Slow progress this week as I finish up a few other projects, but couldn't resist squeezing in a chapter this afternoon while I could! 😊

Starting ch. 5

Okay, I can see what they mean about the narration in this one, but the story itself is promising, and I do like Emelle's style. Glad to see she worked on both books!

"Living in fear was not an abundant life, but how was she supposed to move torward that promise? Fear was a shield. She wasn't living abundantly; she was safe."

Safety is not the be-all-end-all. It's nice, but abundance does not spring forth from safety... And Jesus came that we may have life abundantly. This is a lesson for the world.

"The way I figure it, we are His children. You ever think of that? The maker of the sunset each night loves us as his kids. I think he'd rather dump a heap of blessings on us, but soon is here, too, and working its consequences throughout everything. He knows we hurt. But he also knows how many hairs are on your head and how the sunlight shines through your eyes when you smile." (Zeke)
