His Plans
When [our plans] are interrupted, His are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always (including those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or wasted or unendurable). - Elisabeth Elliot
Embrace
Occasionally, weep deeply over the life that you hoped would be. Grieve the losses. Feel the pain. Then wash your face, trust God, and embrace the life that He's given you. - John Piper
Preventing
Sometimes God's power is shown as much in preventing things as it is in making them happen. - Lysa TerKeurst
Leaning on Jesus
Earth has no words to convey the holy calm of a soul leaning on Jesus. - Charles H. Spurgeon
Talent
Talent doesn't justify putting on airs. Any ability we have comes from God, and our recognition of it should make us humble, not arrogant. That's the mistake so many scientists make when they think they have created what God has given them the privilege to discover. - Joseph E. Girzone, Joshua: A Parable for Today
Perspective
When we spend time with our Creator, we begin to see differently. We don't just gain a new perspective - we start to see through His perspective. - Tim Tebow
Feel
They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. - Carol Buchner
Near & Working
God, help me see You in the in-between. In the waiting, the wondering, and the quiet parts of my days. When my routines feel ordinary or my heart feels restless, remind me that You are near and working even here. Teach me to find joy in Your presence, to be faithful in the small things, and to follow You today - even when I can't yet see what You're doing. Amen. - Proverbs 31 Ministries
Positive Intent
Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent. You will be amazed at how your whole approach to a person or problem becomes very different. - Indra Nooyi
Movement
Children move because movement gives them a tremendous lift, a sense of freedom, exhilaration akin to flying high above the waters, above the clouds, above the earth and into the sky. - William M. Logan and Virgil G. Logan
Reading at Night
I love reading at night the most. The world around me is asleep, sounds of the day have quieted, and I am alone with my book. In those moments, I can fully leave behind this quiet night as another world comes to life in my hands. - Author Unknown
Sitting Down
It is by sitting down to write every morning that one becomes a writer. - Gerald Brenan
Walking with Jesus
The closer and more consistently we walk with Jesus, the less overwhelming the mountain ahead of us will feel. - Tara Sun
Said or Unsaid
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. - Benjamin Franklin
Sense of Wonder
If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. - Rachel Carson
Hurt
Lord, thank you for the opportunity to trust you with this hurt that I do not understand. - Heather Thompson Day
Ordinary Things
But sometimes, when you take two ordinary things and put them together at the same time and in the same place, there's nothing ordinary about them at all. - E. B. White, Charlotte's Web
Learning
If the purpose for learning is to score well on a test, we've lost sight of the real reason for learning. - Jeannie Fulbert
God's Goodness
Acceptance is resting in God's goodness, believing that He has all things under His control. - Charles Swindoll
Unsolicited Advice
When people are struggling, don't give unsolicited advice. Instead, tell them they won't go through it alone - and show up for them. - Adam Grant
Creator
As far as your eye can see upward and as far as your eyes can see down to the very ground that you're walking on, everything is cared for by the Creator. - Ruth Chou Simons
