Quotes:

Angie Smith in "I Will Carry You":

"...What Mary and Martha say in their message to Jesus is not as interesting to me as what they don't say. They don't refer to Lazarus by name, nor do they ask Him to heal their brother. While we can infer that they were conveying a need for help, they don't actually ask Him to do anything specific. The request is similar to the one Mary, the mother of Jesus, made at the wedding feast in Cana. We are told that as the wine started to run out, she said to Jesus, 'They have no more wine." She doesn't explicitly tell Him the solution she is looking for but rather states the problem and waits to see what He will do about it. As I read their words, it occurred to me that this is not the way I approach the Lord with a crisis. I run to him with a laundry list of suitable responses and beg him to accommodate me."

"I have fallen in love many times, always with you."

"People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out , but hen the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."

"To have a baby is to dream new dreams,
to dream further into the future than you ever have before.
This child will change who you are and who you will become.

From the first cry, your dreams will never be the same."

"Promise me you'll always remember: you are braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -Christopher Robin to Pooh
