Favorite Quote: “The truth that we are dependent beings, that we were made by God and for God, is liberating. When I realize that my life is not my own, that it is by and for my very capable Maker, I no longer have to clamor to create my own success. It is not on me to make myself great. I’m in his hands. And he’s already the greatest.”
Something I’m applying: Jen talks about how holiness requires intentionality. It was a reminder to me to make sure that I continue to develop good habits around Bible study, prayer, and Christian community.
