A mentor once told me: "Every time you ignore something small, you teach yourself it’s okay to be average. And no one ever dreamed of being average?”-BBurge

Helen Roseveare, a missionary who faced intense suffering and persecution during her 20 years of service in the Congo, shares one of the times that she saw God answer prayer in a most unexpected way: "I went to have prayers with our orphanage children as I did every day, and any of the children wanted gathered around me for prayer time, and I'd give them different things to pray about. And this particular day, I told the children of this tiny baby and asked them to pray for the nurses that they would stay awake all night to keep that baby warm. If the baby got cold, it would die. I mentioned that the baby had a 2-year-old sister who was crying because her mommy had died. I mentioned the burst hot water bottle. During prayer time, different children prayed for different things, and then one little 10-year-old girl, Ruth, she prayed in the usual blunt way of our African children, 'Please, God, send us a hot water bottle. Now, God, it'll be no good tomorrow. Send it this afternoon. Now, if it comes tomorrow, the baby will be dead.' I'm sort of swallowing hard, and she said, 'While you're about it, God, would you send a dolly for the little 2-year-old sister, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?' And that afternoon, the parcel came. It was the first parcel I ever, I've been out there four years, I'd never had a parcel from home. And despite the fact I live on the equator, somebody packing that parcel had been prompted by God to put in a hot water bottle, and a child from my Bible class at home had put in a dolly for a little girl. And it came that afternoon in answer to a 10 year-old child's prayer, and the amazing thing was, you know, that parcel had been on the way five months to get to us. It had left England in July, and it came that afternoon, cause a child prayed."

Not everyone who says “I’ve got your back” means it—they’re just looking for the best place to stick the knife-Brad Lea

It’s all about Jesus.

My greatest fear is lying on my deathbed and thinking "I could've been great" It scares the shit out of me. But you've got a choice: You can either conform to mediocrity & do the same as everyone else. Or you can do everything you can to build your life into something great.

God has a plan for your life and a purpose for you to fulfill. He will complete what He has planted in your heart. He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

Put your trust in the Lord. You're going to shake this world. Enjoy the journey!

You can tame a wild duck, but you can NEVER make him wild again. Don’t allow religion + tradition + culture to domesticate you. Jesus will transform you not domesticate you?

You have to be willing to lose some people when you decide to change! Some people will go so far, and no farther. But keep growing + changing. Remember: There is no finish line to growth!

The people who truly care will always find a way back into your life.

When you’re nervous about stepping outside of your comfort zone, remind yourself: “It feels scary because it’s unfamiliar, not because i’m incapable!”

Hear me! The church of Jesus Christ is not a retirement center for spiritual fat cats. It's a recruiting center for the army of the living God! We are at war with prince of darkness!

We need Servant Leaders like this! In North Macedonia, an 11 yr old girl with Down syndrome was bullied by classmates and removed from class when other kid’s parents complained about her. So the nation's President traveled to her city and personally escorted her to school!

The duty of a leader is to serve their people, not for the people to serve them

God blesses your consistency of quality character. 1 Cor.15:58
