I keep thinking about, as self-centered as it may be, the price tag that was on my life. It didn’t matter how much it was, there was no price too steep for God. There was no price he wouldn’t pay for my life.

So, if we are really interested in pursuing our dreams, we will silence that lie and intentionally surround ourselves with and be aware of other people.

When Jonathan was first diagnosed with malignant tumors I began asking God a lot of questions about healing. For fifteen years I prayed for a miraculous healing from his benign tumor, but it only progressed. I was learning—I still am learning—that intercession is coming into agreement with God’s heart on an issue rather than me praying my will into existence.
