"Being broken open by the storm is your only hope."

"Take the matter as you find it ask no questions, utter no remonstrances; it is your best wisdom. You expected bread and you have got a stone: break your teeth on it, and don't shriek because the nerves are martyrised; do not doubt that your mental stomach - if you have such a thing - is strong as an ostrich's; the stone will digest. You held out your hand for an egg, and fate put into it a scorpion. Show no consternation; close your fingers firmly upon the gift; let it sting through your palm. Never mind; in time, after your hand and arm have swelled and quivered long with torture, the squeezed scorpion will die, and you will have learned the great lesson how to endure without a sob."

"Delayed gratification is to have a strong faith in the laws of nature and the principles of God."

"You must endure willingly for the fulfillment dreams."

"Life demands discomfort and pain."

"A little thought thought over and over becomes the thought that changes everything. Always choose to believe the best about yourself."

"Jesus took care of himself. He ate healthy food. He rested when he was weary. He sought time alone when he needed to recharge. He laughed with his friends. He wept when he was sad. He walked long distances and climbed hills and moved. From barren wilderness to unpredictable waters, he spent the majority of his time outside in nature. He loved wholeheartedly. He served others. He cooked. He studied and learned and grew in wisdom. Jesus cared for himself physically, mentally and spiritually. To be aligned with him, we must do no less."

"Intuition is a woman's gift that comes packaged in responsibility. If we don't change the world for good, who will?"

"It is not enough just to believe in Christ. We have to believe that He believes in us so we can believe in ourselves. That's a sentence that deserves a re-read."
