#if you dont go by the bible daily

[kstarlitchaotics]

I'm sorry but if to those who only fill their cup half way of preaching the Bible daily online and off not showing any caring towards people like how Jesus actually showed he never wrote the Bible not to say that you should use the Bible yes but they're only guide lines Jesus himself never wrote anything about the Bible itself only with Matthew Mark Luke & John and his other followers and so on Jesus himself did not write the Bible no matter who tells you he did not to follow Jesus just show kindness in general even to those who you disagree daily or even to your enemies Jesus never turned away to those who came for him they have done he came to them for hope that he would help them if one chooses too yes he went and preach but he did it with kindness and understanding to the Born again forcing people into accepting everything that one claim that Jesus had done in the name of him as using the Bible as an excuse-Jesus would honestly I think would be disappointed he would not approve the fact people are using that against the sinner people I find this ironic sometimes that even by going about his teachings certain hard core within the Christ faith can be blindsided Christians can point out how Mormons are fake messenger so can certain Christians who only go by writing and not the teachings of Jesus himself

i would like to personally ask god why he decided we needed 25 different forms of christianity and, more importantly, why they all kept fighting and caused like 90% of the history i have to know for my final history exam.

HOW TO GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER - SCHOOL EDITION

Intro: well, ik this isn’t the kinda stuff I usually post, but I’ve been wanting to write this. I’m a HUGE procrastinator, but I’m also an overachiever, so it’s just a really shitty self-fulfilling prophecy, ya see. My mental health also does nOT help so it’s hard to balance things. Though, I have found ways, and here are some school related:

• Don’t THINK about procrastinating. You’ll most likely end up procrastinating if you keep thinking of it, yk? Just don’t think abt it and sit down. Do your shit. Work it 🫵🏻 •

• Write down stuff from the lecture, no matter if the teacher wrote it down or not. I N I C I A T I V E is everything, you silly. •

• Take small breaks !!!!!!!!!! Do noooot overwhelm yourself. I love u and u should be in good spirits when studying, hm? •

• Set yourself a daily goal. Mine is 1hr of study per day, without counting the breaks (as I don’t study in them, obvi). •

• Slowcore music, FOR sOMe rEaSON really helps me studying!!! I think it’s cuz the instrumental is louder than the lyrics, so I can’t really pay attention to them. Well, anyways. My recommendations on that are: sign crushes motorist; take care; birth day; i dont like my mirrors, etc etc. what i do is to just throw their whole discographies into a playlist and BOOM name it a study playlist. Like. Urm. Thats it. •

• holy shit, organize your rat corner of studying, my dude. it literally did WONDERS for me. I cleaned drawers, put all the stuff that crammed my table in them. I also added a cool luminary, but u don’t gotta do that. •

• ALSO those magnet metal boards are a must for me !! i’ve been using them for yeARS and its wonderful <3 •

• minty sweets are also cool, specially those ones that u can keep on ur mouth. idk why. extra energy, i guess. •

• NOTION. NOTIONNOTIONNOTION. It’s amazing. I keep everything from school in it, plus assignments and links to websites. I strongly recommend u to check it out !!! •

• do NO use your phone in between study seshs. Trust me. It’s going to distract u lots. Replace them for books, or if you play an instrument, do that. Jeez, just doodle or grab a snack •

• always keep close to u a schedule with all the subjects u got each day. it’ll help u to remember what to bring + will get u out of trouble with the teachers •

UH THATS A BIBLE. URM. BYE.

(Ooc) I want to start a blog like yours but idk how

Got any tips ?

hi! i'm not unpaid intern 2012. i'm someone much sillier. since this is ooc, and i'm the one who owns the blog, i'll answer it. (unpaid intern 2012, hope you arent annoyed by this! /gen) we have like 5 people running this blog, so theres a lot of communication involved. if you do this with other people, i recommend having a way to easily communicate what you're going to do. i also recommending defining a general "vibe" to your blog early on, like a general character. (try to make it easy to replicate if you're doing this with multiple people) for example, mbra is like "fucked up evil corporation that pretends everything is happy". it would be pretty easy for anyone to make their own mbra post if you looked at a few from the blog. having individual characters appear on the blog is fun. it allows for more interactions via asks and similar. like our beloved unpaid intern 2012! (there are more characters in the mbra besides the interns, but we dont use most of them right now)

Another mod here, I agree that you should plan out post structure and vibes with others if you're doing it with multiple people and even if you’re doing it alone you should still keep a “blog bible” of sorts. Nothing too much just vibes & post structure. Branch out as well, the MBRA blog doesn’t just do daily good mornings and reports but also interacts in situations that someone from the MBRA would partake in. Just know what you’re doing, and make sure it’s consistent Unpaid Intern 2012 here, remember to turn on asks, I have made that mistake far to many times.

[the1975attheirverybest]

oooooh fav lyrics??? fuck thats hard. i will not explain why because i want to seem somewhat cool still and not like a total fucking nerd (despite having incredibly in depth reasonings)

The 1975 - ok this is Album has some interesting lyrics because its before he had it all figured out and i fucking love it for that, theres so many fucking contenders for fav lyrics (including all of anobrain, antichrist or The city) the entire abum is just so mmmmm. but if i had to pick an absolute fav id say

"I put your mother through hell, don't you mind I hate your brother as well, don't you mind, don't you mind Oh I was thinking bout killing myself, don't you mind I love you, don't you mind, don't you mind"

and i know i know its a verse but it isnt complete otherwise. Plus i have it tattooed on me so i feel like i had to.

I Like it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it - once again mmm chefs kiss of an album no skips (theyve never made a bad album) and lyricaly very beautiful, i could absolutely nerd out about all of their catalogue tbh. but for this i am excluding Nana and She lays down because theyre...just perfect, and also i sob.

so it would have to be

"And if I believe you Will that make it stop? If I told you I need you Is that what you want?"

or

"Before you go (please don't go), turn the big light off"

its really easy and tempting to put ballad on here but i think thats because his performance style for it is so visceral and while lyrically its beautiful still i cant imagine myself enjoying them if they were sung by someone else because they need the guts behind it ya know.

A brief enquiry into online relationships - delicious as always matthew thank you this day for our daily bread.

so its either

"I can show you the photographs of you getting on with life I've had dreams where there's blood on you" thank you for referencing the bible matthew very cool.

or

"You build it to a high to say goodbye Because you're not the same as them" because it is like a fucking gut punch

notes on a conditional form - seasoned to perfection. difficult because Guys is on this album and its so sweet but i dont think its my fav lyrically, for no particular reason. same for roadkill although "i pissed myself on a texan intersection" always has a place in my heart.

"I'm in love, but I'm feeling low For I am just a footprint in the snow" did you need to fucking wreck me or is that just for funsies huh?

or

"Don't wanna bore you with my frail state of mind "Oh, winner, winner, that's your biggest lie I'm sure that you're fine" I haven't told a lie in quite some time (Quite some time) "You know we'll leave if you keep lying Don't lie behind your (Frail state of mind)"

Being funny in a foreign language - i take 0 slander for this album because its just as brilliant as the others. so first all of part of the band is fucking art and so im excluding it because it should be all of our favs.

"I've been suicidal, you've been gone for weeks If I'm undecided, will you decide for me?W

and

"'Cause, baby, I'll do anything that you wanna I'll try anything that you wanna I'll find myself in the moonlight 'Cause, baby, I want everything that you wanna And I've tried to just be me, like, a thousand times But you're on my mind"

sorry its so long and i couldnt pick just 1 (not a libra but still indecisive) in order to remain seeming somewhat cool and not a total nerd ive refrained from explaining each choice but yeah.

Welllllll……did you HAVE to bring up “Me” AND “Frail State of Mind”?!? Are you trying to make me cry? Cuz it’s almost working.

It’s weird I’ve always kinda thought of Oh Caroline as some of his simpler writing. Not in a bad way. Like “Me” is simple as well. Simplicity has its time and its place and can be wonderful. And it IS wonderful in Oh Caroline. But I’m a layers girlie, so maybe I haven’t been giving this one much attention *runs to listen to it*

[perpetual-help]

Do I have to do RCIA to become Catholic? I was raised lutheran, got off the spiritual path, but the past year Ive been stepping into Catholicism - daily rosary, catholic pods, books, catholic bible, novenas, wear miraculous medal, 33 day concentration, etc. But I live in a nonEnglish speaking country. I dont speak the native language well enough to understand mass, so I just watch American mass on YT, dont think I can do confession in local language, and so I dont take Eucharist.. am I doing ok?

You do need to receive the sacraments in order to become Catholic, and one way to do that is to go through RCIA. I’m not sure if this is true where you are, but some priests may allow you to enter the Church without going through the classes if you can prove that you are familiar with (and also agree with the teachings of the Church.)

As for your current situation, that sounds very complicated. Have you tried to reach out to the parish (maybe through email) to see if they have anyone who could possibly translate for you? That’s the next step I would take; and, if so, maybe they will be able to accommodate you moving forward, as far as speaking with a priest about entering the Church. It would not hurt to try. In the meantime, I will include you in my prayers that God leads you in the right direction.

I think it’s a good thing you’re watching Mass online, but I would like to encourage you to also go in person if you’re able to. Even if you can’t understand it, to be in the presence of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist, physically, mentally, and spiritually - there is no comparison. And it is good for us to worship with others. Simply being there will nourish your heart. And while you are there, witnessing the Sacrifice of the Mass, you can ask Our Lord to guide you into His Church so that you can receive Him too. He will never deny anyone that prayer.

God bless you, Anon. ❤️

𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞?

desire:

a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen; strongly wish for or want something

(bible) human longings, emotions, and cravings

-> “delight yourself in the LORD (GOD, YOU) and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

want:

the STATE of being in need, a lack or deficiency of something, be short of something

desire -> the state of being in need/lack

why do we desire?

- we desire something that we feel like we dont have currently.

- to desire is to accept the the state of being in lack of what you want

- this is not a bad thing necessarily, this is the beginning of creation!

- desires tell us what it is that we want in life! whether we desire a relationship, a new home, or a new career. desires come from a longing for something you don’t currently FEEL that you have.

what can i do about desire?

desire is a state that you want to get out of? it is as simple as embodying the state that you desire. how? how can i feel like i have something that i dont see? how can i be fulfilled when i still don’t have my desire?

desire can be instantly fulfilled within the 4D, the imagination.

if we know that the 3D is reflecting the 4D, and we go the the 4D and give ourself our desire, there is nothing more for you to do.

the 3D has no choice but to reflect the 4D. if you give yourself your desire in the 4D, you automatically have to get it in the 3D too!

understanding a want or desire

- ex. “I want $1,000,000”

- okay, great! why? are you going to just gain $1,000,000 just to have $1,000,000? maybe…but then what? what will you do with it? what it it for? what is the desire BEHIND wanting the $1,000,000?

-> financial security/freedom

-> being able to go shopping whenever

-> buying your dream home

why its important to understand desires

- first, it can be helpful to know EXACTLY what your end goal is; hence live in the end.

-> having the money may seem like the end goal but unless the story ends there, what’s the point of manifesting the money?? think of the reasons you want your desire

- it can help to avoid wasting energy on things that aren’t even what you truly want.

-> ex. manifesting sp to love you. why do you want sp to love you? (this is truly personal and you have to be 100% honest with yourself) is it because you truly love them and want to build an amazing future with them? is it because you want to feel loved?

what if i still desire after i give experience it in the 4D?

if you go to imagination, and see your end story but you notice the desire is still there, there could be a few reasons why:

- you dont believe the 3D reflects the 4D

-> you have to be understanding of the fact that the 3D is just a reflection of our 4D. what you give yourself in the 4D HAS to materialize into the 3D! That is the law

- you go to look for the desire in the 3D

-> this is the hard part i feel for most people, as the goal of manifesting something is to experience it in the 3D and there is nothing wrong with that! i feel like our whole purpose here is to experience what life has to offer! The problem lies when you look to the 3D and ask “why isn’t it here” or “where is it” after imagining. that honestly shows a lack of understanding/trust of the law and a lack of trust in yourself. THE 4D CREATES THE 3D. soooo if you give yourself $1,000,000 in the 4D, there is no need to get discouraged that you dont see it because IT HAS TO COME!

how does this help me?

- knowing exactly what you want can help a ton when visualizing, or living from the 4D. (IMO)

- when i think “I have $1,000,000” and visualize that, I see a ton of money lying on my bed. nothing wrong with this but we can do better!

- when i think “I go on shopping sprees everyday”, or “I am always able to pay all my bills”, i can resonate with that a lot easier and see vivid images of me going on shopping sprees daily or easily paying my bills!

this is a lot of info so take only what you need when reading! or maybe read it in sections! or maybe don't read at all! whatever you need to do to help you :)

either way, thanks for being here! :)

Pros and Cons of being an Overloaded Student in Respiratory Therapy

during my 3rd year, where majority of the subjects are major subjects such as critical care management, airway management, mechanical ventilation and neonatal respiratory care, i took up more units than prescribed by the university due to being an irregular as a transferee (2nd year). and so i had 11 subjects with 31 to 33 units with 6 days a week of classes. i was leaning on writing how i survived it but rather i think "10 pros and cons" would be a bit better for those considering to undergo this kind of process.

this is from my own experiences tho, so... yk

Pros

you get better at time management. you drown, otherwise.

less procrastination. like #1, you drown if you do.

you get better at juggling loads of school work

you get better at putting boundaries - your body knows when it's time to study, time for family and God, time for rest (although you still need to get reminded), time to socialize

your focus becomes... great (most times)

you get disciplined.

you appreciate your early mornings, rest days, people and God (should you ever be a believer). i personally love my early mornings where i spend about 10 mins on average reading the Bible before classes, it helps me cope with all the stress and made me more optimistic. i also observed things are better (ex. grades are higher in quizzes) when i don't forget to communicate with God before starting my day

its a good practice. as a future healthcare worker, even for my internship there would be schedules of 12-16 hours aside from the regular 8 hour shift scheduled about 5 days a week, with saturdays being lecture or research days, it's a good help.

you are able to find ways how to study more effectively. i personally figured out what study style/s are best for me and when i should utilize study style A (standard) and study style B (for exams, quizzes) and so on.

you learn to compete only with yourself. most times we compare our progress and grades with others when actually, we do best when we only look at ourselves and compete with ourselves yesterday and move forward with it because you understand that you are a unique case and individual and so are others.

Cons

quick burnout = it takes a toll on your health especially when exams come where all classes would require a written one (practical exams such as in skills lab, performing airway suctioning or arterial blood gas were a blessing to me)

major subjects = major requirements. sometimes you forget that your minors need some attention too at times

i only had 1 day of rest (sundays). i love going on worship services but sometimes you just want to rest and sleep the whole day ??

you get very, very anxious and jittery when you dont have anything to do.

sleep gets put off when there are tons to do despite being good in organization and time management. i once went 38 hours without sleep on an exam week, i think it was finals ?

...it was very difficult to study for exams held on the last day, especially during finals. i loved pulmonary disease management and hemodynamics but i was just so exhausted i picked rest over studying otherwise my vertigo might act up

when bombarded with tasks (ex. case study + other major presentations or tasks all together), it's difficult not to spiral. therefore, i suggest to take a walk, especially if you have a baby doggo

if you live with your family, its a bit difficult when they fail to understand you have tons to do on a daily + need some rest. i live with my family of 6 members and sometimes we get into an argument with how im unable to help around especially while im resting after class

it is very difficult to schedule dates with friends or siblings or s/o (i don't have a significant other so that's one less thing to worry about, haha). oftentimes when my older sister asks me to accompany her to the mall for a date or just as company, i spend most of the time in coffee bean, studying. sometimes i rush there when there's an online quiz scheduled in the middle of the day even without lectures.

you gotta sacrifice a lot of things. as you can see above: you sacrifice good health, time with loved ones and yourself, binge watching or gaming (me personally i set a rule if im not on a semestral break i dont play games), good sleep, difficult to commit to other things (uni organizations or work, etc) and etc etc

this being said, i don't discourage or encourage anyone to become an overloaded student as it depends on your unique situation. with mine, my faculty wanted me to supposedly join my batchmates for this year's internship but i was still left behind because there were no offerings for the subjects i needed to complete everything during the summer term and so... yeah, hahaha

other than that, id say i did very, very well both semesters !! not to boast, but it was something i worked hard on and sometimes you just gotta be proud of yourself :)

All The Hatred In This Country

All the hatred in this country

I sometimes wonder if I went to sleep and woke up on another planet. The world I remembered was kinder. It had more compassion for others, and it definitely had more tolerance for other people's opinions.

This new country we live in now has none of these things. There is so much hatred towards others that people have no tolerance for others whose opinions are not like theirs. They are quick to call you names, to cut you down, and try to make you feel less than. My question is, who died and left you all, God? What makes you think your opinions are better than others or that you are better than someone else?

I am not going to hate you because you have different political views than me, or because you choose to love someone differently than I do or that you're another color or have another religion. That is none of my business. I don't have any room in my life to hate someone. That takes too much out of your soul, and honestly, you don't mean that much to me to allow you to take up that space.

Besides, who am I to judge? I've done some shitty stuff in my life just like you have. We all have, and none of us is without sin, so how can I judge? So many of you preach the bible…but you dont seem to remember that he who has no sin cast the first stone? Nah, just the parts you want to use to beat people down with, yeah, I get it.

I know what it's like to be put down, to be called names, and trust me, it doesn't feel good. It's obvious that those of you doing this have forgotten that feeling or don't know it because if you have, you would never want another person to feel that.

So today, my friends, let's all try to be tolerant of others' opinions, of others' lifestyles of other religions, just a more tolerant period. You don't need to always put your opinions out there. If you see something you don't like, keep scrolling, delete them, or better yet, mind your own damn business and just stop all the hatred in this country.

Life of Persistence With God

MEMORY VERSE OF THE WEEK

=========================

+ Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

=========================

VERSE OF THE DAY

========================

+ 1 Timothy 4:16 Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers

‭‭=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM PERSISTENT

I AM CARING

I AM OPEN TO CHANGE

I AM WAITING ON GOD

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

Persistence is vital to anything we are doing in life, everyday , day in and day out , going and pushing forward, when I use to work out a lot I use to go every day, and I would do an hour on the treadmill and then 30 minutes lifting weights and 30 minutes in anything else I felt I needed to do .I would go at least 5 times a week, and I had a healthy routine and a healthy eating habitts because I wanted to lose weight and stay healthy and I seen so many postive results and it was something I did every day , I didn’t slack because of weather or because of anything unless it was closed for the holidays other then that I was there between 12:00-145 am but then I got so busy and lazy and I stop going and I lost the enthusiasm for it , and MOST OF ALL I stop being persistent.

   This is a perfect example of our spiritual life; if we dont take time, pray, and read our word, we will forever deal with the problem of being persistent. We can't let lack of sleep or anything stop us, not even family or friends, but we have to get to the place where we understand the benefits of staying firm and sticking to the teaching of God , its benefits in reading our words and feeding ourselves the things of the spirit.

The bible verse said to stay persistent we have to keep a watch out in the teaching of the lord because in doing this we learn when the lord will return if we don’t try to read our word when the signs of his return occur we will be lost because we didn't take the time to read our word, and that takes persistence we have so many distractions, but we have to learn to ignore those distractions even going to the gym it was so many that could have stopped me, but I didn't let it, and this is how we should be with drawing close to God !! 

We have to ignore anything that is going to pull us away from him, we have to remain persistent in our relationship with God , this walk is a daily thing and not a sometimes walk BUT I need it right now kind of walk.

  "Titus 1:9 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it."

   It tells us again here to hold firm to the word as it was taught so that we can give sound doctrine; how do we expect to teach others if we don’t read if we don’t understand? That's why every time we open the word of God, we must give unto him our ears and eyes so that we may learn from the Holy Spirit and not only ABOUT LEARNING ITS ABOUT APPLYING ; applying the word to our life helps us to live a righteous and holy lifestyle even taking in the instructions just reading instructions to anything just won't be enough but knowing and understanding what to do helps us further our path in the lord. Every time we are willing to give, God gives us more and more, but we first must show persistence and willingness to know more and do more in the lord.

  " 2 John 1:8-9 Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son."

   The Holy Spirit is telling us to abide in the teaching; it means to stay in the teaching because when we do this, we have both the Father and the Son, but when we don’t abide and try to learn and try to draw closer to God we lose PERSISTENCE, we lose the WANT —the FIRE we have to be the ones to carry the wood to the fire. God will supply the fire; when we take one step, he will take two, but we have to try, and we have to be willing to put in the work; living this Christian lifestyle isn't easy without God, but when we walk in God, and we walk in the word it is so much easier ,it is so much easier when we give it all to God!

***Today we learned that we must be persistent in our walk , and we have to listen to the instructions of God . We forget that vital step in this process , but in order to go day in and day out praying in walking in the spirit we have to be willing to dedicate our time into it ,that’s getting up in the morning , that’s setting time to the side to focus on God , we ARE WRONG if we are trying to this walk in OUR STRENGTH,but we must rely on God , he will give us the strength to do it . I know sometimes when we do something after awhile we get tired of it but that’s why we have to ask God every day please give me the strength because I have none , and he will replenish us ! ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father help us to stay persistent help us to stay focused on you even when the road gets tough, help us to keep our hand in your hand. We pray we don’t lose sight of the goal and every day our goal is to please you . Lord we need you so badly , we can’t do this on our own we recognize we need you more than anything in this world. Lord we surrender our members to you , and we ask that you guide us through whatever we face . Lord we ask that you watch over us as we travel today and place your angels around us every where we go in Jesus Name Amen

God loves you but if you dont believe in him your going to burn in hell via /r/atheism

God loves you but if you don’t believe in him your going to burn in hell Just ended a friendship of 5 years because he tried to push me into believing in god and wanted to “save me.” It’s sick and sad how devoted some people are to a false word, not even just Christianity. It’s insane how openly disrespectful they are because they are so convinced they are right and that their belief is the truth so who cares if they are being rude they’re just right! He tried to tell me all these random things from the Bible and twisted so many words and quotes from it and couldn’t provide any solid evidence that god is real. He got upset when I proved that to him and got rude and “disappointed” that I didn’t agree to give my life to a belief. All he kept saying was “god loves you” and “I’m trying to save you so you don’t burn in hell” and doesn’t even realize that he is blatantly contradicting himself with those very words😂😂. He begins to speak about how human logic is flawed and that’s why we should believe in god (more contradiction) He said “I can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved” I said “I hope one day you realize how much disrespect there is in that sentence” he said “it’s not disrespectful because it’s the truth” This is why I feel like religion is so fucking toxic I don’t know about you guys but I just can’t be friends with someone who thinks im lost and that im going to burn in hell for eternity, especially someone who only half ass follows the Bible’s word. He curses daily and does many more unholy things and picks and chooses what to believe from the Bible. Submitted January 09, 2024 at 06:25AM by Full-Practice369 (From Reddit https://ift.tt/ydgzhBZ)

Choosing To Love God

while i was listening to another sermon on the way home, something pastor said made a few dots connect in my head. so follow me...i'm gonna get right into it. God does not want you to just play church, and read your bible as part of your daily routine.

In order to love something we have to be devoted and disciplined. meaning, love is a choice to make everyday even when you dont feel like it. people often ask "what is love?", "how do you love someone?' First, understand that loving someone is an action and a choice. not a feeling that comes and goes, at the same time though, just because you do something routinely for someone does not mean you love them.

ok. that is a little bit confusing.

if i love you, i choose to love you everyday. i will not give up when things get hard, or want to leave when the next shiny thing comes around. I choose you. To love is to choose. Because of my love for you, it creates a want and desire to please you and make you happy. now, when things get rocky and say you kind of piss me off, i will choose not to let those negative feelings impact my choice to stay with you and communicate with you. Loving God is the exact same way.

God doesnt want us to just get things off our to-do list. make sure we read the bible, go to church, minister, etc. He wants us to have a desire to do that, he wants us to choose Him. A great example the pastor used is getting your loved one a gift because they wanted it, not because you wanted to get it for them. there is a big difference, trust me. in Matthew 7:22 Jesus says, " many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name?' And i will declare to them, 'i never knew you. depart from me you workers of lawlessness.'" Often times we do things because we think we are supposed to do them, that we have to do these things to get a well done from God. And that is true but we always forget the main ingredient. The love. The desire. we can do all of these things but what does it mean if we are just doing it and not because we truly love Him.

God wants us to love him everyday even when things are hard and we want to give up. The love we have for Jesus creates the desire to want to get to know him. And we must get to know him. even if you dont go to church often, Gods wants to connect with you. Just like in any relationship, i'm sure you can ask anyone, most people would rather thier loved one have the desire to do things for them and spend time with them. Choosing to love your person everyday is not something that is easy, yet we do it all the time. we call them, we ask them what they need, we check on them, we get to know them. God simply wants the same thing. We have to make creating a connection with God a priority.

Life happens, and sometimes you dont make it to church, or even get to read your bible that day. The great thing about God is that he is not keeping score. That makes me smile just thinking about it. You might feel regretful but the next time you pray or spend time with him, he is just excited that you are back in his presence. Like a happy puppy or something lol. You might be going to church and doing your to-do list, but if you still feel like you're missing something, like "God, i'm doing all of these things bust i dont see your promises". maybe your connection with him needs to be strengthened as well as your faith. you might need to slow down and evaluate yourself. Am i doing this because i love God, or am i doing this because the church is telling me to? Am i getting to know God or just crossing read my bible off my to-do list? Have i been treating God like a genie?

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for your word. I thank you for loving me and whoever is reading this unconditionally. God, i pray that whoever this post finds, that you give them the understanding of what love is through connecting with you and spending time with you. Lord i thank you for their life and thank you for leading them to this post so that they might hear from you and change their ways. I pray that you help us to love you and not get distracted in what we have to do in life or feel pressured by what we think we have to do in order to get to you. I pray that weight of expectations lifts off of us and that we get a strong desire to love you for who you are and not just for what you can do. help us to understand that your love is not measure by what we do and it never will be. your love for us will never change. God, life gets really hard sometimes and its hard to know youre there. thank you for reminding us that you have never left, and you are waiting for our return home with open arms, no matter how far we have gone. we are never too far. Lord we give you the honor and glory for what youre doing, what you have done, and what you will do. Forgive us of any sins we have committed known and unknown. in jesus name, we pray, amen.

Have you ever had a relationship with GOD/YHWH? Have you asked HIM things, for help/understanding?

What is stopping you from pursuing a life w/ someone WHO will never leave you and has your best at heart?

𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱: 'If you do not know where you want to go, then it doesn't matter which path you take.'

I'm always saying I don't know what is happening or why I'm feeling despondent

— so I agree we don't know how to live.

We're all unique snowflakes, but I think divorce & drugs and alcohol exists so we can try to calm down from all the anger and rage we feel when 𝘄𝗲 𝗰����𝗻'𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 — or the way we want to be treated or remembered.

1.]  If 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿,       Hell is basic entry level for everyone, &

2.]  If GOD sent HIS SON to die on the cross in our       place to avoid this Hell and lead us thru life by       HIS HOLY SPIRIT; &

3.]  HE says there is only 1-way forward & JESUS       is the way/truth/life, that no one comes to       the FATHER except thru JESUS. [John 14:6]

Why would we ever avoid HIS easy yoke? Why wouldn't we ask HIM in to show us the way?

We clearly don't have life/truth/way to GOD, unless we accept JESUS, & life/death begins forever after we're ejected from earth.

I wonder if you were to die in your sleep suddenly: Are you ready to be drop-kicked into eternity?

Case in point...

Rose you say you think about your mentor Albert a lot that he passed away suddenly [5:37] maybe that's the take away lesson here:

In the Bible it says there was a rich man who had so much money/wealth that he was thinking to himself he had more than enough to retire & live at ease for the rest of his life.

The problem was,

Luke 12:20 | ²⁰ But GOD said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

This Easter maybe try going to Church & learning about how you can store up millions in Heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. [Matthew 6:19-21]

Hey there, lovely missionary anon! Glad to see your kind around here, I thought yall were a myth. Now - time to answer your question:

Have I ever had a relationship with god? Well, you see, the god-nation relationship is very inherent to the jewish religion and nation, at its core. However that relationship is very different from what a christian fellah would see it as. We see pur god as all of the above: diety, king, sheppard, father, creator, concelour, therapist... so technically yes, but not in a way you'd expect.

Have I asked god for stuff? Of course, from guidance to success. Have I asked YOUR god for anything? No, why would I? He's not my god.

What stopping me from pursuing life with somebody who has the best intention in their heart? I know you mean in a religious sense, to which I'd say "who said I dont do it already lol". If we look at it from an earthy point kf view though, I'll be open and say that anxiety is the force that I have to combat on a daily basis in order to pursue social interactions, not to mention any chanced of a long-term relationship, so here's the reasom I'm still single despite being very close to 30.

In the middle of your ask you started quoting the new testament, and since I view it as heresy I shall not address it. You can believe in what you believe, I shall stick to my iron-age way of viewing god. If you want to hear about it - shoot me an ask and I'll gladly explain. Here it's not the time, nor the space, to do so.

When it comes visiting the church etc: as for my religious beliefs and practices, I view the church as idol worshipping, thus I'm not allowed to enter such place so long it's an active place of worship. The art in byzantine churches is very beautiful though, even the simple mosiacs such as in Massada. The mosiac in Meggido however is stunning, you should see it. I believe theee's an academic work in english about it. The one is Beit Shean is also pretty, albeit this one is at a market on the main street there.

I wish you all well my missionary friend, and may your easter bunny bring you more than just eggs

Do not Let Conception Become Your Idol

New Post has been published on https://www.ourlittledinosaur.com/dont-let-conception-become-your-idol/

Do not Let Conception Become Your Idol

Disappointment

When my husband and I were wanting to have a baby, we expected that I would become pregnant within a few months. Three years later, we were frustrated and discouraged. I asked a friend of mine to pray. She had struggled for years and then had her miracle baby.

Wisely, she cautioned me, “Don’t let conception become your idol.”

This is something that I really needed to hear as I was letting our plan to have a baby overtake my life. I felt like less of a woman because I wasn’t becoming pregnant and I was resentful of my husband because I was certain he didn’t care as much as me. I know now I was angry with God although I wouldn’t have admitted it at the time. Why wasn’t He letting my husband and I have children?

God’s Grace is Sufficient for Me

We became certain that we just weren’t going to have any children naturally. I had to pray to the LORD daily and say, “My husband is enough for me.”

I realize now the error in this statement, even though it was a step in the right direction, what I should have been saying to God was, “Lord, YOU are enough.”

You see, God’s grace is sufficient in all circumstances.

Remember Jōb

Have you read the story of Jōb in the Bible? It’s fascinating. It makes me sad. It’s humbling, and it provides perspective.

This man literally lost everything. He lost his entire family. He lost all his wealth and possessions. He lost his good health. In all that, he did not dishonor God.

A Story with a Happy Ending

The story has a happy ending (my favorite kind of ending!). Job was blessed again by God with a family and wealth, but far beyond that, he was blessed with salvation. God’s grace was sufficient for him…even when it was the only thing he had.

So whether you are struggling with conception or a trial of a different type, seek God’s will as you remember that it is He who gives us our every breath. Our lives are a gift.

Perspective

One of the lessons I learned because of the time we waited for God to bless us with our son, is that it is God who opens the womb.

Only He can create life. No amount of “trying” on our part was going to do any good without God’s timing. My husband and I didn’t “make a baby”. God made a baby, and He gave us charge over him.

I thank God for our son. I thank Him for entrusting this little person to us and we pray that we will raise him to be a good, kind, and God-fearing man.

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

My fandom Beliefs..

never quite understood why ppl need posts like this, but i think i get it now.. its mostly about kpts ofc but i decided to go through other fandoms as well while im at it.. so.. in order to avoid any further awkward interactions and unpleasant surprises here are my preferences and Opinions on controversial topics (that seem completely asinine, yet somehow garner strong opinions). may not correlate with what i post on the daily, but this holds more creditability lol. nothing is negotiable, everything is a subject to Revision bc 1) im unstable lol 2) the more you know..

KPTS: 100% apo, 20% jeff (yeah, i know, math aint mathing but wwyd its love) uhh.. so many sensitive topics, where do i start.. okay.. build: dont care, but some of his fans just happen to be Seriously Horrible vile ppl practicing double thinking like its a religion, so pls DNI jic mile: ,,,dont care,,, but some of his fans just happen to be Seriously Horrible vile ppl practicing double thinking like its a religion, so pls DNI jic (the irony of these two fandoms fighting sm isnt lost on me) bible: dont care, but some of his fans (ROSATURNS) just happen to be PRECIOUS RAYS OF SUNSHINE, SWEET CINNAMON BUNS, THE BESTEST PPL ON THE PLANET 💕 tong: oh boy.. i changed my opinion abt him three times.. hes a sneaky snake for sure, but i still like him, sue me 🤷‍♀️ ma and bbb fans: like unicorns, check your bias above the rest of the cast: dont care but i sorta like job bc hes toll and gives apo piggybacks lol. oh and annita is super hot and sprite is a queen ot16: yeah no, cmon, its bs, ppl cant even stan two ppl like they mean it you want them to stan 16 ppl at the same time 🙄 props for the effort ofc but even those who try have huge giant biases the size of an elephant family: yeah no its even bigger bs. you know how in commerce theres a rule that 80% of the profit is made by 20% of the products. hope the analogy is clear boc: well we have to give them credit for how kpts turned out, the problems begin when we try to identify the credit for what exactly. imo its adaptation of that trash of a novel + quality of the production, all the rest i attribute to the actors. while giving them credit for that its still clear to me that they are really bad at artist management and smm and are largely Unprofessional. you'll see me cheering on ppl hatin on boc, bc first of all its fun, and second of all i find this hate-hate relationship with the fandom quite beneficial for both parties. BUT like this topic is not hot for me, bc im not sure if any other company currently available in TH BL industry could have done any better. STILL i can see that ppl on tumblr for some reason like to defend boc even when they really really screw up big time, so if you feel the urge to defend them reading this pls DNI pond: dont really care, but his chase for fame is Amusing. and as a ceo all the companys pros and cons are largely on him kpwt: dont really care, if it sells it sells, they seem to be having fun with it. "but its cringe" - i dont think with these categories, if you do not like it, just dont watch it, like i havent seen 50% of it and im like content abt it the novel: its trash daemi: its trash shipping kimchi and/or jeffbarcode: not my cup of tea, but if it floats your boat go right ahead, im not the one to judge what i ship: kp (but its yk.. lukewarm), jeffbible (i honestly believe this is the only sincere rs in the cast regardless of its nature), apo with Happiness (regardless of its form) do i think my faves are perfect: well nope, clearly not, look at their frens cracking r*pe jks like they are being paid for it and we are only being shown the tip of that iceberg. i mean tell me whos your friend.. but i just think that my faves are better than yours 😎 bc yk jks abt age and bad habits (esp based ones) are just jks, jks abt r*pe are never just jks

YR: 97% omar rudberg, 3% malte gårdinger well im not that deep in other fandoms, so just some potentially controversial things off the top of my head wilmon endgame: well ig? otherwise what all of this was for? but honestly idc, if they decide to make it dramatically realistic i would understand second season: yeah no sorry i didnt like it, i watched it and i immediately forgot abt it. all i got out of it is that omar is super hot, which i already was aware abt. its sorta sad bc first season was lifechanging for me and also it was one of the few shows i have actually watched more than once . i will still wait for s03, but my expectations are low shipping edmar: not my thing, but generally its ok in my book if done respectfully (eg dont stalk dont send death threats dont let them see your sexual fantasies abt them etc) nurbo: uhh.. are they still 2gether? anyways idc what i ship: honestly nothing id like omar for myself lol (see there's no need to hate on his real and/or fictional partner in this situation). but omar+malte would be super hottt

TWN: 70% jaskier, 30% yennefer books: didnt read but like i Respect them and i understand that twn is a shit adaptation that missed everything that was possible to miss abt the books lauren: yeah i dont like her shes largely off putting geraskier: yeah i sorta ship it but i use the other half only as a shipping tool for jaskier, like you can replace it with anyone else, i wouldn't even notice (yeah, i know, the irony) blood origin: boring and unnecessary what i ship: geraskier and yennskier, which is groundbreaking bc i dont usually ship het, but its just so delicious honorable mention: you will see me randomly hatin on ciri, bc I JUST DONT LIKE HER LET ME BE

watcher: 50.95% shane, 49.05% ryan my toxic trait is believing that this fandom is drama free (pls forgive me this blissful ignorance) and the only controversial topic is shyan: yes i ship it baby. cmon i think the boys are also into it. in a fun way ofc, not a full on delulu mode. ofc i dont believe that they be casually fucking, but the thought is largely Entertaining. you know its there and if its there its there 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ once again no stalking, death threats, porn where they can see it, keeping it civil 😌

[viettna]

Abraham literally second guessed Gxd (not Jewish or censoring just hating on tradcath associations) so much?? Bestie what are you talking about 😭

Im rusty on my Bible studies so I’d have to check what Ruth did but Moses literally tried to convince Gxd not to make him the Guy which shows a) doubt on Gxd’s decision of choosing him and b) Gxd’s greatness and the supposed undeniability to the truth of Gxd soooo…

To clarify, no, I will not be interrupting my daily life to study the Bible solely to debunk a bad faith comment sent to someone /else/ with every citation present, but I can go grab a few verses 😘 (comedic kissy not directed at anyone in particular)

And no, I’m NOT saying there’s no witchcraft in the Bible. I’m not saying you have to believe in the Bible. I’m not even saying you can’t re-interpret the Bible on your spiritual journey. I’m saying… dont fall for someone reinventing the worst parts of tradchristianity and making it more palatable for witchcraft. I was going to say it a lot saltier but like actually, you just deserve better than to believe that you’re not allowed to think for yourself.

Wishing you the best,

Your fave Christian girly <3 (no I don’t actually think- it’s a sign off- urgh the internet lol)

Abram manifested becoming Abraham the father of many nations, Ruth manifested becoming the wife of Boaz, Moses manifested the freedom of his people. all they did was stop second guessing and just believed.

-Shit literally made up by Neville Goddard, an annoying 20th century mystical grifter who was very notably not an actual Biblical scholar or historian of any kind.
