People in tough times - it doesn't mean they don't have a great attitude.

I DECLARE that God has a great plan for my life. He is directing my steps. And even though I may not always understand how, I know my situation is not a surprise to God. He will work out every detail to my advantage. In His perfect timing, everything will turn out right. This is my declaration.

Isn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.

The truth is we all get tired, we all get weary. In fact, if you never feel like giving up, then your dreams are too small. If you never feel like quitting, then you need to set some larger goals. When that pressure comes to get discouraged and to think about how you can’t take it anymore, that is completely normal. Every person feels that way at times.

God didn't make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.

God loves to use ordinary people just like you and me, faults and all, to do extraordinary things.

I've always been - you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I'm just being who God made me to be.

Be careful what you say. You can say something hurtful in ten seconds, but ten years later, the wounds are still there.

God made you a masterpiece - be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.
