The most important thing is this: to sacrifice what you are... - Shannon L. Alder

"Faith requires following the power of a whisper."

"My father taught me that you can you read a hundred books on wisdom and write a hundred books on wisdom, but unless you apply what you learned then its only words on a page. Life is not lived with intentions, but action."

"Spiritual pain is when you can’t stand another moment not knowing the real truth, and when you finally do know you can’t let go."

"If you were born with the ability to change someone’s perspective or emotions, never waste that gift. It is one of the most powerful gifts God can give—the ability to influence."

"After every storm, there is a rainbow. If you have eyes, you will find it. If you have wisdom, you will create it. If you have love for yourself and others, you won’t need it."
