“I am dragged out, kicking and screaming, by my own trust in Christ. And yet it is only in the miraculous power of the Word of God to win that trust, to create the John who understands, the John who trusts Christ.

And what kind of Word is it?

It is the Word of what Christ has done.”

“Those thoughts and feelings, this anguish and distress, that scream and pull, are not going anywhere. And yet, I am.

I am passing through them, passing them by. I am headed somewhere else.

And where?

Out of the Realm of Ceaseless Cognition,
Out of dependence on myself,
Into my dependence on Christ,
Into a future provided by Mercy,
Into the ability to pay attention.”

This is going to be such a difficult read. But I’m praying God uses this to draw me near to Himself :)

Pretty good so far. Not totally understanding the Pijali stuff. I don’t like Rael. Not fully buying Obi Wan and Qui Gon’s issues. It’s sweet seeing them grow together though. Love Pax so much.
