@sava_laur I’m just throughly confused as to how Kim Jong Un suddenly isn’t a crazy paranoid narcissist anymore...?

Abby (17) on responsibility:
“Honestly, I can live on it, but it’s toxic. It’s really bad for me.” 😂

Paul has such good things to say to us about how to live in these times:

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.” (2 Corinthians 2:14)

@abbyjperry Oh wow, yes. I have always found this song to be mildly irksome, but had no idea why because I generally love all things Death Cab. THANK YOU. 🙌🏻

I know Jesus Christ Superstar is on and everything, but like, I’ve been marathoning Star Wars all day with my dad, so who’s really missing out here?

"Silent Saturday" is a powerful reminder that just because God "appears" silent or absent doesn't mean that God isn't at work and in control.

These are difficult and challenging days. Be faithful. Press on. Remember, God is not yet done.

Ok, I’m back from trauma laughing. Ready for some more resistance.

[Lauren Clifton @LCliffyCliff]

I’m at the point with this administration where my only reaction left is trauma laughter. https://t.co/jk22qEnb0n

The White House has released this photo of Trump with the White House spring interns. Diversity this ain’t.

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say ‘My tooth is aching’ than to say ‘My heart is broken’.”

The Problem of Pain

[Lauren Clifton @LCliffyCliff]

@lexie_coyle Yes, all the time. I do enjoy quality time, but because I live in my thoughts so much, I genuinely forget to initiate it. And then I’m always surprised at how much I enjoy quality time when it happens haha. 😂

Forgiveness is so much more than telling the offender. That’s important, but then the responsibility is on you to do the daily hard work of forgiveness.

@JBsTwoCents As a human and a photographer, I do not understand at all the reason for this photo and it frustrates me to no end.

[Lecrae @lecrae]

God can do it.

“My brain resents the idea of revealing myself as anything but carefully brewed, delicately decanted, and meticulously presented in the finest china.” (@abbyjperry)

Mm. I wasn’t ready for that to be as true as it is for me. 😅 https://t.co/WeeAB3yViP
