I often look to my role models to see what drives them and how they live accordingly. Their beliefs and actions are the greatest influence on what motivates me and how I go about my days. From a faith perspective I watched my paternal grandmother the most. Through my eyes she seemed to have everything figured out when it came to her faith in her Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. She was in church every (healthy) Sunday and (as far as I knew) her faith never wavered.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” ~ Colossians 3:23-24

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” ~ Hebrews 11:6

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” ~ Matthew 11:28-30

“At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,  who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little  child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall  not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble  himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of  heaven.” ~ Matthew 18:1-4

“You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off; fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
~ Isaiah 41:9-10

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

“I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength.” ~ Philippians 4:10
