When it comes to my life, I may chase the pay-off of the moment or I may pay-it-forward into my future. Yet, being ‘righteous’ in these choices may grant me neither so that God might grant me everything.

I don’t have all the answers. More than that, I don’t even know half the questions. But I can rest in the fact that God has both.

Fear is the result of counting on men instead of leaning on God.

My stupidity need not be the end of me, for if I surrender my stupidity to God it will in fact become the beginning of me.

Who I’ve determined I am is limited by the fact that I’m the one who’s done the determining. With that being the case, I’d be wiser to consider who God says I am.

Running from God creates the illusion that I’m actually creating space between myself and that from which I’m running. And I’m not certain that I want to run with that illusion.

I have plenty of faith, but more often than not it’s faith in the belief that faith doesn’t work.

Brilliance without prayer is like a car with four flat tires. It might be a truly fine vehicle, but it isn’t going anywhere.

I’d rather not write my own story, for in doing so I have assumed that I possess a writing ability equal to that of God. And that assumption will result in a story that is certain to have a bad ending.
