@loopylin So glad he’s doing better! I’ll continue to pray for him!

@raxforge

Now I’m even more curious. Sorry if you don’t want to answer. 😅 You said ‘need’ a lot, does that mean you would only talk about death if you need to, not at any other time?

@whalekeeper

Y’all are so sweet 💕 Thank you

Hope you enjoy your ice cream party. That sounds fun :]

@loopylin

My sisters are concerned, they’ve paused our ice cream party to pray.

@loopylin

Oh yeah, stress can definitely give you stomach pains, and a hard time eating. He sounds like he needs a hug. I’m glad he feels a little better <3

@theducktator @hybridlore @the_lost-journal

Thanks so much for the prayers!

Here’s an update for anyone wondering:

The doctors couldn’t figure anything out and he came home because it’s not a major emergency. He’s doing better today and actually got some sleep.

I’m starting to think it might be his anxiety and stress causing major physical…[Read more]

When you aren’t immediately sad about the whole thing, it might help to go to your parents and talk with them about it, even if they seem angry when you lash out.

For example, my parents can feel frustrated with my younger brother, but when he tries to explain why he had a temper explosion, they can see he isn’t…[Read more]

@raxforge

Oh, that’s an interesting perspective I’ve never heard before. So you wouldn’t write about death in any circumstance because it might offend people?

But I have done enough things in my life that tell others that I’m not a Christian, I don’t need to add to the list.

This comment above ^ Do you find it unlikable to talk/write about death?

@raxforge @rae

If Ben, Flare, and Baron head for the river, they shouldn’t be followed too closely. The ironwalkers are jostled enough from Marcel’s strike that they have their equivalent to severe nerve damage and/or concussions. 👍

@ellette-giselle

Come on, Ellette! You’re gonna leave me on that!? Your cliffhangers…

Just teasing. I like Julian’s reaction—it feels very realistic like Linus said, even though I’m not a boy so I don’t know exactly how men react to those situations. As far as I know, it looks good.

@ellette-giselle

Augh, I keep missing you!! 😅

Cool! So… how old is Joseph in the later books, if right now he’s “Young Joseph”?

@ellette-giselle

How could you kill your FAVORITE off, Ellette??? 😢

Oh, it’s been picked back up. Just slightly bent now. 😁

@ellette-giselle

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Lol yeah I totally read it and wondered, but then while I was reading this the only thing that I was thinking was that, “It’s probably the same Julian… right?” I did not even register that until right after, and then I was like 🤦‍♀️

So because Julian and Joseph showed empathy for Adrian in that sc…[Read more]

@loopylin Praying!!! 🙏

Hi everyone, sorry I ghost this topic so much, but my dad could really use some prayer right now.

We just called an ambulance to take him to the hospital and my mom went with him. He’s been having really bad stomach pain that keeps him from eating and sleeping and makes it difficult to breathe. He hasn’t been able to work because of it and it’…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

It looks good. I’m still sad though.

Question- how come all the other believers haven’t been discovered, but as soon as Adrian became a believer basically, he was found out and killed?

@ellette-giselle

Not really crying—but not because I’m not sad. I just don’t really cry that much, even for some of the saddest books I’ve read. I kind of want to though.

You were so bubbly in the previous post, and now you are so sad. Part of me feels really bad, and the other part of me is wickedly gleeful.

I was half convinced you were going t…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I don’t even know what to say… If you couldn’t tell I posted that before I read the new section.

I don’t even know if I want to see an Adrian aesthetic board anymore 😭😭😭

@ellette-giselle

LOL.

Oh 😂 Sorry about that. I wasn’t thinking about the POV shift at all. I guess with Adrian in so many of Joseph’s scenes, I forgot that it’s just Joseph’s POV. @Linus is probably right, you should keep it consistent.

I think you meant to tag @keilah-h up there, because those were her words.

You two have some issues with tr…
