Quotes, people...
Dreams carried around in one's heart for years, if they are dreams that have God's approval, have a way of suddenly materializing. -Catherine Marshall
The dumb get dumber! -Benny McQua
According to the BURDEN that GRIEVES you, is the CRY to GOD that comes from YOU!
Your decisions determine your destiny!

"Let not our longing slay the appetite of our living." -Jim Elliot
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." -C. S. Lewis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Life has been changed by my REDEEMER. I have loved Jesus since I could talk. The Lord has healed me, set me free, and birthed His dreams in my heart. He's the Lover of my Soul and my Best Friend. I want my lifestyle, my loves, my words, my thoughts, my beliefs, my worship- to all be for Him! He seized my heart when I was 14, and I will never turn back. Can't wait to see Him one day. :)
I love my family...mom, dad and three sisters- Cori, Tricia, and Sarah. You gals rock, and you love the Lord more than anyone I know!!! Also love my sister-in-law Rachel and bro. Daniel.
I love my kids! You are my burden, my joy, my life! I pray for you to live POWERFUL and fruitful lives for God, being a PLANET SHAKER wherever you are. I love Hearts Ablaze. You guys are my heart.

Which Jane Austen Character are You? (For Females) Long Quiz!!!
created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as Elinor Dashwood

As Marianne's older sister, Elinor lives at the other end of the emotional spectrum. She rarely reveals her intense feelings and is more concerned with being honest and loyal than having what she deserves. Even though her intentions are pure, she sets herself up for loss by constantly placing other people before her own needs. Overall, Elinor is gentle and rational but is just as capable of radical emotions (despite her withholding them) as her sister.
