The hardest part about recovering from Religious OCD is that you are eventually going to have to make the most terrifying leap of faith in the world: to admit that you have done all you can, and trust that God is going to take care of the rest.

For someone who has never experienced OCD, that probably doesn't sound scary at all. But believe me, when you seriously believe that your immortal soul is on the line, that kinda of trust take every last thing you have.

To trust that He wants you in heaven more than you want to be in heaven. To trust that He knows how much you love Him, even when you think that you aren't positive that you love Him. To trust that jumping through hoops isn't what gets you to heaven—His arms are.

For a Catholic, that probably looks like trusting your loved ones when they tell you that you don't need to go to confession. "Okay, but what if I did that time, and it happens to be the ONE time I wasn't obsessing?" 1) the likelihood of that happening is slim to none BUT 2) if it did, do you really think a God Who is love and mercy itself would hold that against you? Don't you know that He knows how confused and scared you are? Don't you know that He knows that you are trusting your loved ones because your brain can't be trusted? Don't you know that He knows that you love Him so much you want to never, ever, ever hurt Him, and you are just trying to be healthy? That is the leap of faith you have to make.

For an Evangelical, it likely looks like doing your best to dismiss questions about whether or not you are saved. You did what you knew to do. You repented, you were baptized, you love God and you are continuing to seek Him out. "But what if I didn't repent right?" --- If you weren't repentant, you wouldn't be worried about it. You love Jesus with everything in you. I know you do. Because if you didn't, you wouldn't be sobbing over the sinner's prayer, trying to say it "correctly." Jesus knows. Jesus knows Your heart, and He came to earth for you, and the misfiring neurons in your brain are not going to be what determines your eternal salvation. He wants you. And you want Him. And that's enough. That's your leap of faith.

And some point, you have to throw your hands in the air and say "Jesus, I did everything I can. I'm scared, and I'm confused, and I don't understand anything, and I don't know what to do anymore. So will you figure it out for me?" And rest in that. Because He will figure it out for you. You don't need to be solving all those mental puzzles. He knows the answers.

He is not mad at you for being confused. He is not upset with you for being scared. He is not angry that you don't have all the answers. Righteousness is not necessarily determined by clarity. He is not impatient with you for being a little lost. He does not begrudge you for your illness.

That is the scariest leap of faith you will ever take. But brothers and sisters, there is freedom on the other side. There is joy on the other side. And Christ will catch you when you jump.

Religious People: Stop loving people we don't like! Jesus: You know what? I'm going to start loving people you don't like even harder.

Did Deep Cut get a different report than we did? Is the big run actually coming back to wahoo wahoo world again?

My hottest take off the day is that, actually, evil is not the absence of God, but rather a destructive force that God holds at bay.

RAAAAAAHHHH TRENCH OF THE NECROKRAKEN IS FINALLY OUT!!!! its supposed to be really tough and I can't wait to give it a tryyyyy

Ok I never really planned on going public with this but do you guys know any good hairstyles that would work with inkling/octoling hybrid hair? It’s hard because the different textures need very different treatment, so styling both types the same way is a struggle.

Also is there a common name for inkling/octoling hybrids? I’ve heard inktoling but it seems so clumsy.

I think people (especially, but not limited to, Christians) often get social media all wrong. All I ever hear is the constant negative loop about how "all it is is a currated highlight reel of other people's lives made to make you feel bad" or "all it does is sow division" and while both of those things can be very true (and often are very true), making those claims works only to excuse us from taking our own role in social media culture seriously.

Do you realize that every single time you hit post, you have the opportunity to choose to help someone or hinder them? Even for silly little posts. You can choose to make someone laugh. Encourage someone. Share something beautiful. YOUR post might be the one that brightens someone's day. And yeah, you aren't always going to know who. Sometimes, you might never learn. And sometimes, you will. But every time you have a beautiful opportunity. The same algorithm that divides people can unite people.

And yeah, no matter how kind and good you are, you'll have the disagreeable folks in your comments sometimes. But you don't have to listen to them, and you don't have to fight back. Because for every dumb response, there is probably a beautiful one.

To write something so culturally significant off as "unsalvagable" is essentially to abandon our posts as missionaries of beauty and hope.

Maybe the rest of the world is frozen in sub-zero temperatures, but you can hand at least one person a blanket. It's up to you if you want to.

Ok I'm fairly certain bestie ain't online rn because they're busy with their visit and I just got off on my break (cod, helping organize the C-Side concert in Hotlantis has been something) so

I have this friend! Reef, that just finished moving out from their old apartment to their new house!

They want to make a housewarming party but feels too discouraged to do it because they say they don't have enough friends for it ᔦ ˘⁠･･⁠˘ ᔨ

So if you're in Splatsville you're invited to

Feel free to comment if you're interested and I'll dm you the location! (Ooc: not literally dm it to your blog but just imagine she sends it to your character or sm)

It'll be in 4 days from now! So feel free to send a message!

i think immediately after splatfests should be a safe time where you can disregard tos.

its not "incitement of violence" its just my opinion. but only for 12 hours after results drop.
