Great quotes from Michael:
In that imperfection with each other in relationships that are broken and with broken people we still see the glory of God and the goodness of God and that is a beautiful picture to me.
I don’t care what your dream is. I care that you’re living in it.
God does have a purpose for you and you are so much more significant than you realize.
