Life's Too Short To Spend It Trying To Keep Others Happy. You Can't Please Everyone. To Fulfill Your Destiny, Stay True To Your Heart.

Not Every Person Is Going To Understand You And That's Okay. They Have A Right To Their Opinion And You Have Every Right To Ignore It.

I Think Sometimes You Just Lose Your Focus, And I Think That's Easy To Do When You Start Getting More Fame, More Money, More Power.

I Like Sports, And I Enjoy Playing Basketball And Lifting Weights.

Lifting Weights

I Think Sometimes The Critics Want Me To Beat People Down, And That's Not In Me. I Want To Lift People Up.

Life Is Too Short To Live That Way. Learn To Travel Light. Every Morning When You First Get Up, Forgive The People That Did You Wrong The Day Before. Forgive Your Spouse For What They Said. At The Start Of The Day, Let Go Of The Disappointments, The Set Backs From Yesterday. Start Every Morning Fresh And New. God Did Not Create You To Carry Around All That Baggage. Let It Go And Move Forward In The Life Of Blessing He Has In Store For You!

You Have To Learn To Follow Your Heart. You Can’t Let Other People Pressure You Into Being Something That You’re Not. If You Want God’s Favor In Your Life, You Must Be The Person He Made You To Be, Not The Person Your Boss Wants You To Be, Not Even The Person Your Parents Or Your Husband Wants You To Be. You Can’t Let Outside Expectations Keep You From Following Your Own Heart.

You Don't Know What's On The Inside Until You Put A Demand On Your Potential.

I've Always Been Very Happy. I've Always Been Easy Going And I've Always Been Very Encouraging; It's Just My Personality.

It's Our Faith That Activates The Power Of God.

I Think The First Thing To Do Is To Be Aware That You Can Choose What You're Thinking About And That Your Life Is Going Down The Path That You're Thinking.

So Many People Talk About Themselves: "i'm Unattractive, My Mind's So Slow, And I Can't Do This." And You Know What I Tell Them? "god Didn't Make A Mistake When He Made You. You Need To See Yourself As God Sees You."

It's God's Will For You To Live In Prosperity Instead Of Poverty. It's God's Will For You To Pay Your Bills And Not Be In Debt.

Let's Start Affecting Our Whole City, And Maybe We Can Affect The Whole Nation, The Whole World. I'd Like To Affect It With The Fact That God Is A Good God And He's On Your Side And He's Got A Good Plan For You And When You Put Your Hand In His, Great Things Can Happen.

True Success Is When You Reach Back And Bring Somebody Along With You.

I Don't Have It In My Heart To Condemn People. I'm Here To Encourage Them. I See Myself More As A Coach, As A Motivator To Help Them Experience The Life God Has For Us.

The Older I Get, The Better I Understand That Every Day Is A Gift.

The First Place We Lose The Battle Is In Our Own Thinking. If You Think It Is Permanent Then It's Permanent. If You Think You've Reached Your Limits Then You Have. If You Think You Will Never Get Well Then You Won't. You Have To Change Your Thinking. You Need To See Everything That's Holding You Back, Every Obstacle, Every Limitation As Only Temporary.

Selfishness Is Weakness. But Loving And Caring For Others Is A Position Of Power Beyond Anything We Can Possibly Imagine.

The Main Rule To Me Is To Honor God With Your Life. To Live A Life Of Integrity. Not Be Selfish. You Know, Help Others. But That's Really The Essence Of The Christian Faith.

I See God As My Heavenly Father, Like My Earthly Father, As Loving And Kind. Yes, He Disciplined Me, He Helped Me Make Good Decisions, But I Knew My Dad Was Always There For Me. If I Made A Mistake, I Wouldn't Run From My Dad, I'd Go To Him.

If You Spend Your Life Trying To Please People Or Letting Them Control You, You May Make Them Happy, But You'll Miss Your Destiny.

There Is A Winner In You. You Were Created To Be Successful, To Accomplish Your Goals, To Leave Your Mark On This Generation. You Have Greatness In You. The Key Is To Get It Out.

Be A Victor , Not A Victim.

If Your Dream Dies, Dream Another One. If Things Don't Work Out The Way You've Planned, God Has A Better Plan For You.

At Times We're Going To Get Angry. Anger Is An Emotion God Built Into Us. But We Don't Have To Blow Up And Say Hurtful Things That Are Going To Damage Our Relationships. Learn To Take A Step Back, Collect Your Thoughts, And Think About What You Want To Say.

Sometimes You Need Faith And Victory Spoken Over Your Life. Words Have Created Power. When You Receive Them Into Your Spirit, They Can Ignite Seeds Of Increase On The Inside.

I Want The Services To Look And Sound Like The Grammys. It's Not Showy, But We Represent God, And It Should Be First Class.

I Think A Big Test We All Face In Life On A Regular Basis Is That Discouragement Test. Life's Not Always Fair, But I Believe If You Keep Doing The Right Thing, God Will Get You To Where You Are.

My Core Message Is That God Has Got A Good Plan For Your Lives, And We Must Trust Him, And Let Go Of The Past. That's My Main Message.

I'm Not The Judge. You Know, God Didn't Tell Me To Go Around Judging Everybody.

God Didn't Make A Mistake When He Made You. You Need To See Yourself As God Sees You.

Too Often We Judge People Based On Our Own Backgrounds And Experiences, But When You Understand People's Stories, It's Easier To Understand Their Demeanor.

God Has Destined You To Soar. You Have Victory, Freedom And Excellence On The Inside.

I Believe God's Keeping The Records, And I Believe You Will Be Rewarded Even In This Life. Somehow, Some Way, God Will Make It Up To You. It May Be He Protected You From An Accident You Never Knew. You Can't Give God Something Without God Giving You More In Return, Whether It's Peace Or Joy Or Satisfaction.

My Daddy Tried To Get Me Up To Speak For The 17 Years That I Worked Behind The Scenes, But I Never Had The Desire. Naturally, I Was Nervous And Kind Of Shy. I Just Didn't Want To Do It.

Take The Limits Off Of Yourself. You Will Never Rise Higher Than Your Thinking. Create A Great Vision For Your Life.

It’s Vital That You Accept Yourself And Learn To Be Happy With Who God Made You To Be. If You Want To Truly Enjoy Your Life, You Must Be At Peace With Yourself.

Accepting Yourself

I Declare God Is Going Before Me Making Crooked Places Straight. He Has Already Lined Up The Right People, The Right Opportunities And Solutions To Problems I Haven't Had. No Person, No Sickness, No Disappointment, Can Stop His Plan. What He Promised Will Come To Pass.

The Bible Says No Man Can Take Your Joy. That Means No Person Can Make You Live With A Negative Attitude. No Circumstance, No Adversity Can Force You To Live In Despair. As Eleanor Roosevelt, Wife Of Wheelchair-bound President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Often Said, ‘no One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent.

My Friends And I Had Fun Together, But I Was More Reserved, Not At All The Life Of The Party. I Would Just Be The Quiet One In The Room.

Salvation And Christ's Love Is A Gift. You Don't Earn It. You've Got To Receive That Gift. I Think One Of The Most Important Things Is Starting Off The Day Forgiving Others And Forgiving Yourself. You Learn From Your Mistakes, But I Don't Think You Have To Drag Them Back Into Today.

Choosing To Be Positive And Having A Grateful Attitude Is Going To Determine How You're Going To Live Your Life.

A Lot Of Churches Have Not Moved With The Times.

I Always Try To Put A Seed Of Hope Into People's Hearts. I'm Not There To Teach Them Doctrine Necessarily, But To Let Them Know That God Is A Good God, And Has A Plan For Their Lives. Hopefully, That Will Restore Their Faith, Or Draw Them Into Faith.

See, When You Drive Home Today, You've Got A Big Windshield On The Front Of Your Car. And You've Got A Little Bitty Rearview Mirror.

I Realize That As Quick As You Go Up, You Can Really Come Down That Quick. And We've Seen It Happen With Others.

Do All You Can To Make Your Dreams Come True.

Dreams Come True

I've Learned A Simple Principle: All I Have To Do Is Be The Best 'me' That I Can Be. One Day When I Read The Scripture About David, That He Fulfilled His Purpose For His Generation. I Knew God Spoke To Me.

If You Develop An Image Of Success, Health, Abundance, Joy, Peace, Happiness, Nothing On Earth Will Be Able To Hold Those Things From You.

If You’re Not Seeing God Move In Your Life Right Now, One Of Two Possibilities Must Be Considered. Either Your Requests Are Not God’s Best And Will Probably Not Be Answered The Way You’d Like Or It Must Not Be The Right Time. If God Were To Answer That Prayer The Way You Are Hoping, It Could Interfere With His Ideal Plan For You.

There's Plenty About God That I Don't Understand And Can't Explain. But I Come Back To My Core Belief That God Is Good, That He's For Us.

You Have To Turn It Around And Say God Still Has A Great Plan For My Life. I May Not Understand Things That Happen, But Faith Is All About Trusting When You Don't Understand It.

Keep A Good Attitude And Do The Right Thing Even When It's Hard. When You Do That You Are Passing The Test. And God Promises You Your Marked Moments Are On Their Way.

God Honors Obedience, And He Has Distinct Plans For Us. I Think The Dreams That God Puts In Our Hearts, We Can Fulfill. He's Equipped Us For That.

Nothing In Life Has Happened To You, It's Happened For You!

Certainly There Are Times In All Of Our Lives When Bad Things Happen, Or Things Don’t Turn Out As We Had Hoped. But That’s When We We Must A Decision That We’re Going To Be Happy Inspite Of Our Circumstances.

When Bad Things Happen

So Many People Say, "i Just Don't Have A Good Job, Or My Marriage Is Not Where It's Supposed To Be." Really It's Excuse After Excuse To Not Be Happy. To Me It's A Waste. I'm Going To Look At What's Right And Not What's Wrong In My Life. I'm Alive, I'm Healthy, And You Know, A Good Thing To Remember Is Somebody's Got It A Lot Worse Than We Do.

Life Is Going By. Don't Waste A Minute Being Negative, Offended, Or Bitter. Choose To Be Happy.

I'm Not A Big Believer In Trying To Jam Stuff Down Somebody's Throat: 'you're Going To Do It My Way.' I'd Rather Show By Example And Live My Life And Have People Say, 'you Know What, I Want To Live Like Joel Has. He's Got Peace And Joy, And He Seems Content.'

I Think We Should Enjoy Our Families And Everyone That We Love Right Now, Each Day.

Well I Think A Lot Of Times We're Putting Things Off And I'm Going To Do It Later. I'm Going To Break This Bad Habit Or I'm Going To Pursue This Dream Or I'm Going To Treat My Spouse Better.

Putting Things Off

It Is A Hard Thing To Let Go Of Mistakes We've Made And Sins. God Wants Us To Do That Because He Knows The Guilt And The Condemnation Will Keep Us From Becoming Who He Has Created Us To Be. Salvation And Christ's Love Is A Gift. You Don't Earn It. You've Got To Receive That Gift. I Think One Of The Most Important Things Is Starting Off The Day Forgiving Others And Forgiving Yourself. You Learn From Your Mistakes, But I Don't Think You Have To Drag Them Back Into Today.

I Don't Have To Figure Out How God Is Going To Solve My Problem. I Don't Have To Understand How He's Going To Bring It To Pass. That's His Responsibility. My Job Is To Simply Believe That He Will.

I Don't Know What Can Be So Dangerous About Giving People Hope.

If You Can Be A Blessing To Somebody Else, You're Sowing A Seed For God To Help You.

Don’t Just Accept Whatever Comes Your Way In Life. You Were Born To Win; You Were Born For Greatness; You Were Created To Be A Champion In Life.

Your Idea May Not Be Exactly God's Idea, But I Can Promise You This: God's Way Will Be Better Than Your Way.
