We intend to hide our shortcomings, and the fear inside our hearts, but instead, we hide our beauty, our true selves.
There is a powerful shifting that takes place as we abandon the right to understand and yield to God's working in our lives.
Silence, shame, guilt, or any other emotional torment simply cannot rob us of God's love, of his plan for us.
True emotional healing lies somewhere between intentional choices and divine intervention, a junction of surrender, faith, trust, and action.
Those thin places where truth seeps through, those are the places where Jesus walks --- the places we find healing.

There was once a house built out of memories and inside this house lived a woman called The Memory Snatcher. This woman was my Aunt Beydan. She was a sorceress and as a child I feared she would stalk me in my sleep and steal all my memories until I c...
I don't know the secret of Mrs. Brown, but what I do know is that there are things that Mrs. Brown says and does that Brendan O'Carroll couldn't get away with. I think maybe it's a leniency that they're with an old woman. It's the old woman thing. I ...
A woman once held a Canary in the palm of her hand and stroked her and whispered a careful warning. The canary, seeking some freedom to fly, went into the mine while the woman watched in worry. The mine was filled with toxic gases and the Canary bega...
I always encourage women to let their individuality show by not covering up what they perceive as flaws. When I see a woman with the natural wrinkles of time on her face, I do not see the wrinkles at all, but when I see a woman trying to cover them u...
Slater: Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man.

Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley: Forgive me, Madam, but you are only a woman... Elizabeth: [cuts him off firmly] I may be a woman, Sir William, but if I choose I have the heart of a man! I am my father's daughter. I am not afraid of anything.
To a misogynist: To err is woman.
A woman can be in charge!

Old age is a woman's hell.
I want to be a wise woman.
