Great quotes from Stephanie:

On occasion, God shows such grace as to reveal himself to those not seeking him.

If you do not see Jesus as the most beautiful lover of your soul, just ask the Holy Spirit to do that work to make you fall in love with him again.

I had tasted the chocolate and there was no going back.

Seasons of relative darkness highlight the light.

If something else besides Christ could have saved us, God would have given it.
