NOTES

Bent and broken : striving to please -- Unworthy : striving for attention -- Just amazing enough to not need grace : striving to be good enough -- The welcome we long for : striving for approval -- Pressure to perform : striving to save ourselves through perfection -- The lunchroom : striving to belong -- Honor and shame : striving to outrun shame -- The gift : striving to have it all -- Grace makes new, not better -- Grace fuels good works -- Grace cancels our debt, for real -- Grace rewrites our stories -- Grace replaces fear with freedom -- Grace makes forgiveness possible -- Grace is enough to hold you together

"Bestselling author, entrepreneur, and speaker Ruth Chou Simons calls women to discover how God's profound gift of grace and favor invites them to rest from chasing approval and earning love, and instead discover the freedom of true belonging and worth that doesn't depend on them"--
