“Not all is certainty in our world, Karigan. If it were there'd be no opportunity for faith; and then it would be a very dull existence.”
― Kristen Britain, The High King's Tomb

“IN THAT MOMENT I NEEDED A GOD I COULD TRUST WITH MY AGONY-RIDDEN, EMOTION-ETCHED HEART, NOT JUST WITH MY LIFE’S STRATEGY.”
― Grace Thornton, I Don't Wait Anymore: Letting Go of Expectations and Grasping God's Adventure for You

“Dawn hadn’t begun to crack the sky yet that morning in Alabama, and I sat on my couch with a full cup of tea, enveloped in quiet so thick I felt I could almost hear the steam rising from the cup. “Okay, God,” I whispered. “I’m here. I don’t know where to start, but I’m here. And I’m not leaving until we figure this out. I know if You are who You say You are, if everything I’ve always known and heard about You is true, then my life won’t make sense until it’s all about You.”

“You have a destiny. Do you know what it is? Are you willing to embrace it? Lay down your very life in its service? Or will you let your enemy hold you back with fears and illusions, keep you from trusting Him whom you should trust above all others? He knows exactly what He is doing in your life, and He has everything under control. You know that, but do you believe it? Will you go forward in the direction He has led you and rest in the knowledge that He'll see you through it? Or will you back away?”
― Karen Hancock, The Shadow Within
