Toni Sorenson Quotes

Tears do not signal your weakness. Tears testify that you are alive.

I didn’t want to want what I wanted. I wanted to want what He wanted for me.

A great life starts and steadies with a great mind that is open to new ideas, fierce in defense of truth, and always eager to learn.

Christmas is not a date on a calendar. It’s more than a state of mind. It’s a condition of the heart.

In some cases abusive or damaged relationships cannot and should not be saved.

I know personally that when a child is abused the trajectory of that child's life is changed forever. That doesn't mean the path to happiness is impossible, but it does mean there will be detours and side roads that were never intended. Come back from those places, my friends, with lessons and compassion those on the straight road might never have the chance to learn. You are now equipped to help hurting children because you've navigated down those dark courses and made it back. Cudos to you, but also let your shoulders feel the weight of the responsibility to help others who are still lost and struggling to find their way to safety.

So what if you're scared spitless? So what if you're intimidated, insecure or inundated with doubt? If it's the thing that will advance you, do it anyway. Forward movement always begins with an inward decision.

Want to create the best Christmas ever? Forgive someone who doesn’t deserve your forgiveness. Hug a stranger. Pass on something that you want to keep for yourself. Spend time with the ones you love. Spend time on your knees. Decorate your life with light and laughter. Love yourself while you’re loving others. Christmas is about Christ and Christ is all about your joy and happiness.
