Just because something is hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Remember, the Devil loves to make us focus on the little that's wrong so we miss the big picture of all that's right.

You have the exact qualities God knew your kids would need in a mother. Each day, hold up your willingness and ask God to make you the best version of you that you can possibly be.

You've never gone too far that God can't redeem you, restore you, forgive you, and give you a second chance.

God is mighty. God is caring. God is worthy of praise. God is loving. God is able. God is in control. Nothing takes God by surprise. Some sweet reminders to soak in before falling asleep tonight.

Today, let's be determined to see blessings in the midst of things that seem like burdens.

Sometimes it's the words we choose not to say that speak most loudly about our character.

Scars are beautiful when we see them as glorious reminders that we courageously survived.

When to give grace? I'd rather stand before God knowing I loved others too much rather than regretting that I judged too harshly.

We live in a broken world full of broken people. But isn’t it comforting to know God isn’t ever broken? He isn’t ever caught off guard, taken by surprise, or shocked by what happens next.

Don't let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.

The truth about life will change this world into heaven and you into an immortal spiritual being.

A wave of saudade swept over me as I realized home never existed at all. The concept of home felt far from my reach, and I felt sick with longing.

I am extraordinarily lucky, I was born in a family of strong moral values, and in my life I was able to do what I liked best: debuts, great theatres, but above all, inner and deep satisfaction.

Finishing books - and leaving the world you've created - is always a kind of emotionally wrenching experience. I usually cry.

I always start from scratch with a character - they're never based on anyone else. You get ideas of what people look like, and I'm a great people watcher. You can draw inspiration from people.

I explained to the lady my love for John and his work, and she made it possible for me to purchase one of the 24 proofs, the one for 'I'm So Tired,' which I have on my piano at home.

My books don't seem to belong to me after I have once written them; and I find myself delivering opinions about them as if I had nothing to do with them.

The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the more their support will evaporate.

I always had a weight issue since I was a young kid.

All faith consists essentially in the recognition of a world of spiritual values behind, yet not apart from, the world of natural phenomena.
