"If your happiness depends on your happenings, then you won't be too happy, now will you?"
"Anxiety is nothing but repeatedly ...Expand for more
re-experiencing failure in advance. What a waste." Seth Godin
"What makes the temptation of power so seemingly irresistible? Maybe it is that power offers an easy substitute for the hard task of love. It seems easier to be God than to love God, easier to control people than to love people, easier to own life than to love life." - Henri Nouwen, In the Name of Jesus, 1989
"We often confuse unconditional love with unconditional approval. God loves us without conditions but does not approve of every human behavior. God doesnât approve of betrayal, violence, hatred, suspicion, and all other expressions of evil, because they all contradict the love God wants to instill in the human heart. Evil is the absence of Godâs love." - Henri Nouwen, Bread For the Journey, 1996
â"The freest person in the world is one with an open heart, a broken spirit, and a new direction in which to travel." -G. MacDonald
"There is beauty that comes from pain, if you stop protecting it long enough to let God close enough to heal you and use it for His Glory." Christi Armstrong
(thanks to Debbie Smith for this quote)".
