From “Shadow of the Almighty”: Jim Elliot on facing fear of things in the future - “Remember that the shadow a thing casts often far exceeds the thing itself, and though some future fear may strut brave darkness as you approach, the thing itself will seem but a speck when seen from behind”.

This is exactly why I love tumblr so much. I’ve tried blogging multiple times (and still have a proper blog that I update infrequently), but never found the perfect “voice”. But I still had a desire to share. tumblr makes it easy to “have a voice”, but not feel compelled to meet some standard about what a “real” blog should be.

She’s beginning to make the turn to good health - which is to say she’s just past the “Lord take me now, death can’t be much worse than this” stage. So...
