Great quotes from Janna:
Being a parent is my greatest adventure.
Good, bad, or ugly, no matter what you describe about the spiritual realm, it sounds scary.
His pursuit of me was greater than my ability to misunderstand him.
Prayer was never meant to be a monologue.
Never fall for the trap that God has rejected you.
