God is with you in the spectacular, and he’s with you in the regular. There is dignity in both places. - Jennifer Dukes Lee

Why do we live in this cycle of validation, swept up by the empty promises of the Love Idol, only to sink down when someone rejects us? We make frenetic jumps from island to island between tidal waves of insecurity. Beth Moore says culture has “thrown us under the bus. We have a fissure down the spine of our souls.”[22] We want to keep up appearances. We want to avoid criticism. We treat our lives like a stat sheet, trying to keep score the world’s way.

Happiness isn’t a destination. It’s a journey. And sometimes the journey is hard.

A scarcity mindset believes there will never be enough. A Growing Slow mindset trusts there will be more.
