We are free from saving ourselves or pretending we are…
““We are free from saving ourselves or pretending we are strong. We are free from mothering our children in certain ways in order to obtain approval from other women. Our children are free from the unfair burden of becoming our saviors or proving our worth. (And all God’s children said, “Amen!”) And the elect among the nations are free to see and savor the sufficiency of Christ, not the imperialism of the physically, economically, or socially privileged women.””
