Quotes from Sheila Walsh

God—who totally accepts you, no matter what—to help you love and accept yourself.

I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:12

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out" (Isaiah 42:3).

of God's promise that disappointment will lead to hope.

Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness. Psalm 26:2—3 NIV

I've never walked to an altar in my life. I gave my life to Christ in my bedroom as a child.

One of the things I am very aware of not having in my life is the love of my father. ...but I know now that it is hard to make up that loss in the life of a daughter. It's your dad who tells you that you are beautiful. Its your dad who picks you up over his head and carries you on his shoulders. It's your did who will fight the monsters under your bed. It's your dad who tells you that you are worth a lot, so don't settle for the first guy who tells you you're pretty.

Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ.

My brokenness is a better bridge for people than my pretend wholeness ever was.

If you find yourself right now in a place where you are heartbroken, I want to remind you that Christ is very close to the broken. Our culture throws broken things away, but our Savior never does. He gently gathers all the pieces, and with His love and in His time, He puts us back together.

Whether Jesus calms the storm or calms us in the storm, His love is the same, and His grace is enough.

While walking through a dark season, if we attempt to navigate our lives by what we feel, we will run aground onto the rocks. We must navigate by what we know is true no matter what we feel.
