"Never settle on a life you don't want when God is trying to give you a better life."

"Be honest with who you are, what you want and how you want to be treated. Boundaries only scare off the people that were not meant to be in your life."

"Truth is never a straight line; it is a circle that will take you back to what you know, in order to challenge your belief in what is fair, what is real, what is forgiveable, what is not and what type of person will you become today now that you know."

"Bitter people are not interested in what you say, but what you hide."

"When you have the courage to follow your talents into the dark unknown places they lead, often God will send angels to light your way."

"You are not your past. You are the warrior that rose above it to become the example of someone who didn't survive, but thrived in creating the most beautiful last chapter of their life."

"Don't look for the ninety percent of the darkness in a person's soul. Look for the ten percent of light they have left, then lend them yours because light was meant to be shared."

"If you are reading this then you have wasted another day of your life day dreaming, rather than planning the life God intended you to live."

"God's justice is always perfect."

"I don't understand women that call themselves a "bitch". It doesn't empower a woman. Rather, it reveals to everyone that you were deeply hurt at one time. Because of the pain your still carrying, you will continue to hurt anyone that reminds you of those moments when you let your guard down and were fooled. Sadly, it sends a clear message to the observant that you are still hurt. If only women would realize that "we all" have moments of stupidity then they would stop comparing themselves to the masses."

"The problem isn't that I think so highly of myself. It is just that you think so little of yourself. Live life BIG, BOLD and OUT LOUD!"

"Sometimes the silence of your friends is worse than your enemy's words."

"A wise woman knows when to stay silent. However, a wiser woman of faith knows that sometimes words can win the battle, when all odds stand against her."

"How you correct your mistakes will define your character and commitment to a higher power."

"Don't ever let someone tell you the value you don't have, in order to be in someone's life. That is often the value they feel you have, not that person."

"Sometimes, we are unable to break free because we are held captive by divine assignment because in our problem God has given us a unique purpose."

"The more you talk about it, rehash it, rethink it, cross analyze it, debate it, respond to it, get paranoid about it, compete with it, complain about it, immortalize it, cry over it, kick it, defame it, stalk it, gossip about it, pray over it, put it down or dissect its motives it continues to rot in your brain. It is dead. It is over. It is gone. It is done. It is time to bury it because it is smelling up your life and no one wants to be near your rotted corpse of memories and decaying attitude. Be the funeral director of your life and bury that thing!"

"The most introspective of souls are often those that have been hurt the most."

"People that don't move will never notice the chains they carry."

"Worry does not keep it from raining tomorrow, but it does keep it from being sunny today."

"Staying for your children is noble. However, staying with someone that teaches your children that "selective" evilness is okay is mental illness."

"Maybe, if you can't get someone out of your head they were never meant to leave. Perhaps, they were meant to help change you into the person you have been waiting to become."

"Courage is God's way of testing the virtues you profess to have and your level of commitment to everything you think you are."

"Some people need significance more than they need another person. Change will only happen in a relationship when you realize it is not the person, but the "emotion" you desire."

"If you hold onto a man hoping someone else won't get them you have learned how to be desperate, not wise."

"You are not what others think you are. You are what God knows you are."

"Some will wear masks their entire life because they care about what other people think, while others remove the mask to be who they truly are. The difference between the two is not the ability to trust others, but to trust in God."

"When you meet a dark angel don't you ever for one minute believe they are bad because they have faced the worst demons and lived to guide you through yours. It really isn't an easy job they have been asked to do, but then neither was standing on the front line during the war in heaven."

"Gratitude can't grow love higher than regret."

"God cannot remove the burdens of your heart, but he will prompt you where to go, what to say and what to do, in order to free yourself from your chains."

"See it for what it is and own it, rather than rethink it so you don't have to deal with the trauma of the abuse. This is the only way to move on--through acceptance."

"You can have regret from yesterday, fear tomorrow, but peace today by sharing your heart's deepest feelings. A life spent being fearful of showing your soul is a life not worth living."

"The problem with our culture is we cling to so many different truths. Yet, the truths that we cling to also depend on our point of view. Maybe, the journey to a truth that can be free of hatred, bias and injustice requires a journey of the soul to see all view points."

"Arrogance is someone claiming to have come to Christ, but they won't spend more than five minutes listening to your journey because they are more concerned about their own well being, rather than being a true disciple of Christ. Blessed is the person that takes the time to heal and hear another person so they can move on."

"Sometimes, you will go through awful trials in your life and then a miracle happens--God heals you. Don't be disheartened when the people you love don't see things like you do. There will be Pharisees in your life that will laugh it off, deny that it happened, or will mock your experience based on righteousness they think you don't possess. God won't deny you a spiritual experience because you are not a spiritual leader. He loves everyone equal. The only people that really matter in life are the people that can "see" your heart and rejoice with you."

"When you can't reach the standards of another's heart you must ask yourself, "What value do I put on my soul that I would subject myself to such rejection?"

"Unrequited love is the only emotion that allows sane people to taste the "life sentence" of someone with bipolar disorder. The longer they hang onto a lost cause the more unstable they look to everyone else. They contradict their own belief systems and statements, by circling the drain with two competing emotions-love and hate."

"In the end, what will you fight for-- what got there first, what got there last or what has been there all along?"

"Right person, wrong timing doesn't mean God was wrong. It means you were there at the right time to fulfill something else. Look for it."

"The only way you will ever be free is when you decide you have had enough of living up to the standards other people force upon you through shame. Never wear their chains of judgment when they can't break free of their own."

"Regardless of your faith, you can never escape uncertainty."

"Marriage is the beginning of love for your spouse, not the result of it."

"Sometimes, it will never make sense until you find the right path that makes sense to you and no one else."

"You can make heaven out of hell, or hell out of heaven. The choice is yours."

"Confident women know the difference between being a meal ticket and being the meal."

"Sometimes your belief system is really your fears attached to rules."

"Peace can only be found in what your extraordinary imagination has defined as an ordinary life."

"The best kind of happiness is a habit you're passionate about."

"As much as we don't want to except it, there is a time limit to the best life God tries to offer you. When you disrespect it, push it away, play games with it, deny it, ignore it, are casually indecisive about it or hold it like a last resort, God gives it away to someone else that will cherish it more."

"The mind knows the truth when your heart denies what it feels. When you don't feel safe to let people in it is because you're not ready to deal with the pain of honesty."
