If we don't control our calendar, our calendar will end up controlling us.

All of us want to do amazing things for God, but that isn't our job; it is God's job.

God is in the business of strategically positioning us in the right place at the right time. But the right place often seems like the wrong place, and the right time often seems like the wrong time.

Ultimately, your destiny is determined by your decisions. It's your actions, and reactions, that define you. So don't play the victim. Be the victor.
