"I’ve come to believe through this quest that I went on to understand the nature of bittersweetness is, we are creatures who are born to transform pain into beauty."

 What does God’s power look like in the lives of righteous women? It is very different from the world’s definition of power. It is not about visibility or hierarchy. It is about impact. It is soul-to-soul lifting and loving. It is teaching in the moment, one-on-one listening, understanding and discerning. It is inspiring and leading groups of women, men and children. It is straining to hear the whisperings of the spirit, and acting in courage on each small thought, all with the intent to point others to Christ. That is God’s power.
