Fighting Forward: Your Nitty-Gritty Guide to Beating the Lies That Hold You Back Quotes

“I think we would rather skip the parts of our story where God feels absent or where or bodies are riddled with illness or where our brains don't feel like our own, but I think God uses the winters and the dark nights to do something he cannot do when everything is good and fine and beautiful. He has our attention, He's on the move.”

“Because here's the thing about God and pain: He never plans to leave you just as you are. You're far too precious to him to not upgrade you, to swap parts of you for a new model. When you know stories about the dark, you become a light to others. You get to show the way. You get to sit on the floor with people or on the other end of the phone, not saying a word because you know words can't change the present pain. You get to help others just be, as you decide to just be with them.”
