We are always on the anvil by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me he can work through anyone.
He didn't come out of my belly but my God I've made his bones because I've attended to every meal and how he sleeps and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
I have held many things in my hands and I have lost them all but whatever I have placed in God's hands that I still possess.
Throughout life people will make you mad disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
For it pleased God after he had made all things by the word of his power to create man after his own image.
If you must be mad be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.
God gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done.
God's truth judges created things out of love and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.
The space and light up there in Norfolk is wonderfully peaceful. I find myself doing funny things like gardening and cooking which I rarely do in London.
Gardening has just sort of grown on me. I find it therapeutic. And I like smelly things.
I have to keep up with the scientific literature as part of my job but increasingly I found myself reading things that weren't really relevant to my academic work but were relevant to gardening.
As children as we learn what things are we are slowly learning to dismiss them visually. As adults entirely submerged in words and concepts we spend almost all of our time thinking and worrying about the past and the future hardly ever looking at or engaging with the world visually.
I'm always interested in looking forward toward the future. Carving out new ways of looking at things.
I don't think things through very often - I don't project into the future about how a situation will turn out.
Whether things turn out for the better depends on what we do. We ought not spend our time masterminding the future but recognize our marching orders: to do the best we can for history and the planet.
I have a mantra in my head that there will always be another meal. I can put my fork down knowing there will be good things in my future!
If the right people do the right things we can walk we can have a future. But if people don't put time into it to make it run in a right way I don't think your team will work.
As much as we all talk about the future and how so many things are merging there is a simplicity that is crucial.
What's interesting about books that take place in the future even twenty years in the future is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future just like there is now.
What appeals to me? There are things points of view uses of the language habits of dress ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation no matter what the future may hold.
Creation is all space all time - all things past present and future.
So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we'll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We've also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.
I don't know what the future holds but I know that God holds tomorrow so it is exciting. Even when I have hard things happen He loves me so big so much. I come through it and I grow from it because He has got me.
