Some wonderful tidbits from Living Your Calling by Kevin & Kay Marie Brennfleck:

“Hopes, dreams, and perceptions of our callings are often fragile in the beginning. Choose carefully the people with whom you share them.”

“Choosing to see the positive in ourselves and in the life situations we encounter comes down to a matter of faith. Optimism for people of faith is founded on trusting that God is in control; regardless of how bleak or challenging circumstances seem to be, he is using them for our good and his glory.”

“We need the Creator of time to guide us away from living the stressed-out, overscheduled, and anxiety-ridden life of driven people and into living the centered, purposeful, and joyful life of people who are called.”
