Quotes

I love belly laughing. When you can feel your stomach shaking when you laugh. That should be the one thing I love today.

As I read The Shack by William Young I underlined some resonating sentences or ideas. Here are a few:

"I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside."

"Humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that [God] has for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in [God's] image."

"[Holy Spirit] She is Creativity; she is Action; she is the Breathing of Life"

"But without wisdom, imagination is a cruel taskmaster."

"Each choice ripples out through time and relationships, bouncing off of other choices. And out of what seems to be a huge mess, [God] weaves a magnificant tapestry."

"It is not the nature of love to force a relationship but it is the nature of love to open the way"

And I will leave you with this,

"Just because [God] works incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn't mean [He] orchestrates the tragedies. Don't ever assume that his using something means He caused it or needs it to accomplish His purposes. Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colours."

My stomach shakes even when I walk. I don't love it.
