Skimmed this one in 2021 - rereading this month with new eyes and focus

“We are all the same, I think. If only we would talk to each other like we do in a crisis, then we would see how similar we are.”

“We are all the same, I think. If only we would talk to each other like we do in a crisis, then we would see how similar we are.”

The path to exaltation lies through the valley of suffering. And this is why the Scriptures repeatedly indicate that it is the calling of Christians to suffer in a certain way.

Having a time pressing through, but I’m determined to finish it!

“God is committed to helping us mature, and to do this, he sometimes withdraws from our conscious experience by deliberately making himself less obvious and less immediately available and by allowing some of our prayers to remain unanswered.

My heart can barely handle this story 😭

“I think your grandmother was very disappointed in me.”
“Maybe she was disappointed in you because you’re disappointed in yourself.”
💔💘 this book!

“You can’t kill a nightmare, but you can scare it. And there’s nothing so feared by nightmares as milk and cookies.”

“If you can’t get rid of the bad you have to top it up with more goody stuff.” ❤️ Gonna file this one away as a parenting tip

“The only chains God wants us to wear are the chains of righteousness- not the chains of hopeless subjectivism, not the shackles of risk free living, not the fetters of horoscope decision making - just the chains befitting a bond servant of Jesus Christ. Die to self. Live for Christ. And then do what you want, and go where you want, for God’s glory.”

"The only thing the sport gives us are moments. But what the hell is life apart from moments?"

Sooo good!!!!

Sooo good!!!!

Made it through the prologue! This is an undertaking.
