Quote by Beth Moore

“A teenager doesn't know she's still a child. A teenager feels like an adult, I suppose primarily because her outside, her flesh and her face, her body, her size, her width and height, look like - and can function like, get pregnant like, can party like, get arrested like, and die just like - an adult. She thinks she's making decisions as a grown-up with a fully developed brain and, in a case like mine, a fully developed faith. She's wrong about both of those beliefs. But chances are, she will not realize what a child she was until, as a full-grown adult, she knows and loves a teenager.”

“I can take care of myself. He doesn't scare me, Elizabeth; he disgusts me. There's a difference." Elizabeth knew this feeling exactly. She bent down and put her arms around Harriet. Despite their friendship, the two women rarely touched. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you," Elizabeth said, pulling her close. "You know that, don't you?" Harriet, surprised, looked up at Elizabeth, tears forming. "Well me, too. Ditto." Then the older woman finally pulled away. "I'll be okay," Harriet promised, wiping her face. "Just let it go." But Elizabeth was not the type of person who let things go.”
