“No one escapes being hurt in this life, because unfortunately, we live in a fallen world. But please believe me when I say there's a great gift in pain.”

“Pray that God is the most important thing in your life, so much so that hurting him wold hurt you. When that happens, and your choices line up with his, it produces an amazing ripple effect of blessings--in your life, that of your family, and for the man you eventually marry.”

“Trust is not an obsession, it's an extension of love. When we truly love someone, we give them our heart to hold in their hands. And when that love is returned, that very trust is balm to our souls.”

“I'm not sure what God has in store for you but I do know one thing - it will be good. I've learned He doesn't skimp with those who have a heart for Him. After all, His Word says He honors those who honor Him.”

“Peace ... He should market it! ... He does every day. Through grateful pieces of the puzzle like you and me.”

“I was young once, you know. Truth be told, I still am. Now, if I can convince my mirror.”

“You own a piece of God's heart...like a piece of a puzzle that's missing. A piece nobody else can fill.”
