Quotes by Kate Battistelli  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“How else can you grow in faith unless God allows something in your life you have to have faith for? Faith only becomes real when it’s tested. How can you believe God is who He says He is unless He allows situations that cause you to stretch and grow and see Him as more than just a great big blessing machine in the sky?”
Kate Battistelli, The God Dare: Will You Choose to Believe the Impossible?

“The empty nest can be one of the toughest parts of parenting. It’s a holy, hard giving-back, a sacred release of our children into God’s care and their next chapter. But you, too, have a new chapter, and you can find peace as you transition from mom to empty nest mom and rediscover that mom is not your only name.
There is a second act, a future with your name on it, different from your children’s but filled with hope and surprises you cannot begin to imagine…if you plan for it, believe in it, and, with the Lord’s help, walk fearlessly into it.

You are cordially invited to the After Party…because Mom is not your only name.”
Kate Battistelli, The After Party of the Empty Nest: Mom is Not Your Only Name

“Motherhood is both a beautiful dance and a brutally gut-wrenching exercise in self-
control. As much as we want to jump in and solve every one of our children’s problems, we must
now sit on the sidelines, letting them learn to live without us. And as they begin to learn, we learn
something too. We learn to pray without ceasing. And we learn God has an Act II just for us.
13
Raising children to be capable adults is one of the most amazing, agonizing, beautiful,
and painful things we will ever do. We celebrate our children’s independence while mourning
their departure. In fact, if we grieve their going, we most likely did it right.
I had no idea of the surprises God had in store for me, and He has them for you, too.”
