“I found that I can pinpoint my unmet expectations by looking at my very real frustrations. Life's disappointments usually expose us to our hearts expectations. It's hard to be disappointed by something we weren't hoping for.”
Whitney Capps, Sick of Me: from Transparency to Transformation

“Exhaustion breeds frustration. And you know what causes exhaustion? Self help. Self help revolves around rises and falls, and depends on me. How can it not be exhausting? A self help strategy to spiritual growth has lots of unintended, problematic symptoms. What we think will make us better, actually makes us worse.”
Whitney Capps, Sick of Me: from Transparency to Transformation

“God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color.”
James McBride, The Color of Water

“When our hearts turn from God, they always turn towards self.”
Whitney Capps, Sick of Me: from Transparency to Transformation

“But when our expectations aren't anchored in the eternal, or informed by scripture, we end up running after things that are fleeing and ever-changing. Self infused desires and the pursuit of the approval of others is like chasing the wind: ever-changing, difficult to pin down, and impossible to catch.”
Whitney Capps, Sick of Me: from Transparency to Transformation
