For parents who feel they've messed up and done everything wrong...


"I was raised in a secular home. Jessica (her daughter) was raised in a legalistic home.... God uses failures in fantastic ways. It's not all up to you. ... The beautiful reality is, your work isn't going to save your kids. You can relax. You do not know how God will work. Be weak and throw yourself on the mercy of God."
Elyse Fitzpatrick

"He prayed to the LORD, "O LORD,.... I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity." Jonah 4:2
