"Every breath that we are given is a gift from the Lord, and that it's not something thats owed to you, but  your chest is rising and falling because God is allowing it to, and he can take that away at any time. Every breath you have is an opportunity to repent and turn to him."

"I feel like there is not a single part of my identity that has not been affected by becoming a mother. Sometimes I can't even remember who I was before. I miss her a bit".

"A lot of my hopes in how parenting would go was tied up in how I was perceived by others."

"I don't think it was on my heart to please God. Like those things, to be calm and patient and all those things. I don't think that was from a Godly place. I do think it was really concerned with making others think I was good."

"I'd felt so much shame about having doubt and that I'd need to sort it out intellectually, on my own, because what would God think of me if He knew I was doubting he existed?"

"I thought if I was a better christian, I'd believe harder, I wouldn't be doubting - what kind of christian doubts? And then here's this Psalmist talking about being in a really vulnerable state of doubt... and I was amazed. I should have come to God with my doubts, and processed them in his presence and prayed through them. "

"Our feelings without the appeal of "remember who God is, remember what He's done" can lead us to believe that God doesn't care or that He's forgotten us. They can be misleading. "
