“My library was expanding faster than my character was transforming.”

I’m humbled by these words! They ring so true - in my pursuit of transformation I’m so quick to think that metabolizing information is the path to get there. Lead on!

Thanks, Jonathan - I’ve found the same to be true. First, the ego must be exposed and seen in the light of truth. Once we can see our False Self, we are ready to find our True Self. ♥️

So glad to hear from your progress on the book. May I never age out of the humbling truth that transformation is a sloooooooow process. And vulnerability in the midst of it is our friend. God is so kind to those who seek Him.

Grateful for your vulnerability! I especially identify with coffee, books and fast food being the fuel to help you rally the enthusiasm to continue on. ☺️ So much of our growth happens in the midst of life’s ordinary moments, I’m learning. Thank you for sharing it all - the real and raw along with the sacred and holy. 🙌🏼
