“Use what talents your possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.” Henry Van Dyke

“Wonder interprets life through the eyes of eternity, while enjoying the moment.” ~ Ravi Zacharias

“Grown ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is exhausting for children to have to provide explanations over and over again.” ~ Antoine De Saint-Exupery

“Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision.  Visions don’t change, they are only refined.  Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed.  Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.”  ~ John C. Maxwell

“May you refuse to let your emotions dictate your perspective.  You have Jesus.  You have His presence.  And you have His promises!  When what your eyes see is different than what your heart deeply desires, look up and pray, He invites you to walk with Him, talk with Him and involve Him in every detail of your life.  If you’re in the ‘not yet’ season, take time to worship God because He’s God; take time to thank Him too, because He’s been good.  And dare to ask for the impossible, because He’s a wonder-working God.  Your story is not over yet!” ~ Susie Larson

“Rest is the conversation between what we love to do and how we love to be.  Rest is not stasis but the essence of giving and receiving.  Rest is an act of remembering, imaginatively and intellectually, but also physiologically and physically.  To rest is to become present in a different way than through action, and especially to give up on the will as the prime motivator of endeavor, with its endless outward need to reward itself through established goals.  To rest is to give up on worrying and fretting and the sense that there is something wrong with the world unless we put it right; to rest is to fall back, literally or figuratively from outer targets, not even to a sense of inner accomplishment or an imagined state of attained stillness, but to a different kind of meeting place, a living, breathing state of natural exchange…”  ~ David Whyte

“You have made us for Yourself, and our souls are restless till they find their rest in You.” ~ Augustine

“Relying on God has to begin all over again everyday as if nothing had yet been done.” ~ C.S. Lewis
