And I've just never been the same.”-“It’s not enough to love Him, but you have to surrender yourself, your identity to Him."-“I've come to know that He is in charge of my identity. I don't pick an identity. He chooses that identity for me.”-“When I'm living in His plan and being obedient, things get better when I get better.”Follow Katharine and Eternal Echoes:Facebook and Instagram: @EternalEchoesMinistrySubstack: http://katharinerrose.substack.comWebsite: www.eternalechoesministry.comEmail: ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠ for speaking events or interviewsWatch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5Ace8pKaFE
