    Cindy Rollins
    “It seemed that I had worked passionately for nineteen years on a beautiful product and, in the end, he had become something entirely different than I intended. I did not recognize him at all. How could I go on creating beautiful pottery pieces if they weren't going to turn out as I had intended or hoped? Until one day I had an epiphany. I was not the potter. A potter was shaping my children, but it was not me. . .My son was not my product. He was the work of a great artist: the Creator of all”

    Cindy Rollins
    “Motherhood is a high calling. Civilization depends upon motherhood. I do not believe you should lose yourself so thoroughly in your motherhood that that is all you are. That is not healthy for you or your family. But I do think women need to know that motherhood is a high-value commodity in the market of civilization.”
    Cindy Rollins, Mere Motherhood: Morning Times, Nursery Rhymes, and My Journey toward Sanctification

    “The only reason I know that is because my mom made it the alarm code at the library,' I quickly explain. 'Oops,' I say, covering my hand with my hand.

    least qualified person to lead this club.'

    Right now, it felt like Red was in the shaping stage.
    She couldn't wait for it to be over.
    "Trust Him, Redwyn," Halda murmured. "Stop trying to endure the fire on your own.”

    “You want stability, child? Grandma Sue's lecture comes to mind. Ask God what job He has for you. You want something that'll guarantee stability and fulfillment? God will provide, Shug. God will provide.
    I square my shoulders, narrowing my eyes right at her. "God gave me the gifts of singing and songwriting, so that's what I'm going to do." And I leave the stage with my head held high, as if I was born to be there.”
    Allyson Kennedy, The Fall

    Allyson Kennedy
    “My point is, sometimes letting go of things we care about can cause greater things to come our way. Think of Job in the Bible. Satan used him as his plaything and took all the man had. But Job, he kept his faith. He loved God, knew true love, and didn't let the worldly things sway him. And God blessed him for it, with twice as much as he had before.”
    Allyson Kennedy, The Fall

    “We _are_ rich,' said Anne staunchly. 'Why, we have sixteen years to our credit, and we are as happy as queens and we've all got imaginations, more or less.

    “When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.”
    Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

    “When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I am going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own, that bend, Marilla. I wonder how the road beyond it goes - what there is of green glory and soft, checkered light and shadows - what new landscapes - what new beauties - what curves and hills and valleys farther on.”
    L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

    “But maybe everything'll go all right. In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take what ever God sends.”

    L.M. Montgomery
    “After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”
    L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
