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.
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.
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 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.

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.
