you will be on your way because you will have discovered that you can always find a capable helping hand at the end of your own sleeve.

God is good, and I love Him. Right now, God is permitting a very hard thing. Why, I don't know, but I still trust Him.

I can tell the difference between the acts of a man and the acts of God. That's why I still believe. I could always tell the difference.

I know the package may not be ideal...But the 'content,' those characteristics that you're looking for, are what you want...I'm a good risk, Gina.

When you hold some part of yourself in reserve you deny it exposure to life; you repress its energy and keep it form understanding what it needs to know.
