Book Quotes
Here’s a sample of the book quotes from “Empty Nest Awakening”. Download the document for the full list of quotes.
- “I don’t know when it happened, but I had forgotten how to play, how to enjoy, and how to simply be.”
- “Your life is so full it seems you can’t possibly add another thing. You may be so exhausted you don’t have the strength to do one more thing. And yet, sometimes, you wish for something of your own. Maybe it’s the dream of a new thing, or perhaps it’s simply reviving an old hobby you used to love.”
- “If God gave us all the steps at once, we’d be far less likely to walk with Him, wouldn’t we? We would run ahead. And we would miss the joy.“
- “Ask God for wisdom. Trust the process and don’t rush it; every step is an integral part of your growth. No experience is wasted. You’re not behind; you’re right on time.”
- “Community grows opportunity. If you don’t take advantage of it, you’ll stay stuck right where you are.”
