"Sometimes I pretend to be normal but it gets boring, so I go back to being me."-Unknown

"Now, when someone acts all pious and serious, and treats my uniqueness and appreciation for life as though it is something abnormal, it only shows me that there's something not right about them. They just don't get it."-Doris Little 

"I have come across people who say, 'You are so youthful.' Or, they say, 'You are like a kid.' And, it is said with the intent of making me think there is something wrong with me. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm enjoying my life, and I'm having a lot of fun along the way. I came to the conclusion that I want my life full of fun, laughter, and child-like silliness... because, when the storms of life blow... I want the fun and wonder to override the storm and the effects of the storm, so I don't drown."-Doris Little 

"This is the thing about life I've never really understood until now: we try so hard to control it, but bad things happen anyway. The only real control is an anti-control, a letting go."-R. A. Nelson

"When you demand that situations, conditions, places or people make you happy, you suffer when they don't live up to your expectations. In essence, you create your own suffering."-Kimberly Bady

"Sometimes all we need is a shift in perception to realize our problems are not that bad."-Kimberly Bady

"I don’t care what your calendar says...You cannot have a New Year, if you got an old mind. Now, you can blow whistles, you can go out and celebrate, you can do whatever you want to do; but, you will never have a New Year, as long as you walk in an old mind."-TDJ

 

 

"I give You all the honor and the praise... not through no goodness of my own; but, Thank You God for all that You’ve done for me. You made ways where I couldn’t even see a way. When I was standing in front of a solid wall, You cut a door in it and let me slip through it... and, I don’t know how you feel, but I feel like... if nobody in the whole room would give God the praise... I’m obligated to give Him the praise for all He’s done."-TDJ

 

"Many men say they are no longer in love with their wives, but what is really going on is that they are no longer in love with their lives."-BLM

 

 

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles."-Audrey Hepburn

"Do not allow another person's view of you control the way you see yourself. That's too much power to give to another human being. If people don't have the ability to discern the treasures inside you, that's their problem. But, if you wallow in self pity because they have no discernment, then it becomes your problem."-TDJ

"Part of the assumption is that you must be miserable, because most people don’t view singleness as a good gift from God. While many singles aren’t happy with their singleness, often their families are even less happy. But it is important to remember that singles are single because God has determined it to be this way. He’s either not brought someone into their lives or He’s kept the relationship with that last boyfriend from working out. This is HIS PLAN! It is not a mistake. It is not a punishment. He is good, and His plan is good, and your time of singleness is also good."-Mary Kassian

"Let it go - that thing that you think makes you, YOU - that thing that you think you can't live without. If it doesn't bring you to a more intimate place with Jesus - let it go, beloved. The closer you get to Jesus, the more of your true self you'll find. Think about it; He made you, so He's the only one Who can show you how wonderful you truly are! You can't find who you really are without Him. Seek Him, and you will find Him."-Brandi Foglio

 

"Okay... Here's the deal... If a guy is interested in you, he will want to call you, he will want to see you, and he will want to know about you. If you find that a guy only wants to call you once in a while, or he only wants to see you every now and then... it's because he has nothing else to do."-Doris Little

"Marriage, relationships, and boys in general are not rewards handed out to  good Christian girls for living in obedience and purity. There is a bigger plan and purpose at work in your singleness. God is not playing games with you.  He’s trying to work His perfect will out through your life. God is not holding out on you. He is giving you – the daughter He dearly loves – the best thing for right now. You may not understand it – and you may not particularly like it – but, you are asked to trust Him. Trust God. He is good, and He gives good gifts to His children!"-Mary Kassian

"It's extremely difficult to trust someone new when all you've ever experienced was disappointment along with betrayal."-Unknown

“I'm no beauty queen. I'm just beautiful me.”-Selena Gomez

"It's easy to be intimidated by mean people. See through their mask. Underneath is an insecure and unhappy person."

 

 

"You reflect on the people who used to be in your life, and it's like, 'Wow, I can't believe that person was ever really in my life.' But, people are put into your life for seasons, for different reasons, and to teach you lessons."-Selena Gomez

"He looks at me in a way like I'll just let this go, just understand, just be his gullible little girlfriend. The one who totally adores him, accepts him, and believes whatever he wants me to believe. Well, those days are gone."-Unknown

"You know what really sucks about falling for a guy you know you're not right for? You fall anyway because you think he might turn out to be different."-Selena Gomez

"Don't mistake lust for love. Many do and they end up very hurt... broken even."-Unknown

"There are people caught in our legal system as repeat offenders. There are judges who make the wrong decisions. There is the breakdown of the family. And all of these elements combined produce a society that can do very little to change a person's heart, if anything at all. Rehabilitation efforts largely fail. In fact, the only real programs that seem to produce lasting change are faith-based, and more specifically, are being operated by Christians who are calling people to faith in Jesus Christ. Society doesn't have the answers."-Greg Laurie

"Our society doesn't really have answers for all the problems we are facing in our country today. Ironically, our society seems to do everything it can to undermine the only one who can help us, and that is Jesus Christ."-Greg Laurie

 

"It is such a glorious thing when Christ so transforms someone that you can't even imagine that person being what he or she used to be. You realize that it is the power of a changed life. And that is what God can do."-Greg Laurie

"People will judge you. People will belittle you. People will reject you. People will treat you as though you have no worth or value. Forget what people say about you. Forget what people think about you. What God says about you is what is really important. His opinion of you is the only opinion that truly matters. God is the One who made you, and God is the One who has the final say about you...not those pitifully small people who think they have to mistreat you in order to feel better about themselves."-Doris Little

"Crying over a guy? Nah. Pick your head up princess. Your tiara is falling."-Unknown

"There's 10,080 minutes in a week and you couldn't use one to text me?"-Unknown

"Your life is not on hold because you are single."

"Remember the true reason you are single. It’s because this is exactly where God wants you to be. It is what is best for you now. It is what He wants to use in your life at this point in time to sanctify you and bring God glory."-Mary Kassian

"You can't move forward when you've got your eyes stuck on the rear view mirror."-Love Happens

"Alcohol is no more of a cure than a band-aid is on a bullet wound."-Love Happens

"Sometimes, despite your best efforts otherwise, life will give you lemons. When that happens, you've got two choices, friend: you can wear a sour face or make lemonade."-Love Happens

"No one ever gets tired of loving. But everyone gets tired of waiting, assuming, hearing promises, saying sorry and all the hurting."

"Don't believe that being single at Christmastime is the end of the world, because, you see—despite all the ads telling you differently—Christmas is not about you and whether or not you have a boyfriend."-Katrina Fernandez

"Fear not fellow single girls, Christmas 2012 is going to be great. We will not sob silently into our novelty Christmas jumpers after yet another relative asks why we’ve not met any nice boys at university. It will not be because this year we will be sobbing into a novelty onesie instead, but because being single at Christmas is definitely the way to be! Forget the tips about how to survive the holiday season as a singleton and instead embrace all of the positive aspects."-Kirstie Dyke
