"I can't think of any time when I actually doubted the presence of the Lord. There were times, of course, when I felt somewhat discouraged, but I don't dwell on anything negative when it comes to my life. I think negative attitudes are very destructive, so I think positively and have hope in the future and in those people who are willing to live good lives and do the very best that they can to help themselves and other people."
- Rosa Parks, as quoted by Christianity Today in April of 1995

Those are great words! No wonder she was able to sit there under the menacing glare of racism and to keep up the fight for years and years.
I had never seen this quote before. Thanks for reproducing it here.
Blessings!
