  Favorite Scripture

Mathew 7:13-14
You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose the easy way. But the gateway to life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it.


  Quotes

Life isn't about finding out who you are, it's about creating who you will be
Tough times don't last, but tough people do
Life is a journey, not a destination
When you take yourself to a place you've never been, you find out where you really were
Everyday you make choices, what you do defines who you are
Your success is limited by nothing more than your dreams
You're always the biggest you've ever been
