Wendell Berry says, "We live the given life, not the planned."
"If the point of life is not self referential, but it is to find our identity in God, then our limits can actually be invitations to knowing God."
"We used to live more of given lives and now we have more options open to us and it's not necessarily a good thing."
"I think the invitation really is to acknowledge our weariness, to acknowledge our exhaustion, to acknowledge our broken relationships, and to come to God, come to Jesus, to begin to learn those unforced rhythms of grace."
