Pressing Toward the Goal

12 Not as though I have already received, or have already been perfected; but I am striving, so that I may also lay hold on that for which I also was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself as having attained; but this one thing I do-- forgetting the things that are behind, and reaching forth to the things that are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 3:12-14 | A Faithful Version (AFV) A Faithful Version Bible Copyright © 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 York Publishing Company.

never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱

#was calling beckett and scouring the works of eliza cook looking for lesbianism #good amounts of lesbianism in evidence but unfortunately very little in the way of good poetry #APART from this worm one which DOES NOT MISS #eliza cook #is there a thriving eliza cook tag on tumblr. somehow i doubt it #the hand of the giant and the heart of the brave / must turn weak and submit to the worm and the grave!#not an original theme ofc but GOD the treatment is delightful. so fresh so gleeful some rlly nice use of sound. rlly solidly constructed #words #gay belligerence

Prayer Request: Burn Out and Compassion Fatigue

In my Christian life (not my professional one), I have been called to sometimes advocate for those who cannot do so for themselves for a plethora of reasons. When I first learned of this calling, I was grateful and humbled; I felt thankful that God wanted to use me in such a way. Last night, I found myself asking God what would happen if I gave this calling back to Him. Well, this won't be happening, but I was quite concerned with my shift in feelings. It all just seemed so bleak, hopeless, and so incredibly hard. I have been separated from the situation for less than 24 hours, and I am already starting to feel like myself once again.

All of this caused me to research burnout and compassion fatigue, and this is exactly what I'm facing. I am posting about this here for anyone who may need this information.

It is vital to let God show you how to find the balance of Christian Love and self care. To be an effective Christian regardless of your calling, you MUST employ both.

For me personally, the feeling of being very under appreciated is the most crippling. When I expend so much energy on a situation and the reciprocation seems vastly disproportionate, it leaves me feeling as though I am being taken for granted and less than, of little importance. However, if you are in this situation, it is important to consider how much of yourself the others involved actually have asked you to give; fairness matters.My particular situation extends back to around mid June, just over five months ago. If you are facing this and it has gone on for years, my heart is with you.

Finally, it is important to know when to walk away. God will show you if and when someone is refusing your help; He will show you when it is finally time to let go. I haven't reached this point in my personal situation, but the fact that even thinking about entering back into it slightly causes me an immense sense of dread is indicative of just how important self care is.

Please pray that when I do have to re-enter this situation, I will be able to step out as needed. I am praying for anyone and everyone going through this type of thing. Just know that God loves you, others love you, and I love you as well. You are not alone.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

#talk tag #IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME #(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still)#(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'')#GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!!#one time i saw that a person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi.#they are TWIN BROTHERS.#not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this.#just horrible #also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

Unlocking the Treasures of Ephesians 1:18: A Journey to Spiritual Enlightenment

Have you ever wondered about the proper depth of your spiritual inheritance? Ephesians 1:18 offers a profound glimpse into the riches God has in store for believers. This verse is like a treasure map, guiding us to discover the hope of God's calling, the wealth of His glorious inheritance, and the immeasurable greatness of His power.

Let's start with the hope of His calling. God doesn't just invite us to follow Him; He calls us to a life of purpose and meaning. This isn't a vague, wishy-washy hope but a solid assurance of God's plan for our lives. It's like having a personal invitation to the most exclusive event in the universe - God's eternal kingdom!

Next, we encounter the riches of His glorious inheritance. Imagine being told you've inherited a vast fortune. That's exciting, right? The spiritual inheritance God offers is far more valuable than any earthly wealth. It includes eternal life, peace that surpasses understanding, joy that doesn't depend on circumstances, and a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe.

But wait, there's more! The verse also speaks of the immeasurable greatness of God's power. This isn't just any power - the same mighty strength that raised Jesus from the dead. Think about that for a moment. The power that conquered death itself is available to believers. This power can transform lives, heal broken hearts, and overcome seemingly impossible obstacles.

To grasp these truths, Paul prays for the eyes of our hearts to be enlightened. This isn't about physical sight but spiritual perception. It's about seeing life from God's perspective, understanding His ways, and recognizing His work in our lives.

So, how can we practically apply this verse to our lives? Start by spending time in prayer, asking God to open the eyes of your heart. Read His Word regularly, allowing its truths to sink deep into your soul. Look for evidence of God's calling, inheritance, and power daily.

Remember, this enlightenment is a journey, not a one-time event. Be patient with yourself and keep seeking God. As you do, your spiritual vision will become more precise, your faith more muscular, and your life more aligned with God's excellent plan.

In conclusion, Ephesians 1:18 invites us on an exciting adventure of spiritual discovery. It challenges us to see beyond the visible and grasp the incredible riches God has for us. Why not take a moment right now to pray, asking God to enlighten the eyes of your heart? You might be surprised at the treasures He reveals!

but dont you think its interesting how many guards of the exact same color/body type she's managed to accrue?? i do

ooohh you want to go look at our stickers so bad

#conclusion: if one of them smokes weed they BOTH get high #but it's a baby's metabolism vs a sun god's so if CELESTIA is zooted spike is DEAD #i also like to imagine rainbow dash becomes quite the philosopher while under the influence #and yes their bong IS zecoras potion bottle from season 4 episode 1/2 thanks for asking #anyways #this is a long ass comic with. minimal payoff. but we're POSTING IT ANYWAY BABES #i couldnt decide if it would be funnier to have zephyr breeze at the end or one of those regular white blue-haired blue-eyed stock guards #i left it as zephyr. the real ones get it #i guess the real ones are everybody who saw season 9 episode 4 #but cmon why ELSE do you think celestia would hire that guy #it's cause she's a freak and im calling her out on my tumblr dot com #mlp #mlp fim #mlp friendship is magic #mlp g4 #mlp fanart #princess celestia #princess luna #rainbow dash #fluttershy #spike the dragon #zephyr breeze #horse comic #me art #also that font is one i made based off my own handwriting!! im so happy about it #though it does look. exactly like comic sans #idk how to feel about that tbh #wow you can just talk to yourself in the tags forever and no one will even know huh

yeah we might be brothers in christ but so were cain and abel so shut the fuck up before i decide to find a rock about it

#postscript;#if you try to tell me cain and abel were not brothers in christ shut up pls #i've studied theology for nearly a decade. i know more than you.#christ's harrowing of hell exists to retroactively turn all of humanity even before his existence into ''brothers'' in christ #because it is not a literal term it is an evangelist term. bc christianity in all denominations is evangelistic in nature #not being a christian is 1. a moral incorrect choice according to them and #2. not actually possible. everyone is judged as a christian everyone is fundamentally supposed to be christian #calling someone a brother in christ is just calling them christian.#so ergo according to doctrine cain and abel are in fact brothers in christ #but #and this is far more important than any of that #i was not trying to be perfectly accurate to the theological timeline of the tanakh vs torah vs old testament vs new testament vs apocrypha #i was trying to make a silly one line joke on the internet #and all you do when you try to go Well Actually They Werent is make yourself look stupid and pedantic.#so for the love of god stop it with needing to be right online im so bored and tired

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

#humans are good actually #humans are strange #hopecore #honey prose #respectfully do not fill my mentions w Christianity references this is NOT a capital G god friendly post #fuck the concept of original sin and also Thomas Hobbes #also for all the vet ppl in the tags saying don’t take a wild animal to the vet pls refer to ‘just so it doesn’t suffer’ IM A VET TECH.#THERE IS ONLY ONE THING WE CAN DO FOR A SMALL WILD ANIMAL THAT IS INJURED .#I’m talking about humane euthanasia for a creature that is clearly suffering when there’s no wildlife conservation for 60+ miles #I’ve actually never had a client that didn’t call to ask to bring it in that didn’t already know and understand euthanasia was all we’d be #able to do.#that’s the kindness part. that’s the love. ‘I can’t do anything except make sure you don’t suffer any longer than u already have since some #asshole ran over your back legs’

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with nightmare before christmas #hajimari no halloween #calling dibs on skeleton kisses as the name of my band #man scully is just a delightful little weirdo and i'm enjoying him immensely #(i'm going with scully until we get something official just because it makes me think of x-files)#(スカリー is also how the agent's name is transliterated and i don't know if it was intentional but i love it as a bonus reference)#(i want to believe™)#gosh though #'no one at school likes me because i won't shut up about halloween and jack skellington' i'm feeling VERY attacked right now twst #look scully your people are out there #just get on the forums and -- oh wait you're probably from like the 1800s or something #(my theory is that he's from the past and there's just some Book Magic going on to bring us together)#(LOOK they made a point of saying that the book fair has been held annually for a super long time)#a hot topic goth born before hot topic was invented...so sad 😔#i dunno i could be wrong but that feels like a good working theory for now #if it wasn't for mal sensing twsty ~magic~ on him i would think he's like. a christmas elf who's going to kidnap jack in a reverse-nmbc #(not ruling that out though because it would be amazing)#god all the sprites in this event look AMAZING. loving the desaturated colors and the extra drawn-on lines 😍#i'm genuinely kinda sad that we aren't gonna get to see every character like this #who knows...maybe halloweentown will be imperiled again next year...#come back and destroy my keys again please #(that said i'm doing weirdly well so far?)#(i promised i'd save for sebek and just do cursory pulls to get the SRs and not hope for the SSRs)#(...but then leona jumpscared me four coffins in anyway. halloween magic is REAL)

i've been BELTING out the Epic concept album in the car to and from work the past couple of weeks, esp. the bit where Odysseus cries out for Athena at the end of Love in Paradise, and I thought it would be funny if the goddess herself was like WHY is this person in rural NY state calling for me every day at 8:40am and after 5pm
