1 " I would have taken Zeb, purely for entertainment value, but he had an actual date, with a real girl. That hadn't happened in a while, so I was a good friend and put my own needs second to the possibility of him actual sex with a real girl. "
― Molly Harper , Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs (Jane Jameson, #1)
2 " Do you often feel like parched ground, unable to produce anything worthwhile? I do. When I am in need of refreshment, it isn't easy to think of the needs of others. But I have found that if, instead of praying for my own comfort and satisfaction, I ask the Lord to enable me to give to others, an amazing thing often happens - I find my own needs wonderfully met. Refreshment comes in ways I would never have thought of, both for others, and then, incidentally, for myself. "
― Elisabeth Elliot
3 " I often must sacrifice my own needs and desires for the purpose of giving my children what they need and modeling for them the depths of Christ's love." ...make myself available in the routine tasks and myriad interruptions of daily life b/c I believe it is God's will for me to serve my family through them. "
