“The couch and I were what I would describe as frenemies. I loved to hate it. It was too small for my frame. I had tried to tell my wife that fact when we bought it off of Craigslist, but she assured me that it went perfectly with our room decor and it was a good deal.”

“God has awesome plans for your life. So get excited!”

“In your life, the people become like a patchwork quilt. Some leave with you a piece that is bigger than you wanted and others smaller than you thought you needed. Some are that annoying itchy square in the corner, and others that piece of worn flannel. You leave pieces with some and they leave their pieces with you. All the while each and every square makes up a part of what is you. Be okay with the squares people leave you. For life is too short to expect from people what they do not have to give, or were not called to give you.”

“If you are a worrywart you can't be a ninja. You can't rise up and fight when the weight of the world is pressing you down. Your family needs you to be sane and not bogged down in fear.”

“Some battles take more than one ninja to win.”

“Ninja mom's understand that training time is never wasted time.”

“To be a ninja Mom you have to be cool with yourself.”

“Ninja Mom's have to learn that when they mess up, they get right back up again.”

“Ninja Mom's are graced to finish the raise set before them!”

“Ninja Mom's know that God has never left them!”

“Ninja faith stands. It is not shaken when things seem contrary to what one expects. Ninja faith chooses to believe the truth.”
