Trusting God’s plan is the only secret I know in the gentle art of not freaking out.
Remember who you are. Don’t compromise for anyone, for any reason. You are a child of the Almighty God. Live that truth.
Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head, and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart. The degree to which you do either of these things is the degree to which you’ll be ruled by what other people think of you.

God has challenged me to grow in my knowledge of Him but I have to CHOOSE whether or not to display this growth through my actions.
The only way our faith will ever strengthen is for us to use it. We need to apply thought and prayer to our decisions and then trust God for the outcome. We need to set our sights on growing in faith, not shrinking back for fear of failure.
Feelings should be indicators, not dictators.
Saying yes all the time won’t make me Wonder Woman. It will make me a worn out woman.
Don’t allow the unrealistic demands of others to march freely into your life.

So often, we want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention. But we need to leave enough space in our days to get up from our prayers and actually look for God in the moment-to-moment things that happen.
We aren’t supposed to strive for perfection everyday. If we were perfect, we’d have no need for Jesus. And it’s through our imperfections that we really feel the pull toward our need for a Savior. So the imperfections serve a wonderful purpose if we’ll let them.
