    Love all the quotes, but the one by Stephanie Bryant stood out to me. Unfortunately, I’ve met bloggers that are all godliness online, but nothing like that in person. Sad. It makes me hesitant to blog because I’m afraid of putting up a false front, too. It’s hard to know how to keep the balance of keeping private stuff private and still being real.

      I love that quote too Leslie! Her whole session was amazing! I like the language of it “the promise” to be here just as I am in other places – like church, with my family or anywhere. Good stuff to ponder!
