There’s not a single fear, thought, feeling or need that’s too big or too small for Jesus. He wants you to tell Him what’s on your heart.
I will walk by faith, even when I cannot see.
When God is leading and directing, you don’t have to kick the doors open.
When you’re reading the Word of God, you need to let it soak in and let God speak to your heart and let the Holy Spirit work.
Even when I don’t see, I still believe.
If you stay in the word of God then you’ll get a fresh leading of new things to share. I share my testimony of what God has done, but there’s certain things that when I slip into the Word and let God speak to me through His Word and it’s a fresh thing for me to share.
I don’t Twitter every day. I just think we should be more thoughtful with what we share. I don’t care that you’re turning a light on right now. That’s great and all, but there’s got to be a balance there.

I love writing, singing, and playing songs that He gives me to share, but whatever He has for me in five or ten years, I want to be willing to step into it. I never want to hold so tightly to my vocation that I lose out on His higher plan.
I felt myself becoming angry too easily. I once saw a couple at a restaurant, and I could tell from their mannerisms that they were having some type of disagreement. I got mad at the guy and wanted to tell him, “Come on – appreciate your wife!
I struggled with insecurity because I was trying to find my security in things. But when I began serving God with all my heart, my security was in Him.
I ate so many Ramen noodles that I wouldn’t even touch a package of them now.
Joy comes from having a relationship with the unchanging God and transcends any trial we can face on this earth.
How my emotions starred as I played! During one of this tug-of-war contest between knowing right and doing wrong, I wrote the words to a song on my own for the first time.
Life is hard, but God is good.
