I choose my attitude. On many mornings, it can be difficult. Yet I choose to be a victor, not a victim. I choose to be better, not bitter. I select life over death. I pick blessings over brokenness. ...when I truly make my home in the presence of God Almighty -- through daily Scripture reading, prayer, and worship -- then I'm able to absolutely trust Him.

Every ounce of suffering has a purpose that God can use for good, if we only let Him.

...even if everything that happens to me isn't good, God can still bring good out of everything.

God will always give you more than you can bear alone, because He doesn't want you to bear it without Him.

...when we shift our eyes from our own problems to God's kingdom and caring for others, He will take care of the rest.

...imperfections were God's way of demonstrating His perfection and strength in our lives and ... incredible blessings could come through periods of absolute brokenness... It was undeniable to us now that the fruit of such intense toil and heartache was even sweeter when you had to work so hard to harvest it.
