#1 That plant in your house. It’s a reminder that life won’t ever be easy, but God is always good.

#2 The end of your life is the beginning of another one. It’s in your ending that you will find the perfect beginning in Christ.

#3 I wrote this book for all the women in my life. I wrote it for me. -> I wrote this book for the woman who desires abundant life in Christ, but also finds herself craving more of this world – more affirmation, more money, and more accomplishments. She is hungry to embrace Christ’s grace, but she struggles to live this out when her child is throwing a tantrum, when her roommate betrays her, or when her emotions rage and throw their own tantrum.

#4 The Well-Watered Woman isn’t the perfect woman. She’s fueled by the undeserved grace of God, not by her ambitions to be a good girl. She recognizes that the good within her comes from God alone.

I wrote this book for the woman who desires abundant life in Christ, but also finds herself craving more of this world. She is hungry to embrace Christ’s grace, but she struggles to live this out when her child is throwing a tantrum, when her roommate betrays her, when her emotions rage and throw their own tantrum, or when her life feels like a hamster wheel.

The Well-Watered Woman isn’t the perfect woman. She’s fueled by the undeserved grace of God, not by her ambitions to be a good girl. She recognizes that the good within her comes from God alone.
