Quote #10
God is Change, and in the end, God does prevail. But we have something to say about the whens and the whys of that end. (24.2)
In this passage, Lauren is emphasizing that yep, God/change does win out in the end. That's what prevails. In other words, not even a prodigy such as Lauren can control everything. But, she argues, we're definitely empowered to at least significantly influence what happens: we have something to say about the whens and the whys.
