to every woman...

"we need not be ashamed that our hearts ache; that we need and thirst and hunger for much more. all of our hearts ache. all of our hearts are at some level unsatisfied and longing. it is our insatiable need for more that drives us to our God. what we need to see is that all our controlling and our hiding, all our indulging, actually serves to separate us from our hearts. we lose touch with those longings that make us women. and the substitutes never, ever resolve the deeper issue of our souls."
