“A best friend is the only one that walks into your life when the world has walked out.” ~Shannon L. Alder
"All great beginnings start in the dark, when the moon greets you to a new day at midnight.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“Beauty is not who you are on the outside, it is the wisdom and time you gave away to save another struggling soul like you.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“Every broken heart has screamed at one time or another: Why can’t you see who I truly am?” ~Shannon L. Alder
"Every woman that finally figured out her worth, has picked up her suitcases off pride and boarded a flight to freedom, which land in the valley of change." ~Shannon. L Alder
"If you go looking for love you won’t find it because love is never lost; only we are lost." ~Shannon L. Alder
"If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you're allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind." ~Shannon L. Alder
"Insecure people only eclipse your sun because they are jealous of your daylight and tired of their dark, starless nights." ~Shannon L. Alder
“It is not lies or a lack of loyalty that ends a relationship. It is the agonizing truth that one person feels in their heart on a daily basis. It is realizing that you are coping and not living. It is the false belief that there is a verse, quote, phrase or talk that will magically make you feel content, complete or not care. However, it doesn’t last longer than a few days, before your mind and heart goes back to what it wants. It is the moment you realize that you left without ever leaving. It is the moment you realize that fear, shame or guilt is the only thing standing in the way of the life God meant for you to live.” ~Shannon L. Alder
"Never let your fear of the unknown and things being too difficult make your choices for you in life. One of the saddest lessons in life is finding out that your fear made the situation worse than what it was and a braver person stole the dream you gave up on." ~Shannon L. Alder
"Often people that criticize your life are usually the same people that don't know the price you paid to get where you are today. True friends see the full picture of your soul." ~Shannon Alder
“One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“Reputation is what others think of us; character is what God knows of us. When you have spent what feels like eternity trying to repair a few moments of time that destroyed the view others once had of you then you must ask yourself if you have the problem or is it really them? God doesn’t make us try so hard, only enemies do.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they will end the friendship. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing and the ones that often become activists for the broken-hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“Sometimes, you will go through awful trials in your life and then a miracle happens--God heals you. Don’t be disheartened when the people you love don’t see things like you do. There will be Pharisees in your life that will laugh it off, deny that it happened, or will mock your experience based on righteousness they think you don't possess. God won't deny you a spiritual experience because you are not a spiritual leader. He loves everyone equal. The only people that really matter in life are the people that can “see” your heart and rejoice with you.” ~Shannon L. Alder
"The battle you are going through is not fueled by the words or actions of others; it is fueled by the mind that gives it importance." ~Shannon L. Alder
“The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“The only real battle in life is between hanging on and letting go.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“There are no coincidences in life. What person that wandered in and out of your life was there for some purpose, even if they caused you harm. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense the short periods of time we get with people, or the outcomes from their choices. However, if you turn it over to God He promises that you will see the big picture in the hereafter. Nothing is too small to be a mistake.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.” ~Shannon L. Alder
"There is no perfection, only beautiful versions of brokenness." ~Shannon L. Alder
“Time doesn't heal all wounds, only distance can lessen the sting of them.” ~Shannon Alder
“When you find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your beautiful without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and say, ‘that’s her’, the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing future. Who kisses you when you mess up, watches the stars and names one for you and will hold and rock that baby for hours so you can sleep…..you would marry him all over again.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“You know your testimony is strong when your roots are so deep that other people’s storms will never knock you over.” ~Shannon L. Alder
“You will know it is love not when you think about them all the time or want to be with them, but when you worry about them and you want their approval and happiness.” ~Shannon L. Alder
