“Life's not that simple. Not so easy to move on when the anger you've got is what keeps you going.”

“Holding on to weight (i.e. anger, bitterness, the past, hatred) will not only hold you back, but also block your blessings. You've got to let some things go to move forward.”

“..You can turn the steering wheel of your life over to the Lord, asking Him to guide and direct you. It's simple but it's not easy. You've really got to want the Lord in your life, really want to change and give Him the right to tell you what to do and how to live.”

“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.”

“It's easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing -- that's the Lord's test.”
