I love Jesus. I am a dreamer. I talk a lot. I love to laugh. I can't sit still. I love people. I sing in the car like I am on American Idol. I enjoy reading, but not novels. I prefer text messaging to talking on the phone and I prefer face to face conversations above anything else. I am thankful for iChat. I love to travel, near and far. My life sings a song of redemption and peace. I am me, unapologetically.
"You can't be connected with God until you're at peace with who you are. If you're upset that God gave you this body or this life or this family or these circumstances, you will never be able to connect with God in a healthy, thriving, sustainable sort of way. You'll be at odds with your maker. And if you can't come to terms with who you are and the life you've been given, you'll never be able to accept others and how they were made and the lives they've been given. And until you're at peace with God and those around you, you will continue to struggle with your role on the planet, your part to play in the ongoing creation of the universe. You will continue to struggle and resist and fail to connect."
-Rob Bell, Sex God
"Life is a dance toward God. And the dance is not so graceful as we might think. For a while we glide and swing our practiced sway, God crowds our feet, bumps our toes, and scuffs our shoes. He lowers His head, whispers soft and confident, “You will dance to the beat of ‘Amazing Grace’ or you will not dance at all.” So we learn to dance with the One who made us. And it is a taxing dance to learn."
Donald Miller, Through Painted Deserts
"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. let their spirit light a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it..."
Wilfred Peterson
"At that moment, we decided to stop complaining about the church we saw, and we set our hearts on becoming the church we dreamed of."
Shane Claiborne, The Irresistible Revolution
“Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Love as if this is all there is.”
Mary Anne Radmacher
"Go forth and set the world on fire."
St. Ignatius Loyola
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?”

“Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
