todays observations

whenever coworker a shakes his head "no" he drops his entire facial expression to deadpan and shakes his head really fast like 6 times

whenever coworker s is confused she just smiles with her eyebrows raised but flares her nostrils like she's trying to smell the answer to her question

this guy came into the bakery, spent a long time looking at the case, realized he forgot his wallet in his car, waited for me to turn around, SPRINTED out to his car, SPRINTED back in, and then pretended he hadn't and was just still looking at the case

a little fly repeatedly tried to land on a pastry to eat the pastry cream but the cream would get stuck to its feet and scare it every time so it would take off land somewhere else furiously clean its feet and then land on the pastry and get creamed again

"Time passes in moments-- moments which, rushing past define the path of a life just as surely as they lead towards its end. How rarely do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen, to consider whether the path we take in life is our own making or simply one into which we drift with eyes closed?"

Thanks for reading~

Enjoy!

Not to be that person, but everyone is always like "We don't have anyone to look up to anymore." "We need good role models." When in reality, the perfect one never left and his name is Jesus!

I mean, think about it, and not even in a religious way, he was kind and forgiving and the perfect person, living a sinless and meaningful life. We can still look up to him today, strive to be like him and gain from his wisdom! Get to know him, it might change your life...

mulder and scully used to care so much about 'probable cause' in their investigations but then one day they just decided to start breaking into every house they came across and y'know what I love that for them <3

I'm familiar with T intersections, but by some failure of imagination I'd never considered a pan-T intersection until now

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

Signs and Wonders Bear Witness

1 When Yeshua had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their towns. 2 Now when John heard in prison about the works of the Messiah, he sent word through his disciples 3 and said to Yeshua, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”

4 Yeshua replied, “Go report to John what you hear and see: 5 the blind see and the lame walk, those with tzara’at are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised and the poor have good news proclaimed to them. 6 Blessed is the one who is not led to stumble because of Me.”

A Prophet Without Honor

7 Now as they were leaving, Yeshua began to talk to the crowd concerning John. “What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 No? So what did you go out to see? A man dressed in finery? Look, those who wear finery are in the palaces of kings! 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, even more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written,

‘Behold, I send My messenger before You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

11 “Amen, I tell you, among those born of women, none has arisen greater than John the Immerser. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven is treated with violence, and the violent grasp hold of it. 13 For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until the time of John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears, let him hear!

16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call to one other, saying,

17 ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We wailed, but you did not mourn.’

18 “For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”

20 Then Yeshua began to denounce the towns where most of His miracles had happened, because they did not turn from their sins. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have turned long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 Nevertheless I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the Day of Judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will go down to Sheol! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 Nevertheless I tell you that it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom on the Day of Judgment than for you.”

Yeshua Teaches the Ways of His Father

25 At that time Yeshua said in response, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and discerning and revealed them to infants. 26 Yes, Father, for this way was pleasing to You.

27 “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ‘you will find rest for your souls.’ 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” — Matthew 11 | Tree of Life Version (TLV) Tree of Life Translation of the Bible.

ASK FOR A SIGN!!!

[that-one-girls-blog-posts]

In my opinion you can totally do tarot readings for yourself in a religious way if that's what you wish to do! Others reading for you, yes that might be tricky when they have a different beliefsystem and practices that might not agree with you personally but when reading for yourself you don't have to consult other spirits, ask for your God(-s) and only him (/them).

So many religions have pictures and all these meaningful visuals and the tarot is such a great medium for the divine to speak to you more clearly through such.

I think the main reason people are against it is a misunderstanding of divination, thinking of it as looking into the future and prophesying things you're not supposed to know or be aware of but in my experience things will simply not be revealed if they're not supposed to. Most of the time it's just analyzing situations and getting guidance on emotions, thoughts and overall your inner world, it's very psychological.

Little things I like to do are lighting those candles with religious images, praying over my cards and making sure I'm wearing jewelry with symbols important to me, these are also great ways to protect yourself (from outside influence).

Scripture Of The Day – June 3, 2024

Mark 4:39 -- "Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still!'  And the wind ceased and there was a great calm."

John 14:12 -- "He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works that these he will do, because I go to My Father"

       Jesus did not come to show us what God can do. He came to show us what one Believer can do who was wholly yielded to the Father and His Holy Spirit.

     Affirmations:

I FORGET THE PAST AND REACH FOR THOSE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS CALLED ME.

I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.

I CONFESS TODAY THAT I YIELD MY HEART TO GOD'S WORD SO THAT RIGHT THINKING, RIGHT BELIEVING, AND RIGHT SPEAKING BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE FOR ME.

Hebrews 3:1 - “Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession."
