Sarah Bessey Quotes

When I Tried To Meet Some Impossible Standard For Motherhood, Tried To Earn My Way To A Weird Sort Of Proverbs 31 Woman Club, I Collapsed In Exhaustion And Simmering Anger, Sadness, And Failure. This Was Not Life In The Vine, This Exhausting Job Description; This Was Not The Kingdom Of God, Let Alone A Redeemed Woman Living Full. This Was The Shell Of Someone Trying To Measure Up, Trying To Earn Through Her Mothering What God Had Already Freely Given. This Was Someone Feeling The Weight Of Unmet Expectations From The Church And Her Own Self And The World All At Once.
