The best of it is, God is with us.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.

The isolation of this place tightened like a vise around her throat.

The West is different than where we came from. It's a land that demands strength of people. A land that tests courage. With the muscles in our backs and the brains in our heads, we can do whatever we want out here, and I intend to accept that challenge and grow strong enough to belong in this wild and rich land.

I was also struck by how John wasn't really alone out there because he knew had God with him. My pa was a believer, but we never went near a church or talked much about faith or owned a Bible. That Bible I found was an anchor to hold on to. It reminded me God was with me in the wilderness.~ Trace

He created us for adventure, not ease.

An ounce of love can overcome a mountain of fear.

Conquer your fears before they conquer you.

Fear is impotent when you challenge it.

Fear is the greatest false prophet you will ever meet.

From the bleakest storms come the brightest rainbows.

Holding onto your dreams is better than holding onto your nightmares.
