“We get inundated with so many messages about belief, about what is true and what is not, from both our families and our culture, and it’s crucial that every single one of us come to our own well-excavated understanding.”

“Go and make yourself useful, since you are too big to be ornamental.”

“The Lord needs men and women who know how to get answers. Men and women who aren't easily deceived and whose testimonies aren't shaken by someone with carefully crafted talking points. Men and women whose faith isn't threatened when they don't have all the answers and can't always effectively respond to alternate points of view. Men and women who have had witness after witness that Jesus is the Christ and that the gospel has been restored—so that when circumstances confuse or discourage them, they turn toward the Savior rather than away from Him. And men and women who are secure enough in their own testimonies that they can help others who are struggling to find their way.

He needs men and women who are willing to engage in the wrestle.”
― Sheri Dew, Worth the Wrestle

“That’s what sisters and girlfriends are all about. Sticking together even in the mud, ’specially in mud.”
― Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
