“Money is a cheap but powerful substitute for Jesus, and wielding money is intoxicating, but it won't usher in the kingdom of God, nor will it ensure eternal treasures.”

“Pain can either thrust me into the arms of Jesus or make me turn my back on Him. Either way, it's a choice.”

“It’s an act of our will to choose to see people simply as wildly loved by God, to assume their beauty before guessing their depravity.”

“Growth comes from God, to those with surrendered, yielded hearts.”

“He created us for adventure, not ease.”

“A broken person understands she needs rescue, and she depends on God to resurrect and deliver. And she also understands that even if God chooses not to deliver, His ways are higher and more amazing then what we can fathom.”

“We may not understand the pathways God lays out before us. We may not even like walking the journey. But even in failure, we can trust that He’ll do more than we expect.”

“As I look back over my mountains of growth and compare them to the molehills where I stagnated, community often made the difference.”
