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.

Very excited for splatfest! I have my next appointment about a week before to see if I can get this compression sleeve off and can go back to playing turf regularly. Hopefully it's good news!

Tammie quietly moved through the Inkopolis streets, trying not to draw attention. Though they quickly had to hide when some Jellyfish started throwing stuff at them. They dived out of the way and quickly tried to get out of sight, eventually jumping up and getting into an open window. They crashed on to the ground. Their eyes widened as they saw some small bags of chips on the ground. They quickly grabbed one of them and dived under a table, silently listening. The smell of an inkfish was fresh- signifying someone was definitely home. She quickly tried to gauge where the person was.

She just wanted to get to Cyclone as quickly as possible. After being forced to take a break, they wanted to visit while they could.

Ray looked up from his computer at the sound, wondering if he should investigate. Eventually, he peeked his head out of the bedroom door, shining a flashlight into the living room. Hello? Anyone there?

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.

lowkey vent post under the cut

i dont really get out much, but when i do i always get a few stares or glances of people trying not to stare. and i get it, most people in splatsville don't see chrondies that often but it always kinda feels like people are scared of me? like if i raise my voice too much or look the wrong way or swing my tail too hard i could hurt someone. i dont want to hurt anyone, though, i just want to live and be myself. i couldn't do that back in A-Bay for different reasons, and i thought I'd find it here, but it kinda just ended up trading one problem for another.

idk sorry im just tired

my younger cousins made me watch clamilton with them this afternoon when we were babysitting their nieces. no shade to its fans, i could definitely see the technical skill on display there and i'm not calling you or the shellendorf fandom cringe for the crossover stuff, but it wasn't particularly impressive to me since i've heard how much better the songwriter's later works have gotten, plus glorifying and romanticizing the lives of slave owners and warmongers was never my sort of vibe anyway. however i could not stop thinking about the whole Situation™ that happened here on chumblr during the peak of its popularity with the girl faking having an inkfish immunodeficiency virus while running a blog claiming to be an accurate source of dealing with the complications surrounding IIDV

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.

Keeping a sketchbook again has been such a boon to my creativity and skills! I can feel my sense of 3D space slowly get stronger. Today’s sketches are of Zaire and two AUs of my newest boy, Vex, who I’m excited to share more about soon. ^^

Went to see this band called Doorbell last night with my friend! It was a lot of fun, though... These two were claiming they were going to be the next idols??? I think it was mostly for fun but .. I did see the drummer shaking his head at one point.
