Message of the Arrows
There are only two things that pierce the human heart: beauty and affliction. And while we wish there were only beauty in the world, each of us has known enough pain to raise serious doubts about the world we live in.
Romance has an enemy.

I tend to focus on the positive and let go of the hurts and painful things. It is my natural reaction to have you give me the "bad" first so I can cushion it with the "good". Reading that the Romance was pushed to the back by the painful arrows was hard. I now can see that, like Brent, I just pierced the arrow all the way through and let the Romance die. I realize that pushing out the pain doesn't make it any less painful. I am going to find the place that speaks to my heart and I'm going to meet God there!

This was an amazing chapter for me! I have had alot of arrows in my life and I have always thought I was "strong" or because I had been through so many things I was just better than most at handling them, but reading this book is opening my eyes and more importantly my heart to what I have really been doing. I definately pushed the arrows all the way through and have become somewhat of a professional at it. It is the hope that has been killed in me. My prayer journal for the last year has been full of prayers to believe in dreams again and to have hope again I think this book is part of God's answer to me. I need to let God heal my heart and reclaim my dreams and hopes through my faith in him.
