“that no matter what the phase of the family, no matter what the stage of one of my children, I am here with them in covenant because God is with them in covenant. And if God loves them just the way they are, then so will I. And if Jesus gave up everything for them, then I can sacrifice too. And if the Holy Spirit is with us, then I’ll never leave either.”

CRYINNNNGGGGGGGGGG

“Grace means that our failures don’t have to set us back, they can call us forward. Grace means our mistakes aren’t nearly so much opportunities to see how bad we are, but opportunities to see how good God is. Grace means that even though parenting by itself doesn’t make us less selfish, parenting in the hands of God does—it sanctifies us.”

“I suddenly had the kind of clarity of thought that can come only with the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and I thought, “You’re trying to use your anger to control him when you should be using your love to console him.”

“This is the great burden and blessing of parenting—we have the opportunity and the duty to seek out our children and use conversation to help heal the pain that we all carry. Trauma and secrets can burn us up from the inside out,3 but conversation is what turns those destructive fires of our own fallenness into the refining fire of God’s grace. And so often it comes through the grace of conversation.”

“Just remember that the little things you habitually do in front of your kids is an enormous part of the marriage legacy you leave them, and that’s not a burden, that’s a gift and an opportunity.”

Wow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨

“In the story of God, the strength of the household depends on the strength of marriage.”

OKUUUURRRR

“If you’re so concerned about my humanity, Elena, then reach into my soul and find it, because I’m not sure I have any left.”

“You never notice what’s keeping you balanced until you realize you’re not standing straight anymore.”

Crying in the club

“Every piece, every memory, every minute, every inch. This isn’t going to be some casual dalliance. This isn’t going to be temporary. I want you soul, mind, and body. I want your trust and your thoughts. I want your past, your present, your future. So make very certain that you want me for the right reasons. Be certain that you’re choosing this, because once you do, there’s no turning back.”
SIR OH MY

“Why is it that a man can make you feel like nothing, when you have given him everything? “

Crying for Auren 😭🥺

“I’m saying that you are my own good. And for you, I gave you a choice, but you chose him.”

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

“I’ve taken it personally, and I probably shouldn’t have, but you can’t reason with feelings. They do what they want, forcing you to endure. All you can do is grit your teeth and take it, hoping that time will dull it down.”
🥺😮‍💨

I’m so mad. Auren what did you think was gonna happen ?! UGH. 😑

“You may not be behind bars anymore, but you’re still in that cage. And I think part of you wants to stay in there because you’re afraid.”

“I think another part of you, the part you repress, is ready to be free.”

COMMANDER RIP !! 👏🏼

“You see nothing.”
“Oh, I do,” he counters, voice low, rough, like two stones clashing together, trying to ignite. “I can’t wait to see the rest of you. When you let it go, when you finally let that out, your fury is going to light up the spirit you’ve shadowed.” He looks like someone who’s won, boasting in superiority. “I hope you burn so bright that you scorch your Golden King down to ash.”

“Are people so content in ignorance that they’ll believe every lie fed to them, despite what they see right in front of their eyes? Then again, perhaps it isn’t ignorance. Maybe it’s just...fear. They don’t want to even consider the alternative. It would make people uneasy, make it hard to sleep at night.“
