“The Bible tells me that “every good and perfect gift is from the Lord.” I believe it. But, unlike things like stress and calories, these good gifts really are optional—I can choose to push them away, or I can embrace them with open arms. I wonder how many good gifts I’ve left unopened because I was too stressed, harried, or just plain shortsighted to recognize them for what they were?”
― Karen Scalf Linamen, Welcome to the Funny Farm: The All-True Misadventures of a Woman on the Edge

“Lord, hang on to me. I know I should be hanging on to you, but I’m not. The truth is, I feel too wounded and broken and angry and rebellious and hurt right now to hang on to you. So if I’m going to get through this at all, it’s got to be up to you. See me through this, Lord, hang on, please hang on to me and don’t let go.”
― Karen Scalf Linamen, Welcome to the Funny Farm: The All-True Misadventures of a Woman on the Edge
