An Unexpected Bridge-How a Poem Renewed my Faith

I will admit there are times when I don’t understand why God does the things He does. I’ll also admit there have been moments when I haven’t been particularly joyful toward Him. In fact, recently, I haven’t been fully “all in” with God spiritually. Much of this has to do with recent events in my life.While I can understand some of the reasons behind these events, others remain a mystery to me. Because of this, I’ve found myself feeling angry, sad, and unhappy.

But today, something interesting happened, and I’d like to share it with you.

My mother and her sister, my aunt, both love poetry. Recently, my aunt reached out to my mother asking for a copy of The Creation by James Weldon Johnson. My mother asked me to bring her a book of poetry she owns so she could look for it. Together, we searched through her collection, flipping through pages, but the poem wasn’t there. Determined to help, I searched for the poem online. When I found it, I copied it into an email and sent it to my aunt, letting her know it was from my mother. Although I had heard of the poem before, I had never actually read it.

Out of curiosity, I saved a copy to my computer and decided to read it myself. As I read each line, vivid images formed in my mind, almost as if I were witnessing the birth of the world. It was a breathtaking experience. When I finished reading, I paused and decided to have a conversation with God. I said to Him, “I don’t think You were just lonely when You created the world. I think You wanted to create something You could be proud of. And when You created humanity, it was because You wanted to share everything You made with us.” As I spoke those words, I teared up.

For the first time in a long while, I felt a renewed perspective on God’s love and intentions. I was reminded of how blessed we are—not just because God chose to share this world and universe with us, but also because He gave us His Son, Jesus. Of course, there will still be moments when I feel puzzled by life’s events, when sadness and questions will resurface. But today, God did something amazing. He used a poem to spark my imagination and help me see the wonder of His Creation.

Amen.

Perhaps watching the Deadpool and Wolverine movie renewed my faith in finishing anime series that involved the losses of old childhood voice actors. I can’t believe that there were only a total of 48 episodes for Yashahime.

Thinking thoughts about Abuela being back and with this backstory about her being taken in by charlatans and Eddies whole catholic guilt thing and how the two things kind of play into one another as an exploration of faith and being taken in by something.

Abuela giving all her money to the tarot card readers etc because she was searching for something - for connection (with Abuelo) - trying to recapture what she had lost, and How Eddie has spoken about trying to re-find the magic he had with Shannon - how Eddie hasn't actually fully reconciled the Shannon of it all when it comes to relationships and how his Catholic guilt connects into that.

How Marisol as a physical representation of Catholicism is part of that narrative - how Eddie is entering a place where he has to chose his path - in order to move on from Shannon he needs to fully square the hole - catholic or non catholic. And how that needs to happen first - before he can begin his queer journey!

(spoilers for the marella short story)

i think we need to actually consider the importance of canon marellinh, if that truly is what shannon meant to do (this does have to be taken with a grain of salt, since shannon is known for accidental queercoding.) after all these years of joking about the seemingly implied queer shit between the characters, to actually get something canonical? especially when a lot of us on tumblr are lgbtq+ in some way? it means so much and I genuinley cannot describe my feelings on it. to be in this fandom for years and all of a sudden have this? holy shit. even more insane when you consider a large part of the fandom is christian, many of whom are or have parents who are homophobic. this is a big move from shannon, and I genuinley cannot wait to see if it was intentional.
