1. “Don’t become famous for what you don’t do.”

  2. God is like the Himalayas.  On some days I can’t see Him, but that doesn’t mean He isn’t there.

  3. “Create more than you consume.”  Draw. Paint. Design. Make this place beautiful.

  4. Don’t take God casually.  If I believe Jesus is who He said He is, I should be continually awed to have a relationship with Him.

  5. When I say I’ll pray about something, I do it.  

  6. Reflect daily- When I take away my roles, awards, and achievements, do my people really know me?

  7. God is the author of my story.  When I want to take the pen back I need to remember that He’s a better writer.

  8. There is no swimming or toe dipping into grace- I drown in it (from our squad coaches).

  9. Jump into the ocean with clothes on.

  10. I can’t save people.  Jesus saves people.  I will love them where they’re at, but it’s not my responsibility to control the emotions and actions of others.

  11. Say what you mean.

  12. Being present means everything.  I could have just sent a check to each of these countries, but being there to listen, love, and serve is fulfilling a true need.

  13. A handwritten letter warms the heart.

  14. “Sometimes the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are” (John Green).  I won’t stick my perceptions on others.  I will let them be who they are instead of building them up in my head.

  15. “If faith destroys the fun in your life, that’s not faith, that’s religion” (Erwin McManus)

  16. God keeps His promises, even to the cross.

  17. When free food is offered, take it.

  18. Simplify.

  19. Fight for the things worth fighting about.

  20. God is like a really good book.  It has a million lessons going on at once and you have to revisit it many times to understand everything.

  21. “If you want to be rare, be fully alive” (Erwin McManus).

  22. My worth isn’t from my work.

  23. Chocolate is gold.

  24. Do justice.
