“Obstacles are placed in our path to determine whether we really wanted something or just thought we did." Dr. Harold Smith”

“We all take a different path to the same place. Why we took the path we did will always be a mystery.”

“Once we determine in our souls that God’s glory is our goal, we then stop taking the path of least resistance and start taking the path of most glory to God”

“we must follow our own path, and sometimes that path can be laden with bumps and curves and rivers to cross. but we cannot block the paths of our neighbors, for that is not our place. we can only seek to groom and shape our own.”

“We are not exceptional in our beginnings, we become exceptional by refusing to accept the obstacles which destiny has placed before us.”

“All of us remember the home of our childhood. Interestingly, our thoughts do not dwell on whether the house was large or small, the neighborhood fashionable or downtrodden. Rather, we delight in the experiences we shared as a family. The home is the laboratory of our lives, and what we learn there largely determines what we do when we leave there.”
