“True courage isn’t the absence of pain—it’s the decision to meet life with dignity, faith, and an open heart. Silver Linings was the beginning. Wonder Restored is the next chapter.”

“Wanna touch God? Touch a life in pain.”

“This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.”

“How, then, shall we face the future? When the sailor is out on the ocean, when everything is changing all around him, when the waves are born and die, he does not stare down into the waves, because they are changing. He looks up at the stars. Why? Because they are faithful; they have the same location now that they had for our ancestors and will have for generations to come. By what means does he conquer the changeable? By the eternal, one can conquer the future, because the eternal is the ground of the future, and therefore through it the future can be fathomed. What, then, is the eternal power in a human being? It is faith. What is the expectancy of faith? Victory-or, as Scripture so earnestly and so movingly teaches us, that all things must serve for good those who love God.”

“For I think belief in God is not a matter of reason at all; I think it finally is a matter of love.”

“All faith is blind faith,”
