- "from this one place I can't see very far, in this one moment I'm square in the dark. these are the things I will trust in my heart, you can see something else."
- "take me back to a window seat with clouds between my feet."
- "I'm not holding on to anything I'm not willing to let go of."
- "like the hull of a seed, this old house cracked wide open as I grew."
- "love of songs and pen, oh love of movie endings takes out the break, leaves out the bend, misses love."
- "love not of you, love not of me...not as we know it, but how it can be."
- I see the young missionary and the angry spear, I see his family returning with no trace of fear. I see the long, hard shadows of Calcutta nights, I see the sister standing by the dying man's side. I see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor, I see the man with passion come and kicking down that door. I see the man of sorrow and his long, troubled road, I see the world on his shoulders and my easy load, and when the saints go marching in, I want to be one of them."
- "I was in love with an idea, preoccupied with how a life should appear, spending my time at the surface repairing the holes in the shiny veneer."
- "and I just showed up for my own life, and I'm standing here taking it in, and it sure feels bright."
- "and I am the moon with no light of my own, still you have made me to shine."
- "sometimes it's hard to tell what to keep and what to kill, what of this makes us who we are? all that we love the most, all that we cannot let go -how much of change can we survive?"
- "love and pride can't occupy the same places, baby."
- "I think we've figured out this world is bigger than you and I."
- "I don't claim to have found the Truth, but I know it has found me."
- "I've done every devotional, been every place emotional, trying to hear a new word from God, and I think it's very odd that while I attempt to help myself my bible sits upon the shelf with every promise."
- "I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt, leaving out what it lacked. the future seems so hard and I want to go back, but the places that used to fit me cannot hold the things I"ve learned.those roads closed off to me while my back was turned."
- "I don't doubt your sovereignty, I doubt my own ability to hear what you're saying and to do the right thing, and I desperately want to do the right thing."
- "Now, I live and breathe for an audience of one, 'cause this journey is my own."
