As women, we're nurturers by nature. We want to make sure everyone is happy. That's a good thing, but we also have to put ourselves on that happiness list.

There are a lot of times that we feel like our hands are tied - 'I have no control over if I'm going to lose my job.' 'I have no control over if I'm going to be able to pay my bills.' You've got to realize that that's where your trust comes in. You have to trust God, and keep your hope, because your hope is what produces your faith.

Let me encourage you, if someone has wronged you, and you still get that cringing feeling on the inside when you see or think about that person, take it to God and allow Him to keep your heart soft and sensitive.

Fear is the thief of opportunity! God hasn’t given you a spirit of fear, but He’s given you power, love and a sound mind. Be bold because He is with you!

It’s so important that we set the tone for the day. We have to resist the temptation to start off worried, thinking about what’s wrong and all we have to accomplish. Start the day in faith, casting your worries on the Lord, trusting that He’s guiding and directing your steps.

We only have a certain amount of energy for each day. If we use it for the wrong purpose, if we focus on the negative or dwell on whoever hurt us, then we’re not going to have the energy we need for the right purposes.

The pressure you are facing is not going to break you. It’s going to make you.

when you don't look at the good things around you, that you lose sight of all those good things. And you're not going to enjoy your life

We all have circumstances and times when we may be tempted to complain, but find something to be grateful for instead. Studies show that people who practice gratefulness are happier people!

Sometimes God Presents Opportunities That Look Insignificant Or Rather Ordinary. Perhaps You Don't See How They Fit Into The Big Picture For Your Life. But If God Is Asking You To Do Something, He Has A Purpose For It.
