“When you feed your faith, you starve your doubts.”
“My only thoughts were of victoriously accomplishing the tasks that God had given me to do. From the time I was seventeen, I have sincerely sought to live in the will of God as revealed to me. I cannot remember a time when the Lord ever led me in any direction that I did not follow. “

“I was not at all sure of our destination, but I was compelled by an unexplainable pressure of destiny. I had to be obedient to that heavenly vision. And I knew that I was not alone.”
“For the rest of my days I must run with the vision.”
“I had only the call of God on my soul, the vision in my heart, and twelve dollars in my pocket. There was nothing to fear.”
“I knew I must move with God in His time, otherwise the opportunity would be forever lost, the work would go undone.”
