and says, 'Alright, let's make a deal. Twelve months from now,
we're gonna go our separate ways.'” ~ Rodney & Michelle

really help bring, I think, what we like to call, hope and
how-to's to a lot of families that desperately need it."


"Social media is an awesome tool if we use it to learn and to
gleam from; and if we choose the right voices to speak into our
lives."

are proactive. Rather than being on the defense, let's just be on
the offense."

"I didn't know she had needs."


"There are great marriages out there. It's just a matter of
commitment of both people's part and how hard you're going to
work at it, and commit to it."
"Or is your intended purpose to serve God and to serve
each other and to focus on building a legacy rather than building
memories."

"It was something that we never anticipated, never expected, that
we would have something like that happen in our lives. But it
brought out so much good."

other."

together to fulfill a greater purpose so that I can make an impact

to drifting to the things of this world and all the distractions
that come with it."
"Spend more time preparing for your marriage as oppose
to planning your wedding."

"Focus on the who before the do."


"You didn't do anything wrong. God's created us to have a
choice."


"So we can't ever allow our self-worth to be based on what our
children decide to do."

everything that you do."
