No ifs, ands, or buts!

"Making excuses is always a waste of time because God is completely aware of who we are and what we can and cannot do. When God calls us, He not only equips us but empowers us to obey that calling." -Mary Southerland

His Peace

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful" (Colossians 3:15).

Don't give up...

"When your mind says give up, hope whispers one more try."

The Missionary Heart

"The missionary heart: Care more than some think is wise. Risk more than some think is safe. Dream more than some think is practical. Expect more than some think is possible. I was called not to comfort or success but to obedience….There is no joy outside of knowing Jesus and serving him."


- Karen Watson, martyr, March 15, 2004

Don't be discouraged!

2 Corinthians 4:16-"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."

Seeing the good in the bad...

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.


Gilbert K. Chesterton

Love and give...

"You can give without loving. But you cannot love without giving." - Amy Carmichael
