"Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here's my heart, Lord. Take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above."
"You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in Me." ~John 15:3,4
"If you're an introvert, you also know that the bias against quiet can cause deep psychic pain... At school you might have been prodded to come "out of your shell" - that noxious expression which fails to appreciate that some animals naturally carry shelter everywhere they go, and that some humans are just the same." ~Susan Cain, Quiet
...That happened to me in 3rd grade, when I was just being my natural, quiet self and doing well in all my school work, then suddenly felt inadequate when the teacher made a big deal of how special I could be if I'd only come out of my shell. So this quote made me happy... especially considering my life-long love of precious turtles. lol =)
