This month is my birthday month. And this year I turn 40! Therefore, I’m doing a blog series on the number 40. This week’s blog post is a compilation of 40 great inspirational quotes to encourage you to SHINE. These are quotes I have posted on social media and wanted to share them in one place with you here.
Whether it is writing a book, building a business, growing a ministry, or raising a family; my hope and prayer is that these quotes inspire you to let the gifts and abilities He has given to you to SHINE and impact those around you.
Blessings to you today,
