She wasn’t bored, just restless between adventures.
That’s me in a nutshell when in-between projects or when a project is in transition. A perfect example is my novel…or should I say novels as what started out as one book…
This is one of the most important parts of the Bible for people to read often/have memorized, in my opinion. Not because its important doctrine or theology or good for answering questions about Christianity… but because it is God’s heart for YOU. for ME. And with so much swirling around us all the time - opinions, people we compare ourselves to, hurt from the past and hurt still to come… this verse is integral to our remembering who we are IN CHRIST.
[follows is Isaiah 43:1-4 in the MSG version]
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, You will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end - because I am God, your personal God, the Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you. That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the create for you.”
It’s just amazing. He would trade all creation for US. that’s hardcore love.
hate how this guy in this book im reading criticizes camus’ lack of pessimism and insists on how actually the character of meursault is closer to us than the myth of sisyphus because the physicality of life is a greater comfort than the act of rebellion like
1) why are you calling out camus’ lack of pessimism when he says that on his philosophy shines a “neverfading sun” and that he doesn’t think his philosophy can described as pessimist in the first place. like why are you criticizing a point HE DOES NOT MAKE
2) the meaning of the myth of sisyphus doesn’t have end in self-awareness and smug satisfaction for your own rebellion otherwise that’s not rebellion in itself. if you think about a rebellion born out of pride that has still a positive impact on the world around you though perhaps intrinsically meaningless as meaningless is life itself then. then how can you compare the two when one of them is a creative, continuous effort and the other is just passivity lmao
