‎"You need an exterminator! Did I not tell you to clean this room? Things are hatching in this place!"
-Frankie Heck, "The Middle" (TV show)

"Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees."

that's a really awesome quote, I really loved it

"I know you're always there
To hear my every prayer inside I'm clinging to
The promise of a lifetime
I hear the words you say
To never walk away from me and leave behind
The promise of a lifetime"

--'Promise of a Lifetime' by Kutless

"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;....You'll be a man my son"

--"If" by Rudyard Kipling

"Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I
fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine"

--'I Can Only Imagine' by MercyMe

No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear my whispers in the dark . . .

Skillet, "Whispers in the Dark."

You are my hope
You are my strength
You are everything, everything I need.

Skillet, "You are My Hope"

We say a good many things in church (and out of church too) without thinking about what we are saying.

C.S. Lewis, "On Forgiveness."

I like that Kipling quote.

A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew.

From Give Us Clean Hands by Charlie Hall
"We bow our hearts, we bend our knees
Oh Spirit, come make us humble
We turn our eyes from evil things
Oh Lord, we cast down our idols

So give us clean hands, give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Give us clean hands, give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another"

SnowAngel

“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
-Winston Churchill

I'm glad you liked it, wild!

SnowAngel, Hold My Heart is one of my favorites. It's so full of hope and belief that God is in control, even when we can't feel Him or see Him. Thanks for sharing.

“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” -Martin Luther King

"I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining
I believe in love, even when I don’t feel it
And I believe in God, even when he is silent."
~I Believe in Love, Barlow Girl

“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

SnowAngel, Hold My Heart is one of my favorites. It's so full of hope and belief that God is in control, even when we can't feel Him or see Him. Thanks for sharing.

It's one of my favorites too. It's a great song. You are welcome!

This Is Love by Kutless - it's a great song!

Alone in a garden weeping
Begging His father pleading
Take this cup from me
But if it's Your will Father let it be

All of the others sleeping
Sweat on His brow was bleeding
He could have run away but He chose to stay

This is Love this is real
This is more than a hope or a feeling
It's enough to cover us
This is Love

After a kiss abandoned
Beaten and cursed for passion
They lifted Him up to die but He laid down His life

Death only wished it was stronger
The grave couldn't hold Him longer
He rose in victory to rescue His enemies

It seems like this mercy is following me
It seems like this love has come to rescue me

SnowAngel

Here are a few from the Hunger Games, since I just saw the movie:

Frosting, the last defense of the dying

Peeta Mellark, The Hunger Games

If you put enough pressure on coal, it turns into pearls!

Effie Trinket, The Hunger Games

They never get up early, unless there's a national emergency, like my leg hair

Peeta: You love me. Real or not real?
Katniss: Real.

"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly."

" just because I'm present does not mean that I'm here"
~ Switchfoot

"Don't blow me off, God. I never asked you for anything before and I never wanted to come to you like this, but don't take Turner away from me; he's not done yelling at me yet. God, you're not talking but I know you're here, so I'm gonna talk, and you can listen. God, I don't wanna be empty inside any more."
-Shawn Hunter, "Boy Meets World"(season 4, episode 21)

"It's just another morning glory
One more twisted side of this wild ride
Another chapter in the story
But I can't hide the way I feel inside
'Cause I'm a stranger in a strange land
And I'm a million miles from my home
If I gotta take my last stand
Well, I won't stand alone
I won't stand alone."
-Johnny Pacar, "I Won't Stand Alone"

"We read to know we're not alone." - from the film Shadowlands.

So true...

First of all, I have to follow Liberty and do a BMW quote!

"You do your thing, and I do my thing. You are you and I am I. And if the end we end up together, it's beautiful." - Topanga Lawrence, season 2, ep. 21

And then, the song lyric that always stays with me:

"What a shame, what a shame to judge a life that you can't change" - Shinedown <3

DawnTreader07: I LOVE that quote!

All the pictures you take. Begin to fade away.
All the promises you make. Are always broken.
So tell me.
Where's the truth. Were's it lie
Far away deep inside.
Don't you know that your time is running out and
You cant Hide.
Hide away for to long
it wont matter when the truth is gone
So when will you listen.

When all the things are starting over and your drowning under water
I'll get you out. Save you now.
When all your ways are finally over and you've got back out from under
Breathe in now. Safe Unsound.

All the worlds that you paint where everything is so perfect
Where your sun always shines forever without a fade. Away.
So tell me.
Where's the truth in this lie
You cant believe in this kind of life
It's so unreal. So full of hurt. Cries the lies
It doesn't matter. Matter to you. Matter at all
You try to climb. You some how fall back away.
Into your world that is fiction

-Forever The Day "Safe Unsound"
