No Longer Defined by My Past

• “I have no comfort zone. I will tell anybody anything if it will point them to the grace of God.”

• “They saw past all the ick and said, ‘At the heart, she is a woman that needs to know Jesus,’ and so they just loved me right into the kingdom.”

• “God and His faithfulness waited.”

• “We all found ways to numb the pain of not being part of the right crowd and created our own crowd.”

• “For me, I am a girl who likes community, and I wanted that above all.”

• “When it says in Scripture, ‘He gives you the desires of your heart,’ it doesn’t mean He gives you every little thing your heart desires; it means He places in your heart the desires He would have for you.”

• “Some of it He dealt with honestly very quickly. . . . That is what I needed. Everybody is different. Some of us are weaned off the old life, and that doesn’t mean that you didn’t hear the Lord correctly or you’re disobedient.” 

• “The path for each of us is so unique; the Savior, though, is one and the same.”

• “We all share a kind of badness, and we all struggle with shame around badness. And my badness may not look like your badness, and yours may not look like mine. But we share it; and if we could just love each other in our badness and accept and not judge . . . wow, what a world that could be.”
