Priorities

"Prayer is the process by which God helps us rearrange our priorities."

- Henry Blackaby, Hearing God's Voice, p.114.

Alive?

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

- Gil Bailie

Reality

"Don't complain about the way God answers your prayers. You are still living on an earth that is run by the devil. God has promised us a new land and we will get there. Your problem is not that God is not fulfilling, your problem is that you are spoiled."

- Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz, p.92

Simple Things

It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how GOD does things.

- Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz, p.217

Renunciation

"There is one thing we can be sure of, that every vocation is always accompanied by a renunciation."

- Lauren Winner, Real Sex: The Naked Truth About Chastity, p. 140

Modern Wisdom

"Suck it up and walk with God."

Calling

"For the moment let me say simply that calling is the truth that God calls us to
himself so decisively that everything we are, everything we do, and
everything we have is invested with a special devotion and dynamism lived
out as a response to his summons and service."

- Os Guiness, The Call, p.4
