Quote by Brenda Seefeldt Amodea

“We often don’t have the patience to wait. We want some control over the outcome. We want to know the outcome. We believe deeply that if we could just know the outcome we will make it through. We treat God like a vending machine with an expected outcome after we put our something in. When we do this our relationship with God is transactional.”

“God loves to meet us in that messy middle of the tunnel. And at the end of the tunnel, as well as the beginning of the tunnel. I’ve learned that it is in that messy middle that God becomes particularly “loud” in our lives. God never tells me to get over my emotions and just get past them. God meets me there in my emotional mess. Sometimes I’m so emotional I believe God has abandoned me. Until I get through that tunnel and I realize how present God always was.”

“While you were sleeping, Nirei and Suo brought those gifts to you. And I made this for you. It's because someone else that's not you... made the move. You sleep and rest and when you wake up there's food and water." "Wh- whatever. I can buy food by myself, too." "That's not what I'm trying to get through to you. Even if it's something you can do on your own... if others are doing it for you... then you're freed up to do something else. Every human can only do the things limited by the time on their clock. There's only so much you can do on your own. Well... I say that. But letting others do things for you... relying on them... is always a bit scary at first.”

“Hey Sakura? What're your thoughts after listening to Kaji?" "I-I..." "There's a lot I can't do. I do a lot of things that make me look pretty pathetic or lame. But I'm not scared. That's because everyone here will accept me, no matter what I do, so I can do anything without having to worry. That's why I think it's okay for me to do the things that others can't. 'It doesn't matter how stupid they may look', 'I still like him'. Everyone has those close connections. We depend on others and let them depend on us. We forgive them, and they forgive us. That's why we're all together. That's why it's okay, Sakura. Trust Kaji. Trust your friends. And jump right out there with everything you've got!”

“I don't know how to talk along the surface of things, but I also don't want to unearth the ugly stuff, over and over again, for people who are just passing through my life. It's depleting. Like every time I dole out a kernel of my history to someone who's not going to be a fixture in my life, a piece of me gets carried away, somewhere I can never get it back. You can't untell someone your secrets. You can't unsay those delicate truths once you learn you can't trust the person you handed them to.”
