Great quotes from Julia:
Growth is about unlearning what we think we know that isn’t so.
He will blow our minds in order to get to our hearts.
The hard is designed to be a blessing in our lives.
We want the dream. God wants our hearts.
The in-between is not designed to break you; it’s designed to make you.
