There is a lot of pride and arrogance in that thinking. The fear of this amazing world of people I love more than anything marching forward without me in it. Some of the quotes that encouraged and inspired me are as follows….Įvery moment seems so special. So if you are tired of the events of Christianity and want life, I would encourage you to encounter the life that Kara fought for. In her life that is broken because of cancer, she is reminding others what really matters. She saw joy in her community of people that we can miss because we think we have all the time in the world. What encouraged them and what discouraged them and she took that job in and saw joy in it. She saw each of her children and knew them. My favorite and the times that broke my heart is her cry for her children. But it is in those times, we strive to know Jesus.

She is reminding us to pursue life, love and Jesus. She does not make her story the story but she makes I want Jesus real because ultimately that is all she has and ultimately that is all we have. I think that is why so many can relate to her story. She does bare the “I don’t have it all together”. These short words of Kara’s during her battle with cancer many times left me in tears, admiring her heroism and her weakness. It is in this fight that Christianity is more about life lived instead of Christianity as an event. That has been Kara Tippets only hope in her fight and loss to cancer.
