#TESTIMONY

[reddbuster]

Maya Fey is such a fucking genius concept for a character it makes me insane. at 17 years old she's the sole heir to a prestigious and powerful family of spirit mediums. her parents are gone and her sister is dead and the burden of the fey legacy is hers alone to bear. And so it is her destiny to spend her entire life training rigorously to detach herself from the world in order to hone her powers and reclaim the pride and standing of the Fey clan. and what does she do about it? she becomes the most unapologetically earthly, hedonistic, materialistic creature alive. A girl who is always chasing pleasure, be that in money, in food, in children's tv shows. A girl who loves loudly, who wants loudly, who lives loudly. A girl who in all her strength and kindness is not afraid to be selfish and to take what she wants. And yet underneath all that is something small and sad and scared. She's lonely, and afraid of being left behind. she struggles with self-esteem. she's passively suicidal. and eventually, under enough pressure, she DOES start to crack under the weight of it all because at the end of the day despite everything she is still a teenage girl. I genuinely cannot imagine thinking that Maya Fey is badly written. I think she's one of the most brilliant video game characters of all time.

" Out of Line"

It's the person who's "out of line" who is always told to, "Get back in line!"

I'm "out of line," and the students tell me to, "Get back in line!" But I say, "No, " and I saw a smaller line, and they all seemed happy and stood out as different. They were dressed in school uniform. So I started making my way over there. And the teacher of the line I left came and asked me to, "Get back in line" and when I replied, "No", immediately that teacher took it to the principal and now the principal and teachers from my original class started threatening me in front of the students. Who were trying to scare me to get back in place. When I started to break down and cry, my original classmates and other students of that class said, "If you would have stayed in line, this wouldn't have happened to you!" Even with that being done, I kept making my way to the other line. Now, the teachers became furious, and bullies from that school approach me, telling me to turn around. Once again, I refused, so the principal gave a "signal" to the bullies, and they said, "Fine, you could go." As I turned and walked a couple steps further, they added by yelling, "This school dressed you! So we're taking your clothes from off your back!" They started ripping the clothes off of me in front of my classmates and other students. "Hahahaha," they would all laugh as I became naked. Once, I was stripped, and the students of that class noticed the scars and bruises on my naked body. The bullies moved aside so all could see, and I saw pointing, I heard whispering and laughing, and from the laughing crowd, words came out, "How long you had that there!" followed by more laughter. I even heard the ones that had pitty for me say, "If he would have only stayed." At that exact time, I got up from off the ground and turned my back against them

some dear friends of mine have a son with trisomy-18 that wasn't expected to live long enough to make it out of the hospital. but, miraculously, he lived twenty two weeks and passed away tonight.

they have another son who is three, and he said he saw a bright light at home and again when they were at the hospital. then when their baby passed, he said he saw a person with wings flying into the sky. i know that baby met Jesus tonight.

i wanted to share that with you all, because as heartbreaking as it is, it's also beautiful. that child of God was given a new body tonight & the first time he ever ran it was into Jesus's arms.

please pray for the adams family as they deal with this loss. rest in peace, chapman. 🕊️

"His whole face was this pale, ashen and he had this gray under his eyes. The weight of his testimony, of having to really destroy the reputation of my family. I remember when he apologized to me on the stand, for molesting me. That was a devastating moment for me. He had never said he was sorry before."

We are not called to save the world. That’s a burden too heavy for us to bear. We are instead called to follow the Spirit of Christ speaking within us, the Spirit of the one who carries the sin of the world, the one who can lead us out. Part of the work of Jesus is to break us out of the closed circle of self-justification. As long as we struggle to be good we will never be able to bear the weight of our guilt. [...] If instead we rely on the goodness of God, the goodness we partake in as God’s beloved creatures, then our guilt can be faced. Then we can do our small part to untie the sticky knots of sin that riddle our lives. We are loved and we are responsible. We are sinners and we are saints. We are warped by sin and we are precious children of God.

Go tell the wonderful things God has done for you! Mark 5:19

This is not a command just to the man who was delivered from demon-possession, but also a command to us! God is merciful! He has forgiven us, God has saved us through His Son Jesus Christ and He has given us eternal life. 

God has been good to us; He has been faithful to us until now. He has healed us, delivered us, protected us, provided for us...How can we not share this powerful message with others?

Prayer: O God, give my mouth the words to say, and a heart full of joy so that I can be effective in telling others what Jesus has done for me! In Jesus' name I ask for this grace. Amen.

my testimony

for eighteen years,I lived a life of fear and dread. My parents were toxic and abusive and the best way to avoid that was through just taking the blows. I was born and diagnosed with autism. Since I was the one kid that couldn't do anything the way they wanted or in their words, 'the right way' i became the family scapegoat. It was my fault if something went wrong always. I was never like my siblings or into the same things as them. My parents praised my siblings because they were athletic and smart and followed along with the mind games they would play. I was quieter and more into the arts. My gifts and talents were seen as useless and stupid. I began to believe it and fell into a massive hole of depression, anxiety, self loathing, and suicidal thoughts and actions. those who figured out what was happening at home were pushed away and were seen as bad people. I never felt more alone in my life. Eventually, I moved to a private Christian school. I was miserable. I was disgusted by the thought of Jesus Christ and how He allowed all this suffering in my life. But I remember one day in class, one of my teachers pulled me aside and told me that Jesus saw me and He never left me alone. He was watching over me and had big plans for my life. After hearing that, I could feel the Holy Spirit moving in the room. I burst into tears and allowed Jesus into my life.

After I graduated, i moved out. I have tried to restore a relationship with my family but no onehas bothered to return texts or calls. It has been a few months and I heard I had a new baby brother. The family made it clear I was not invited to see him. Please pray for them.

One verse in psalm 27 was 'when mother and father forsake me, the Lord will take care of me.'

Since I came to Christ, He has done so much in my life. I now have a job, a relationship with the distant family I missed out on growing up(so many cousins!), amazing group of friends, and a wonderful boyfriend.

So yes, my physical family may forsake me, but my Father in Heaven never will. Praise the Lord

He will turn your life around, He is knocking, let Him in

I had to testify in court against Helena Bonham Carter and she was trying to kill me before I made it all the way to the courtroom, which was a few days away by car.

“The things that Rotem Matias (16) misses used to be small parts of an ordinary life. The “perfect” pasta dish with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and basil that no one cooks for him any more. Sitting with his mum, Shachar, after school, chatting about his day…  That world was obliterated, when Ham@s ki11ed his parents in their home in the Holit kibbutz, as they shielded their youngest child with their bodies.”  Rotem, now 17, is living with his uncle and family.  Source: @guardian Credit for quote: @jewish_in_calgary
