Favorite quotes:
1. “Lessen fear of failure by helping to make it a ‘when,’ not an ‘if.’”
2. “I love the definition of ‘resiliency’: the power or ability to return to the original form, position, etc., after being bent, compressed, or stretched; elasticity. We can model to our kids that they can ‘come back’; they can get back up again by living that out ourselves.”
3. “Look at how we respond to rejection and adversity. What are we modeling? Is failure the worst possible thing that can happen or does it simply mean we try it again in a new way?”
4. “If we can trust God to save us from eternity, certainly we can trust him with the next few years of our lives and to lead us and guide us.”
