“There are a few people out there with whom you fit just so, and, amazingly, you keep fitting just so even after you have growth spurts or lose weight or stop wearing high heels. You keep fitting after you have children or change religions or stop dyeing your hair or quit your job at Goldman Sachs and take up farming. Somehow, God is gracious enough to give us a few of those people, people you can stretch into, people who don't go away, and whom you wouldn't want to go away, even if they offered.” PeopleIfsWantGivingChildrenEnoughJobsGrowthLosesHairFitWeightQuittingGoing AwayHeelsFarmingGraciousFittingHigh HeelsLose WeightQuitting Your JobGoldman SachsWant To Go Away Book:Girl Meets God: On the Path to a Spiritual Life Source: Girl Meets God: On the Path to a Spiritual Life
“Some days I am not sure if my faith is riddled with doubt, or whether, graciously, my doubt is riddled with faith. And yet I continue to live in a world the way a religious person lives in the world; I keep living in a world that I know to be enchanted, and not left alone. I doubt; I am uncertain; I am restless, prone to wander. And yet glimmers of holy keep interrupting my gaze.” IfsKnowsWorldWayPersonsLeftReligiousDoubtHolyWanderNot SureUncertainRestlessLeft AloneEnchantedReligious PersonInterrupting Book:Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis Source: Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis
