“Openness to God demands our growing acceptance that we cannot create blueprints for our own lives. Though God’s character is unchanging, the ways of God are unpredictable, and there is a difference between arbitrariness and unpredictability.”
Enuma Okoro, Silence and Other Surprising Invitations of Advent

“Perhaps freedom in Christ is freedom from the modern pressures to have life figured out by a certain time.”
Enuma Okoro, Reluctant Pilgrim: A Moody, Somewhat Self-Indulgent Introvert's Search for Spiritual Community

“Maybe hope has to engage despair and re-narrate it.”
Enuma Okoro, Reluctant Pilgrim: A Moody, Somewhat Self-Indulgent Introvert's Search for Spiritual Community
