That's cool!
I made the mistake of wading into the "female Aslan" debacle, and something I saw the left-Caths in that mess arguing was that there was a tradition in Catholicism of Christ having a female nature, and citing the Wisdom of Solomon to prove this. So it's interesting that the same thing occurs in some strands of Protestantism.
I feel like Catholics and other Christians tend to hold up the Holy Family as the ideal role model of a nuclear family; but Mary was pregnant outside of wedlock, and Joseph was not Jesus's bio dad. The Holy Spirit (the One Who conceived Jesus) is referred to with feminine language in the original text of the Scripture. According to the Church, Mary and Joseph never consummated their relationship; instead adopting more kids. At Jesus' request, John the Beloved took in Mary as his own Mother--that's chosen family.
None of these things exactly fits the ideals of a nuclear marriage and family which Christians espouse--in fact, it would be considered scandalous. But they were a Holy Family nonetheless. It's almost like family can be complicated and not fit into lines or boxes, and still be built on love and honoring to God

This really spoke to me because lately I’ve been dealing with temptation, so hopefully it helps you guys out as well.

Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected] Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble.] Proverbs 25:28

These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 6:16-19

"A man is washed clean with a glass of water, but the entire sea can't clean a woman."
—Albanian Proverb.
Meaning: Men are easily forgiven for the same mistakes with a small gesture, while women face ongoing judgment, revealing unfair expectations based on gender. This proverb shines a light on sexism within a culture, illustrating unequal forgiveness based on gender and emphasizing the need for awareness and change.
