"Remember this truth tonight in whatever uncertainties you face: God is good, and God is good at being God." - LT

Sometimes, I have brief moments when I am reminded of my past mistakes, failures, and poor decisions. I am reminded of people I should not have allowed into my life and other things I should have never done or gotten involved in. Not long ago, I came across these words, and they helped me so much... "God put our sin on his Son and punished it there. Your sins have been placed on Jesus. Jesus receives the blow. And since Christ is between you and God, you don’t. The sin is punished, but you are safe—safe in the shadow of the cross!" - Max Lucado

"Don't do anything you don't have peace about. Let peace be the umpire that decides if a thing should be in your life or not." Joyce Meyer (Colossians 3:15)

"What do we do with disappointment? What do we do with defeat? The same thing every successful person has ever done: We wipe off our sweat, toss our worn and tattered jerseys in the wash, and we move on." - Tony Evans

"All of us will endure difficult circumstances in our lives. No one can completely escape all suffering. But as believers in an all-powerful, loving God, we know that He will take us through these low places to prepare us for ascending new heights." - Charles Stanley

"Pay careful attention not only to the information and influence that you allow into your mind, but also to what you are thinking on an ongoing basis. It is important to remind yourself to be very present. To focus your mind on the moment you are in, and not spend it in regret or rehearsing of the past or in fret and worry of the future. Learn the art of being grateful for each moment of life and you are on your way to living with a victorious mind." - TE

"If you want to find your purpose, find God. If you want to get close to your purpose, get close to God. When you get close to God, you get close to the One who knows the plans He has for you—good plans for a future and a hope." - Tony Evans

"Happiness has to be found within yourself before you can truly find it with someone else. So many people are trying to avoid working on themselves. So many people think that if they pick a better person to be in love with, it will fix the rest of their problems. Love is not about finding someone who you can dump all of your problems on. Some people don't realize that, the work you do on yourself, will always play a part in your next relationship. To find a better person, you also have to be a better person as well." - IG

"Sometimes when you’re young you think nothing can hurt you. It’s like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans. Big Plans. To find your perfect match, the one who completes you. But as you get older you realize it’s not always that easy. It’s not until the end of your life that you realize how the plans you made where simply plans. Because at the end when you’re looking back instead of forward you want to believe you made the most of what life gave you. You want to believe you’re leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered." - OTH

"Perseverance is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen. If our hopes seem to be experiencing disappointment right now, it simply means that they are being purified. Every hope or dream of the human mind will be fulfilled if it is noble and of God. But one of the greatest stresses in life is the stress of waiting for God. Continue to persevere spiritually." - Oswald Chambers

"Peace is the deliberate adjustment of my life to the will of God."

"Don't try to control other people's behavior. It is a tremendous burden to attach yourself to outcomes and behaviors you simply don't control. The only control you have is your own behavior; and that's tough enough to control. What chance do you think you have of controlling other's?" - Steve Maraboli

Last night, I heard a college baseball player say, "You can't control results. You can only control effort."
