Jesus has won my heart. Foster kids have too. Running is my art. Here are my words, from me to you.

And I'm Reminded...

How many a man has thrown up his hands when a little more time, a little more effort would have achieved success?
The process of struggle develops your character, strength, and your mind. 
Customer Service is not a department. It's an attitude. 
If you want to know the true character of a person, then watch how they treat people who can do nothing for them- or better yet, watch how they treat their enemies. That will show you their true character.
If your faith isn't changing you, it hasn't saved you. 
If God is anything, then He must be everything. And unless He is everything, He is nothing. 
Dying to self means that you turn the other cheek when someone attacks you and that you do all you can to live in peace, even if it means getting the raw end of the deal. 
You get what you're looking for.
If you keep doing what you've done, you'll keep getting what you've got. Is that good enough?
It is doubtful that God can use anyone greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
"I don't like to think of you as needing to have 'things' pleasant around you when you have God within you. Surely He is enough to content any soul. 
If He is not enough here, how will it be in the future life when we have only Him Himself?"
-Hannah Whitall Smith
