Inspiring Quotes from Kat
“I felt the Lord say to me, ‘I want you to beat your kids to the punch - I need you to get up just a few moments before they do to meet with me, connect with me first, and let me fill you so that you can fill them.'”
“This is not just about waking up in the morning. This is about when we wake up, stepping into the presence of God, who can make all of our worries and fears go away and instead give us clarity…When we get into His presence, we have that opportunity to gain so much clarity and peace regardless of our situation. He’s like the calm in the middle of our storm. So, we can wake up and be thrown around by the storm or we can wake up and step into that center, into that calm.”
“If we meet all of our kids’ needs rather than pointing them to Jesus, what will they do when we’re gone? Us moms teaching self-sufficiency is depriving our kids of what they need most.”
“The idea is a relationship with the Lord, not holding off time with Him until we have time for in-depth Bible study.”
“A lot of times we label ourselves and limit ourselves to only what we think we can do, rather than stepping into all God has for us.”
“God is not a redundant creator. He didn’t make us to be exactly like someone else. He made each of us to be exactly who we are.”
