Motto’s I live by:
- If you’re living in fear, you’re not living in faith.
- Today I refuse to stress myself out about things I cannot control or change.
- It’s hard to have a bad attitude, when you start your day with gratitude.
Favorite scripture:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 NIV
