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.

It's heavy, but I am able to carry it. Why? Because I'm an African woman. An African woman carries heavy loads anyway. That's how we are trained; we are brought up that nothing is unbearable. I use that now, positively. I use that now to have the thi...

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...

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.
Only when a new government comes to power do you learn to appreciate the values of the old one.
Young people talk of what they are doing; old people of what they have done; and fools of what they have a mind to do.
To a misogynist: To err is woman.
A woman can be in charge!
I always respect a woman.
