“Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfec...” — John Piper Quote

Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.

God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings. He is looking for people who will leave father and mother and homeland or anything else that may hold them back from a life of love under the wings of Jesus.

The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie.

When people think about 'thinking,' they often think 'academia;' they think 'threat.' They think 'coldness.' I want to reverse all those images and say, 'No, the brain God gave you is intended to throw fuel on the fire of your affections for God. It's really good at it if you let it.'

Now that I look back, all the things that I was teased about, became game changers and my strengths. That's what we have to learn as mothers. We push our children so much to be perfect, but it's their imperfections that make them unique.

I don't want to be self-mythologizing, but I do feel like, growing up, on TV, there weren't a lot of young Black women who I felt actually looked like me or people I knew, or were allowed to have imperfections.

I think as long as you wear your imperfections on your sleeve, people respect it more.

I try and keep my pictures as natural as possible and try not to use too many filters, because now, it is such a world of making everything look so perfect, that in fact, it is the imperfections in people that are really unique and special. So, I try and get that across to people.
