Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder.Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what it is you have to say.It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
-Barara Kingsolver



Who can measure the long-term effects of nurturing helpless infants, supervising wandering toddlers, discipling self-willed children, and counseling self-absorbed adolescents? Of family outings planned, traditions built, memories made, books read, songs sung, Scripture taught? That's why motherhood belongs under the heading, 'Engage the World'; no one shapes generations or fashions cultures more than mothers.

-Jeff Purswell, Worldliness, (edited by C.J. Mahaney, p. 159).

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.  She never
existed before.  The woman existed, but the mother, never.  A mother
is something absolutely new.

God will not protect you from the very thing He will use to perfect you.
Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you
come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is
people who have come alive.
-Dr. Howard Thurman
Pay attention to your tears. What you cry over is what your calling is.
