When we shrug and say we don't care, it's usually a lie. Every girl cares. We've just been taught not to expose ourselves by showing it. What the world needs now is girls and women who aren't afraid to care - who are done saying, 'Whatever.'
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I don't want to take anything to the grave. I want to die used up and emptied out. I don't want to carry around anything I don't have to. I want to travel light.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Nothing separates a woman or a family from God's love. Not death, and certainly not divorce.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
If you're not okay, you might as well not pretend you are, especially since life has a way of holding us down until we utter that magic word: help! That's when angels rush to your side.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Book tours are super hard for me as a raging introvert. I love humanity, but actual humans are hard for me. So something like a book tour - where I'm constantly on the road - scares the hell out of me.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
A safe life includes following your dreams with the full knowledge that doing so is not, in any way, shape or form, safe in the traditional meaning of the word. Because living safely means dying without too many regrets. That is safe.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
The Internet has become my enabler. It keeps me from stillness and discomfort, and this keeps me from growing.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Christianity asserts that God made himself human. Those are two different categories - two different levels of worthiness. God is one category, and human is another. That's a downgrade. After that jump, there are no more categories - no more downgrades. There are no human levels of worthiness. There is no hierarchy in God's eyes.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I snap at people I love all the time, and that makes me feel bad about myself. I want to be Zen. I am so not Zen. Whatever Zen is, I'm the opposite of it.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Young people: marry simply, start your life, and party later. Think of how much babysitting for your future colicky baby you could buy with that wedding budget. Think of how much marriage therapy you could buy. Invest in your marriage, not your wedding.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
It is suggested to us a million times a day that our bodies are projects. They aren't. Our lives are. Our spirituality is. Our relationships are. Our work is.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I am not bound to spend my precious days on Earth trying to keep up with the Joneses - because the Joneses are really just a bunch of folks in conference rooms changing 'trends' rapidly to create fake monthly emergencies for us.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Often, we need to ignore the words people say and attend to their underlying, urgent, life or death questions: Am I valuable? Am I loved? The great thing is that the answer is easy: Yes! The answer is always yes. We don't have to think too hard.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I believe in people because I believe in God. I think God knew what God was doing when God made each of us.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
We should live out our particular brand of faith, sure - but we should never force our brand of faith upon anyone else. All violence starts with the desire to change others and then never, ever ends.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
One day we will finally see that when we reject any person or group of people, we reject a part of our very selves. All are one. All are in. All are God's beloved children with a place at the table.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Sometimes when you love someone like a mother loves her child, that love can turn into fear. It happens to me all the time. I am so afraid that the world will not be kind to my children.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
When folks decide they love any institution more than the individual souls inside them, they're missing the mark.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
It blows my mind when I actually consider that men are as human as I am. How can you possibly be as human and have all of the thoughts and feelings that I have and never be able to talk about it, ever? Guys are in desperate need of truth telling. They are in desperate need of a revolution.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Love is kind, right? It's not about calling someone out on every little thing you feel.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I realized I didn't just want to parent children in my own little home but to mother the whole world. What's the point of gaining influence if you're not going to use it?
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
If we are going to ask for our daily bread, we've got to take the time to receive it and eat it. God provide, but we've got to slow down long enough to taste and see.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Habits are learned. And children learn their habits by watching what we do, not by listening to what we say. So we have to stop talking and teaching and preaching and just go do.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I think that in order to parent effectively, we are going to have to admit two things: We can't keep our children safe. We can't accept the fact that we can't keep our children safe.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
The most important thing on Earth is for all of us to make this sentence true: Compassion is what people do.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I'm not big on faith rules, but if I had to choose one, it would be that every person must choose a faith issue upon which to hang her hat that requires her to change - not somebody else.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I used to choose friends based on similarity in age and life stage, but I've learned that those were the wrong criteria. Trying to live life exclusively alongside others our own age is like attempting to climb Mt. Everest without a Sherpa. It's a little dangerous.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
The closer you get to people who are different than you, the more you learn that we're all same.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I am not, at the end of the day, a mother, a wife, a writer, an activist, a friend. I am a child of God. That's who I was when I came into this world and who I'll be when I leave it. No one can take that from me.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Do not measure your marriage by how much love you feel today: measure it by how much love you've offered today.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
We are - each and every one of us - unlearning misogyny. It's going to take some time. But be aware and active of your prejudices. Notice when they kick in and resist. Fight to stay soft and open. Step back and squint hard.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
The Internet is neither good nor bad. It's neutral - it becomes for each of us exactly what we bring to it.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I hated writing 'Love Warrior.' It's the hardest thing I've every written. I cried.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
The fact that we define ourselves by our roles can be an admirable thing - it's how we build a life and make a living. But it's also precarious. Roles change. Sometimes overnight.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I've seen my name on marquees and bowed to standing ovations. I've also been called a fraud, a mental case, a heretic. People all over the country wait in line to hug me or curse me.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Questions are like gifts - it's the thought behind them that the receiver really feels. We have to know the receiver to give the right gift and to ask the right question. Generic gifts and questions are all right, but personal gifts and questions feel better.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Many of us spend the first part of our adult lives becoming - stepping into the roles we take on so that they come to define our lives. But I've learned that we don't really grow up until we unbecome.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I can't even carpe 15 minutes in a row. So a whole diem is out of the question.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
I ask only child-free pals for parenting advice because they're the only ones sane and well-rested enough to have any real insight.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
Making sensible family rules around cell phones and driving is a way to love yourself, your marriage, your children, and the world well.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
One of the reasons we stay so alone in our lives is because we're ashamed to talk about the hard stuff. It's as simple as that. We're all in pain in different ways, and we don't get the help we need because we're too ashamed to talk about the pain.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
We are all trained by Disney to believe that the wedding is the finish line, but the wedding is just another starting line. In light of this fact, we should quit the huge, fancy, debt-inducing weddings.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
When in doubt, I choose love above any particular ideas offered to me about faith.
Quote by -Glennon Doyle Melton
If grace isn't shocking and countercultural and scandalous and a little ridiculous, then it's not Grace.
