Mom used to quote Isaiah 64: about waiting on the Lord. It doesn’t mean being complacent. It means understanding that he has a plan, and that we’re not the ones in control. In the meantime, we need to strive to use our gifts and abilities fully.
You can’t lose confidence in yourself, or you’ve lost already. When you get knocked down, you’ve got to keep getting back up.
I’m not perfect. I’m never going to be. And that’s the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith, is you’re trying to get better every day. You’re trying to improve.
Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your burdens.
Don’t be normal. Be an example.
