“Adventures are funny things.
Many are merely happy accidents—a single spark that ignites an unexpected chain of events.
But some adventures are meant for you and you alone.
And whether you want them or not, they seek you out of a great crowd and take you somewhere you never thought you’d go.
Often, these unlooked for adventures require a sacrifice too great to imagine.”
― Wayne Thomas Batson

“The truth may hurt, but it is never so agonizing as the dagger of lies we tell ourselves.”

He must have known how you would react. He trusted you to go through it.” Jeff frowned. “That’s a thought. He’s the one giving me the strength. That’s funny. I’m mad at the one giving me strength.” I hadn’t meant to be profound. It just slipped out.”
