessing your decision to back away from your marriage plans. Honestly, though, I've been doing some of that here, but for different reasons, of course. Well

God's will doesn't just drop into our laps when we're sittin' still. Nee, He guides us when we're walking in His steps, moving forward. That way, He can stop us or nudge us onward.

Trust in him at all times . . . pour out your heart before him.

No one's stuck anywhere unless they choose to be. The Lord God guides those who are moving forward.

God, I'm in the same studio as de Burgh! He may have stood right where I'm standing now... and just thought his mad thoughts. Like "I am brilliant."

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces people into thinking they can't lose.
