Shauna Niequist Quotes

I'm Not Building A Castle Or A Monument; I'm Building A Soul And A Family. I'll Tell Stories All My Life, Writing On Napkins And On The Backs Of Receipts, Or In Books If They Let Me, But This Is The Promise I Make To My God: I Will Never Again Be So Careless, So Cavalier With The Body And Soul You've Given Me. They Are The Only Things In All The World That Have Been Entrusted Entirely To Me, And I Stewarded Them Poorly, Worshiping For A Time At The Altars Of Productivity, Capability, Busyness, Distraction. This Body And Soul Will Become Again What God Intended Them To Be: Living Sacrifices, Offered Only To Him. I Will Spend My Life On Meaning, On Connection, On Love, On Freedom. I Will Not Waste One More Day Trapped In Comparison, Competition, Proving, And Earning. That's The Currency Of A Culture That Has Nothing To Offer Me. It
