the times we worked harder to make the day stand out. our story demanded that we change and so we did.

Job found contentment and even joy, outside the context of comfort, health or stability. He understood the story was not about him, and he cared more about the story then he did about himself.

I think it's very hard for us, for Christians, to understand that it's okay to read a book, for instance, on how to manage your time. There's nothing wrong with that.

Nobody will listen to you unless they sense that you like them.

The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.

I loved the fact that it wasn't my responsibility to change somebody, that it was God's, that my part was just to communicate love and approval.

All this beauty exists so you and I can see His glory, His artwork. It's like an invitation to worship Him, to know Him.
