The Grief and Glory of Goodbyes: When God Says It's Time to Go
“God has made you courageous. He has made you bold. You may not see the truth fully, but we see it. You are God’s girl, full of grace and fire. And together we are a force to be reckoned with, a threat to the darkness and a light to the broken."
-Becky Beresford for "God's Brave Women"
