Excerpt from "What Happens When Women Say Yes to God"

"I don't wake up and think "Joy, joy, joy! I love misplaced and broken things. I love setting my table with stainless steel knives and plastic forks. I love phones with static. I love weeds and ants with messed-up smellers." No, I wake up and say, " God, I love You and choose to accept the assignments You place before me with an attitude that reflects the truth that You live in me. I know I won't do this perfectly, and I admit my inability to do this in my strength. So, I say yes to You today. I say yes to Your desire to invade my natural flesh responses. I say yes to Your forgiveness when I mess up. I say yes to persevering even when I want to give-up. I say yes to Your invitation to be obedient even when other paths seem more appealing. I say yes even as my lips desire to utter a thousand times over, 'I can't.' I say yes to loving You more.""
