Did I just use my audible credit on Forgive? Yep I sure did. Do I feel like I need to start watching chosen TONIGHT. Yep I sure do. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Did you just put ninja, mouth guard, MASH, and Mercy all in one essay?? Yes. Yes you did. And did I track with all of it? Yes. Yes I did. Excited for these Ask Katie letters. Im gonna think of a good one.

Okay, is the mouth guard the giant rectangle that sits on your bottom four front teeth and makes your lip stick out? Because--fellow grinder here--I also hate mine and have been waiting to get used to it for like six months. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Also, this got me good: โ€œIf I ever stop talking about it, stop reading my work and move on to someone who does.โ€ Now, brb, I need to order this TK book.

Loved the same line Molly loved---also ordering TKโ€™s book now as itโ€™s been sitting in my Amazon โ€œsave for laterโ€ for too long. I am a long time bite splint wearer and I must say: stick with it, itโ€™s worth it. I damaged my back molars terribly, donโ€™t let your stress have the final word on your precious teeth! I wish I could make all the teeth grinding go away for all of us who store our stress in our jaws as we sleep, but Iโ€™ll settle for gently encouraging you that the awkwardness is worth it in the long run โค๏ธ

With you crushing on all things TK and The Chosen ๐Ÿ˜ญโค๏ธ Currently re-reading the freedom of self forgetfulness for the billionth time - Forgive is next! I donโ€™t know if thereโ€™s

been an episode of the chosen where I havenโ€™t lolโ€™d and weeped in equal measure. Not everyone shares my love for it but it just gets to my storyteller heart!!!

I just finished Forgive last week. So, so good! (As is anything Tim Keller writes, of course.)

Just laughing and nodding and wiping little tear droplets from the corners of my eyes with you. So glad you share and encourage. And I clearly need to delve deeper into Timothy Keller's work; I recall being impressed with one I read years ago but haven't picked up others yet. Thanks for the reminder.

I enjoyed this so much. First of all, fellow mouth guard mama over here. ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Iโ€™m still convinced I donโ€™t grind my teeth, but my husband would definitely argue against that. Second of all, my small group at church has been constantly recommending The Chosen to me and I finally started to watch it. SO GOOD!

As always love all your writing! I feel like I'm chatting with a friend โœจ And that bit of forgiveness... Don't we always need reminders how much we've been forgiven? How much we need God's mercy so desperately? We just had a wonderful sermon on that topic!

Going to start referring to myself as a ninja, thank you so much for leveling up my game with this. Also adding TK's book to my list AND The Chosen! I completely forgot about that series, but I've been hearing amazing things!
