The prospect of going home is very appealing.

I would not care whether people thought I was special, if my life was truly special. It would not mater to me that people could see me as pious, if I could truly live as a woman scholar of piety. I want to be what I seem to be. I act as if I am specially holy, a special girl; but this is what I really want to be. I really do.

When we become proud, we operate outside the grace God only gives to the humble. Humility preserves us; pride destroys us.

My practical intelligence said no, but my heart said yes.
