“God's plan is usually pretty great. It is a whole lot better than mine anyway. I am so glad that He does not allow me to win.”

“People from my first home say I'm brave. They tell me I'm strong. They pat me on the back and say, 'Way to go. Good job.' But the truth is, I am not really very brave; I am not really very strong; and I am not doing anything spectacular. I am simply doing what God has called me to do as a person who follows Him. He said to feed His sheep and He said to care for 'the least of these,' so that's what I'm doing, with the help of a lot people who make it possible and in the company of those who make my life worth living”

“I am blown away that my God, who could do this all by Himself, would choose to let me be a little part of it.”

“The place God calls us to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.”

“We are not called to be safe, we are simply promised that when we are in danger, God is right there with us. And there is no better place to be than in His hands.”

“Thankfully, God's plans do not seem to be affected much by my own.”

“I'm running from things that can destroy my soul... I am much more terrified of living in a self-serving society and failing to follow Jesus than I am of any illness or tragedy.”
