“It occurs to me then that in my effort to be positive, optimistic, and understanding, I might’ve made myself into an unreliable narrator of sorts, someone who can’t easily be trusted not to sugarcoat things.”

YEAH YEAH EXACTLY YEAH NO SEE that’s WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO ME TOO I FEEL THAT

literally CACKLED at the dialogue between Alice and Hayden because the incessant question asking is soooooo me in convos with people

feeling so seen by miss henry rn

“One more question.”
“Anything.”…
Her gray eyebrow arches wickedly again. “Are you always this perky?”
I let out a breath. This is too lengthy and important a job to kick things off with a lie.
“Yes,” I say. “Yes, I am.”

Alice is me and I am Alice. That is all.

i’ve been rereading the Bjndjng 13 series which is gargantuan so i’ve not been tracking on goodreads

The call to follow at once produces a new situation... to make it clear from the start that His word is not an abstract doctrine, but the Recreation of the whole life of man. The only right and proper way is quite literally to go with Jesus. The call to follow implies that there is only one way of believing in Jesus Christ, and that is by leaving all and going with the incarnate Son of God.
LEAVE ALL AND GO WITH!

the cost of grace is discipleship and discipleship can only happen because of grace !!!!!
and it’s a costly calling because it’s a costly grace ! it cost the life of the Son of God, so the calling to discipleship to the So , which allows for grace to be received, is naturally going to be costly! it should cost you your whole worldly life!

not to be cliche but i’m a sucker for a grand gesture
so corny so cringe i love it

“We did not attack them,” answered Thorin; “we came to beg, because we were starving.”
“Where are your friends now, and what are they doing?”
“I don't know, but I expect starving in the forest.”
“What were you doing in the forest?”
“Looking for food and drink, because we were starving.”

“The only scrap of comfort there was, came unexpectedly from Bombur.
He woke up suddenly and sat up scratching his head.”

“When he heard that there was nothing to eat, he sat down and wept, for he felt very weak and wobbly in the legs”

FELT. felt this one in my bones and soul. me the moment i get even a little peckish.

“It is no use arguing. I have, as I told you, some pressing business away south…We may meet again before all is over…That depends on your luck and on your courage and sense; and I am sending Mr. Baggins with you…Think of the treasure at the end…”

it’s giving Jesus telling the disciples he’s gonna die but he’s sending the Holy Spirit to guide them? am i crazy?

“And don't be silly! You had better go to bed, your wits are sleepy.”
