I LOVE finding great quotes about all sorts of life happenings. So many times people can relay exactly what I'm feeling much faster than I can. I went through my massive list of quotes I've found from various places and found some that I really felt like sharing. Enjoy!

~~~~Everyone says you don't know what you would say if you had a gun to your head and had to decide between Christ and your own life unless you were in that situation. I just wonder...how could I not choose Christ? How could I deny everything I've placed my faith, dreams, hopes and life in? But then, Peter denied his closest friend three times, and his life wasn't even in danger. I would hope it would be second nature to side with my Creator...my existence. I say make a decision now what you would say if placed in that situation and don't waiver. Don't settle. He didn't when He chose you.

~~~~I lay my “why's” before Your cross in worship kneeling, my mind beyond all hope, my heart beyond all feeling; and worshipping, realizing that I ,in knowing You, don't need to know “why”?

~~~~If God, like a father, denies us what we want now, it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.

~~~~If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.

~~~~I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so that you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together.

~~~~Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... “How the hell did I get through all of that?”

~~~~So before you bound out of bed and rush out the door ready for all life has for you, remember – Satan has spent all night waiting for your next unguarded moment.

~~~~What is most important is not where you stand, but the direction you're going in. It's more than never having bad moments; it's knowing you are always bigger than the moment. It's believing you have already been given everything you need to handle life. It's not being able to rid the world of all its injustices; it's being able to rise above them. It's the belief in your heart that there will always be more good than bad in the world. Remember to live just this one day and not add tomorrow's troubles to today's load. Remember that every day ends and brings a new tomorrow full of exciting new things. Love what you do, and always remember how much you are loved.

~~~~Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you.

~~~~You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

~~~~"So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture... None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us."- Romans 8:31-39

~~~~Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.

~~~~Get alone with Jesus and either tell Him that you do not want sin to die out in you - or else tell Him that at all costs you want to be identified with His death.

~~~~You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.

~~~~Never regret anything you've ever done, because at one point it was exactly what you wanted.

~~~~When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly.

~~~~You are a woman. An image bearer of God. The Crown of Creation. You were chosen before time and space, and you are wholly and dearly loved. You are sought after, pursued, romanced, the passionate desire of your Fiancé, Jesus. You are dangerous in your beauty and your life-giving power. And you are needed.

~~~~You will eventually lose someone you love and love someone you never thought you'd find. People are going to hate you, love you, love to hate you, and hate to love you. But the ones that mean the most will always be there.

I couldn't have said it better myself :)
