I have read a thousand and one quotes tonight, but my curser continues to blink expectantly.
I've decided I'd much rather hear from you instead . . .
What is one of your favorite quotes?

Lovely pictures! :)
One of my favorite quotes is this one that I found on my cousin's facebook page. I thought it sounded pretty cool, so here it is. :)
"God doesn't give you the people you want; He gives you the people you NEED...to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be..."
"Christ for the world, for the world needs Christ."
This is my current favorite. ( and so true.)
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." {Jim Elliot}
"If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble; for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, so it is beloved of none but itself." - Francis Quarles
"If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard....because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with."

miss you, Emily!
The photos are beautiful Emily!
Only one quote??? :] It's hard to choose =} I think I'll go w/ this one.
"If He laid down His life for us, is it not the least we can do to lay down ours for Him? If He bore the cross and died on it for me, ought I not to be willing to take it up for Him?" ~ D.L. Moody
In Him,

P.S. I haven't been on your blog recently so I just saw your blog banner and I LOVE it! It looks fantastic.
I have a number of quotes that mean a lot to me, but I'd have to say that this is one of my favorites...
"Just so surely as we ask to have our Faith strengthened, we must feel a willingness to take from God's hand the means for strengthening it. We must allow Him to educate us through trials and bereavements and troubles. It is through trials that Faith is exercised more and more. God affectionately permits difficulties, that He may develop unceasingly that which He is willing to do for us, and to this end we should not shrink, but if He gives us sorrow and hindrances and losses and afflictions, we should take them out of His hands as evidences of His love and care for us in developing more and more of that Faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us." - George Muller
In Christ,
Rebekah
"Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes
All my own desires and hopes and accept Thy will for my life.
I give myself, my life, my all
Utterly to Thee to be Thine forever.
Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit
Use me as Thou wilt, send me where Thou wilt
And work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost now
and forever."
~Betty Scott Stam
"Here I stand; I can do no other."
-Martin Luther
*Beautiful* pictures, Emily!!
"You are made a man by what you do in your spare time; you are made a leader by what you encourage others to do in their spare time." - not sure.
My question is this: "What kind of man, and what kind of leader?
"Where you live doesn't make you a missionary. The mission you are on makes you a missionary."
- What is a Trader? a video from Brian Mosley at RightNow.org-
A short clip, but worth watching! You can access it (along with another of my favorite quotes from the video!) here: http://melany7.blogspot.com/2010/12/traders-and-tentmakers.html
"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13 <3
Love this blog!
Though God's Word provides the BEST quotes, one of my favorite quotes is not from the Bible:
" I AM AWARE THAT I AM LESS THAN SOME PEOPLE PREFER ME TO BE, BUT MOST PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE THAT I AM SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT THEY SEE"
I came across the above quote on a day that I really needed it. Ever had one of those days? :)
"If you ever dream of beating me, you'd better wake up and apologize."
"You can only be as full as you are empty"
Miss you Emily!!!
Hello Emily! It was lovely meeting you at the Bright Lights conferences in PA! The testimonies you shared were touching and inspiring. Thank you for your openness. I also really appreciated the few short conversations we had. Your desire for the things of God shines clearly!
I guess I should share a quote, too. :-)
Speaking of the necessity for people to know the seemingly impregnable darkness of India, and in defense of her blunt portrayal of fact, Amy Carmichael wrote, "We shall have all eternity to celebrate the victories, but we have only the few hours before sunset in which to win them."
"Virtue is the highest proof of understanding and the only solid basis of greatness;...vice is the natural consequence of narrow thoughts...it begins in mistake and ends in ignominy." Samuel Johnson.
