Great quotes from Cody:

In seeking God, I learned how to value myself.

You are infinitely valuable.

God is going to speak to you in a way that you will understand, that is meaningful to you. He may not use words; he may not use dreams; he may not use compulsion but he’s going to use something that will speak to you.
