QUOTES
17:26 "Will we be safe here? And there was a decision point. I almost turned around and went back in the plane, but I realized now that the kind of commitment that is required of military families and military spouses is every bit as all-consuming as it is for the military member."
34:43 "We decided that if you're still having problems by December, you can come home, but you've always told us that you cannot quit and you can't come home. I was like, oh my God, I hung up. And like TC said, that was a defining moment in your life."
39:38 "I randomly opened my Bible and it opened to Jeremiah, the first chapter, and my eyes went to verse four and it was like the earth shook. Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you."
41:21 "The mandate that was placed on my life that night was, I mean, it was a completely life changing experience. And I realized that God does know who we are.
He knows us by name. It doesn't matter where we are, Chad. He knows us personally."
