There are few things more devastating than a crisis of faith and a crisis of mental health. One takes away your foundation, the other throws you in the deep end. I've been trying to fix both, but God showed me He is building my foundation and raising me up.

@planetJoseph I feel this to the core. Identifying my key problem (distraction) has helped so much, but it can really be discouraging.

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

@TheCinesthetic This is the right answer.

67, 67--have we all forgotten 42?

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

@trad_poet Very true. The movies really were a success, it's just harder to see from the perspective of a rabid Tolkien reader, which I will freely acknowledge.

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

@ThePearlMag Hey, you asked.

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

@nimgaladh It's a shame no one remembers just how good of a horror writer Tolkien could be.

@BWheelerBooks Marketing myself while getting my eyes tested has interestingly been the most successful campaign.

This is so hard to accept, but it bears such good fruit.

You can be accepting of your circumstances without giving into despair. It can only be done, however, when you are honest with yourself in a spirit of humility and trust in God's plan for you

I used to call myself a failure.
And let's not sugarcoat it. I wasted my time yesterday evening. It would have been healthier to read a book or take a nap.
But you know what I've learned?
I AM NOT DEFINED BY NIGHTS LIKE THESE.

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

I used to call these nights a failure.
Had a really good day today. Started the morning with worship, went through my tasks without feeling stressed.
Then I got home, scrolled for a couple hours, and am just about to eat takeout.
But I am not a failure.

@mirela_9032 Right, a random guy trying to do elf-y things. And it just doesn't hit.

@plottwistgirlie Let's make this a movement. They can't stop us all.

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

@sierratastet Exactly!

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

I have big goals: become a bestselling author (and maybe someday a big name in fantasy/science fiction). But if my books don't sell or if I never even get published, have I failed? To reach my goal, perhaps, but my life's purpose should be to serve God.

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

@LOTR_Daily_ Not to say, of course, that Tolkien hasn't been commercialized for a while already. But even if I don't think the films were great book adaptions, I do think they were beautiful movies and a brilliant quality effort. After that, though. . . we all saw what happened to The Hobbit.

[Sarah Elizabeth Sax @SarahESax]

@LOTR_Daily_ I don't know for sure, but Hunt for Gollum and the Stephen Colbert movie have me worried. That's not even getting into RoP (leaving the anime out of this because I haven't seen it). We're seeing the commercialization of Tolkien, in my opinion.
