“It’s often the wounds caused by our families that cut the deepest and leave the most apparent scars, but God can absolutely heal those wounds. Your family history doesn’t have to be your future.

He is the road map that will guide you into a new land of promise and freedom if you trust Him enough to walk that path in obedience.”

“an aspect of your own personality: your sense of humor or your ability to empathize. You wouldn’t be the same person without your friend as your external hard drive. I know, because for quite a while I thought I would lose her.”
