Groundedness Quotes

• I want to cultivate a deep sense of gratitude, of groundedness, of enough, even while I'm longing for something more. The longing and the gratitude, both. I'm practicing believing that God knows more than I know, that he sees what I can't, that he's weaving a future I can't even imagine from where I sit this morning.

• As I entered this world, I would leave behind the nurturing of my family and my home, but in another sense I would take their protection with me.
