What an excellent book this was. Here are my favorites I wrote down to re-read over and over.
We must not confuse the command to love with the disease to please.
The one who obeys God's instruction for today will develop a keen awareness of His direction for tomorrow.
A woman who lives with the stress of an overwhelmed schedule will often ache with the sadness of an underwhelmed soul.
The decision you make determines the schedule you keep.
The schedule you keep determines the life you live.
And how you live your life determines how you spend your soul.
Never is a woman so fulfilled as when she chooses to underwhelm her schedule so she can let God overwhelm her soul.
Find that courageous yes.
Fight for that confident no.
We have to put our hearts and our minds in places where wisdom gathers, not scatters.
Wisdom makes decisions today that will still be good tomorrow.
People fear what they don't understand.
A best yes will require having the courage to say no to other things. No to wrong things. No to some seemingly good things.
Today's choices becomes tomorrow's circumstances.
Our decisions aren't just isolated choices. Our decisions point our lives in the directions we're about to head. Show me a decision and I'll show you a direction.
Choices and consequences come in package deals. When we make a choice, we ignite the consequences that can come along with it.
Not making a decision is actually a decision. It's the decision to stay the same.
Wisdom needs to be practiced day after day if we are going to know how to apply it to the Best yes decisions when they come.
Wisdom requires work.
While my heart wants to say yes, the reality of my time makes this a no.
Saying yes all the time won't make me wonder woman. It will make me a worn-out woman.
It is impossible to please everyone.
