Kindle Notes & Highlights
There are things I have to lay down and others I need to embrace. Right choices that are good—they hit your heart. We are wired to know what they are and they make us solid. We can stand on them.
All real lives hold controversy, trials, mistakes, and regrets. What matters is what you do next.”
“Artists create things that point us to beauty, to truth, to God.”
The thing to do sometimes is not what’s right, but what’s best.”
that’s what the Brontës did best—convey truth within their stories. They pushed characters through choice and change, making them pay the consequences for bad decisions and only giving them that elusive happy ending when they got it right and rose from the crucible cleansed, strong, and whole. They spared nothing. The crucible was hot. It was death for some. Enduring great cruelty for others. Fire for one. Illness for many.
I thank my Maker, that, in the midst of judgment, he has remembered mercy. I humbly entreat my Redeemer to give me strength to lead henceforth a purer life than I have done hitherto.
every choice along the way matters and they have real consequences.
