we used to have more | oscar piastri

part 2 part 3 part 4

pairing: oscar piastri x reader

summary: while working as community manager in formula 1 you have to follow a rule of no fraternization with the drivers, which keeps you and oscar from being together

fc: different girls from pinterest

warnings: some characters have names (because there’s only so many y/f/n that i can use), some mentions of oscar’s girlfriend as her ex

a/n: so i have this one shot called guilty as sin? (that you should totally go read) and i’ve been thinking about expanding on it a little because i keep getting ideas around the same concept so welcome to an au version of my own fic in smau format, enjoy!

Letter to Patroclus

Patroclus, my heart's most faithful half,

Didn't I tell you to stay in the chariot? To not throw the spear? I felt betrayed thinking of your disobedience. The way your smooth tongue found a loophole amongst my words, just like Odysseus would, and you returned to me, unbreathing. Ah, Odysseus, back with his lover, Penelope, in Ithaca, and Hector with his family in the underworld. I saw the reunited family when I finally met my demise—when I saw Paris shoot that arrow towards me, guided by Lord Apollo. But to my utmost surprise, I did not see you here in Elysium. Paradise, they call it, for heroes like me. But is this even paradise when you're not here?

I wandered around, searching for your soul, wanting to express my love, gratitude, resentment, and guilt toward you. However, I am met with only great kings, princes, and other heroic demigods and mortals who know my name. Hearing my name praised by them isn't the same as hearing it from your lips—those lips I've tasted so many times. I fear the men and women after our generation would consider us mere brothers, cousins, or best friends. You are most definitely more than that to me, my Philtatos — most beloved.

As I sat by the River Lethe here in Elysium, I must confess, I wanted to bathe in it, to erase the memories of my pride overruling my judgment. Hubris, the sole reason I lost you. Then I pondered; I whispered your name, "Patroclus, glory of his father." Pater...Kleos...was the "glory" I was chasing and fighting for my whole life...you? You were there all along, begging me to help the Greeks, but my foolish self cared more for Agamemnon's insult toward me than your life. Briseis was right; you were worth ten of me…even more. I remember those nights when you, unbreathing, lay beside me. I'd jolt wide awake, screaming that I am finally here to help you win against the Trojans, against Hector. Then I look to my side, and there it is; your cold, unmoving body, your pale hands that once held my face. I shook your body. No response, and I, once again, wept.

I wish we were back in Chiron's humble abode, just eating figs, playing the lyre, and training. We could have grown old together. I could have thrown an apple at you and bound our souls together, Homophrosyne, like Odysseus and Penelope. But wishful thinking would get me nowhere now, wouldn't it?

With much love and regret, Achilles

Rafe had done all he could. And it was not enough. His master, a man he knew better than he knew his own father, was sent to die.

The king's whim had changed, and now Cromwell was to die.

Rafe did all that he could for the man who had raised him, taught him all that he knew, brought him up to a place of social standing and political power, brought him to a knighthood and brought him to his place at the king's side.

But now even though Rafe has spoken for him, defended him, read his letters of plea aloud to the king. Cromwell was still to die.

Rafe could escape the guilt that perhaps he had not done enough, that if he had ignored the calls for business, he could have saved him. If he had not listened to Cromwell and done all he wished to do, he may still be alive…

But no. He followed orders. The orders of his master. The orders do hold back his emotions and his desires to protect his position, his future, his family.

but what now was it all worth?

Rafe said his goodbyes the day before and now couldn't bring himself to attend the execution. Instead he hauled himself up in his offices where no one would see him.

And he wept.

He leant against the window and wept.

Rafe never cried. But today… He did.

He cried against the cold glass and felt like he was drowning in his own sorrows and in the endless tears he had no hope to conceal. He knew he shouldn't be like this.

After all he was a man. An important man, one with standing and a future. But no, he could not. Rafe could not even imagine a life without his master, he never imagined he would need to know such a thing. But now it was all true and he felt so heavy with the weight of all the world he was left with and it’s cripplingly empty silence.

But a single voice broke through this sadness, "… Ooh… Rafe.."

When Rafe looked up, his vision fuzzy with his tears, Rafe saw his wife.

Y/n lingered at the door, her eyes red from the tears of her own that she held back, she did not come closer, unsure if Rafe would send her away to be alone.

Rafe tried to wipe the tears from his face, tried to compose himself for her but he couldn't, he could not pretend, not with her. He nodded softly to allow her inside his office.

She shut the door behind her and slowly closed the gap between them, she sniffled back a tear and offered her embrace.

Without hesitation he fell into her, his face against her shoulder as he continued to cry, his arms wrapped around her as tightly as they could and he held onto her like she was the only thing kept him on this earth.

"I'm so sorry my love…" She cooed as her hand came to rub his back,

In his heart a part of him knew he should pull away, he should compose himself and he should act like the man he knows he is… but the greater part of himself desperately needed her, needed the comfort she was. He continued to cry but the sobs that wracked his body slowly quieted. His tears had slowed, and he now just held her, rested his weight against her and listened to her heart beat and her tender words.

"It is not your fault, my love. You did everything you could. I don't even think god himself could have prevented this." She cooed, her hand came up to remove his hat to stroke his blonde hair, "You know, more so then I, that the lords have plotted Cromwell's fall since the day he entered court. We should be thankful he rose as high for as long as he did."

"I could have done more. I should have done more," he said, his voice was quiet and rough,

"You did everything you could. You followed your master's orders. You know if you had done all you desire you'd have kicked the great lords from the hall and slapped the king into sense. And you'd be losing your head too for the pleasure of it." She explained, "Cromwell told you to hold back because you must, because he couldn't bear to lose you, or Richard or Gregory. He knows and I have no doubt is comforted, that he has saved you and the lives he had built for you all,"

He took another breath before he leant back from her and looked into her eyes, they still made his heart skip a beat at the sight of them. He reached with his hands and gently cupped her face, his thumb rubbing against her soft skin. "You are probably right…" he admitted, "I just… I just wish…"

"I know, I know. And whatever you need, I will be here my love. If you need me. Need time alone. Time to cry. Whatever it is you need to mourn I will support it.”

Rafe wrapped his arms around her tightly once more, held her body against his, "Can you just hold me… for now?" he said, he was almost embarrassed by the request. He was a grown man asking his wife to hold him like a child, but he needed it more than he could put into words.

"Of course, my love." She cooed, "Shall I lock the door? In case the children come?"

"Yes…" he said softly, "Please lock the door. I don't want the… I don't want the children to see me like this."

Y/n nodded and pressed a tender kiss to Rafes forehead before she went and locked the door. She slowly returned and took his hand, she led him to the fire to his favourite chair. And she sat herself on his knee as she always had when they were first courting.

For a moment he just wrapped her in his arms, he reveled in the familiar feeling of having her on his thigh like they always had. But instead of the joy and excitement he used to feel, now he felt the comfort of her presence. He buried his face in her hair, breathing in the flowery scent of it, feeling the softness against his skin and knowing that it helped soothe his rattled mind.

"Do you want to talk, or just to sit?"

"Just sit for now…" he said quietly, "Can… can I ask something of you….?"

Y/n nodded softly,

He let out a small breath of nerves, he felt almost stupid asking her this. But still, the request escaped his lips in a low voice. "please… don't let go. don't let go of me… just hold me."

"I promise. I won't let go." Y/n reassured,

Rafe closed his eyes and buried his head deeper against her neck, he held her as tight as he could, as if letting her go would be equivalent to letting her fall. He desperately needed her to ground him. He simply sat there for what felt like hours, though in reality it couldn't have been more than a few minutes. With Y/n on his lap, her arms around him. He didn't say anything, just held her tight against his chest, feeling her against him and breathing in the scent of her. His face still buried in her hair, his eyes closed as he simply clung to her presence, trying to soothe his mind and make it stop thinking, if only for a little while.

Y/n sat without a word she held Rafe close, and ran her hands through his hair,

His fingers tracing slow and gentle patterns across her back as he listened to the sound of her breaths and felt the feel of her hair on his face. He finally found the strength to speak after a while, his voice low and quiet but a little more firm than it had been before. "Can I ask you… a foolish question…?"

"Of course, you can ask me anything about my love."

He was quiet for another moment, "Do… Do you think… I am foolish? For how I feel? Do you hate me… for all this."

"Of course I don't think that." She said, "Why would I hate you? Rafe you where his ward your whole life. He introduced the two of us. Without him you’d never have come and asked to dance with me. He was there the day our children were born. He's like a father to you, why would I ever be angry at you for grieving such a loss?"

Rafe let his eyes close tight again as he listened to her words, he could hear the love in her voice, he let out a shaky breath as his hands once again began to trace slow patterns against her back. "I just… I just didn't want you to think I cared more about him than you and the family…"

"Of course I don't think that. I know you love me. And I know you adore our children. It's alright for you to have such care and love for the man who raised you too." She nodded,

He felt a wave of overwhelming gratitude at her kind and understanding words. He knew he didn't deserve her, he didn't deserve her love and gentle nature but still here she was, being the most perfect wife that he could ask for. "You are the most perfect wife in this entire world you know… I don't deserve you…"

"Of course you do, you deserve all the love and happiness in the world Rafe. That's why Cromwell asked you to step back, step away from all this madness. So you would not need risk this wonderful life and happiness you have."

He closed his eyes once again, he still had a deep sadness in his heart, a deep sorrow that the man who raised and loved him. But with Y/n there, with her in his arms and her words of comfort he felt like it would be okay, he felt like he could get through this without falling apart. "I don't know what I would do without you…"

"You never need know." She smiled kissing his forehead,

"please… never leave me…" the words slipped out of his lips before he could stop them, but he didn't care.

"I promise. Never." She cooed,

"I love you…"

"I love you too." She cooed,

Silence reigned once more, each giving the other a soft and gentle comfort after all that had happened,

"… Rafe? May I ask you to do something for me?"

He pulled his head back enough to look in to her eyes, "Whatever you ask of me I will do."

"…when you return to the king. Please… Be careful." She pleaded, "Cromwell rose so high and none of us could save him. Please… Be careful around the king these next few days, weeks, months… Forever if you must." She begged, "You have a household, a family, beautiful children who couldn't bear this pain if you were to fall too." Her plea was one of pure worry and love, concern for him and the life they had together.

He didn't want to upset her, he didn't want to scare her, he didn't want to cause her any pain so he nodded his head. "I will. I promise. I will be careful. I have no plans to go the same way as Cromwell and you and the children are the most important things I have." he pulled her closer against him, hugged her against his body and made the promise he knew he would keep. he leant forward and placed a kiss on her forehead and then her neck and then her shoulder, needing to feel her skin and her presence against him, "I will be careful…"

"Thank you my love." She softly smiled kissing his nose,

Rafe smiled, feeling the familiar and comforting movement of her lips on his skin. He buried his head back in her hair, inhaling the familiar scent of it, letting it fill his nose and calm his soul. He couldn't help but wish that he could simply stay here with her in his arms and just forget about the real world. But he had duties and he had to go back to work soon. But he wasn't ready to let her go yet,

Y/n cooed and stroked his hair giving him all the comfort she could, "If you're strong enough, I know the children would love to hug you goodbye today before you leave for work. Th-They are scared, and I know they want to see you."

He smiled at the thought of the children, But he also felt a pang of sadness, they shouldn't have to say goodbye to him every day, they shouldn't have to ask for hugs in case it was the last one they'd ever get. "I want to see them. Can you go bring them here please…" he said quietly, barely above a whisper.

"Of course." She nodded, giving him a soft kiss on the cheek before she stood and slowly made her way through the house.

Rafe stood up as well, slowly readjusting his doublet and his collar before he sat back down in the chair. He took a few deep breaths, trying to mentally prepare himself to see the children. The last thing he wanted was for them to see him all sad and broken, but he desperately needed to see them. The thought of their little faces and their smiles was both uplifting and paining in equal measure.

After a few moments, Y/n returned. Their four children with her. Their oldest, Mark, stood sad but putting on a brave face, old enough to know what had happened, old enough to understand he'd lost the man he thought of as a grandfather, and that his father now could be in danger. But he saved face for the younger children and for his father.

The twins Ariana and Alison stood in their little dresses, Ariana with her bunny and Alison with her bear, they knew something was wrong but didn't know enough to understand what it was or why. But both could see their father was upset.

And young Peter on Y/n's hip smiling unaware of the turmoil and just happy to see his father,

Rafe looked at the four of them as they entered the room, a wave of emotions filling his heart.

"Girls, go hug your father." Y/n cooed,

The girls ran over without a word and happily latched onto each of Rafe's legs,

He couldn't help but let out a small laugh, his heart felt lighter for a moment, seeing their eagerness and happiness as they clung to his legs. He smiled and reached down and gently lifted them up, one in each arm as he held them against his chest. "Hello my little angels…" he said in a quiet voice, wrapping his arms around them and pulling them close.

The girls hugged him tight, sharing a hug for both him and their stuffies.

Mark made his way slowly over standing beside the chair like the proper young gentleman he was growing to be,

Rafe looked up at Mark, he reached out with one hand and ruffled his son's hair. "Come here and join the hug with your sisters…"

Mark needed no other word jumping into Rafe's arms between the girls.

He held all three of them close, feeling their weight on his lap and the feel of their bodies against his chest. He closed his eyes for a moment and just held on to them, letting the sensation of them in his arms soothe his sad heart and his rattled mind.

Y/n smiled as she came over leaning on the back of the chair and setting Peter on Rafe's shoulder, the young boy giggling and crawling into the cuddle.

He laughed again at the gleeful giggling of little Peter as he clambered down his body and tried to find a place in between his siblings. He held his four children in his arms, his entire little world all there with him. He felt an incredible sense of love and protectiveness fill his heart.

Y/n softly smiled and wrapped her arms around Rafe's neck from behind the chair,

When he felt the gentle touch of her arms around his neck from behind him and leaned his head back against her.

"Do you have to go to work today daddy?" Ariana pleaded,

"Can't you stay home and play with us?" Alison begged,

"Father has to go. The king needs him." Mark said a sad tone to his voice,

Rafe felt a pang deep in his heart as his daughters pleaded with him, He sighed and looked down at his children, all looking up at him, innocent eyes and sweet voices begging him to stay. "I'm sorry my darlings… I have to go to work today…"

"…when is the next time you can stay home with us?" Alison asked,

"Yeah when? Tomorrow? The next day?" Ariana begged,

He hated that he had to disappoint his little girls. Ae took a moment to think of what to say to them, wondering what answer they would be able to accept. He tried to think of a day in the future where he wouldn't have work and he could spend an entire day with them, but he knew he was a busy man and it would be hard to get a day off anytime soon. "I… don't know… I'll have to talk to the king and… and see if I can get a day off…"

"And then you'll stay? And play with us? All day?" Ariana asked,

"Play horsey? And tea? And play in the pretty garden?" Alison begged,

He felt his heart tug painfully again at their sweet pleading voices and their requests. They sounded so innocent and they wanted nothing more than to spend a day playing with him, in the garden or in the house somewhere. he wanted to give them what they wanted but again he didn't know when he'd be able to get a full day away from the king. "Yes my darlings… when I get a day free I'll spend the whole day playing with you… we'll do all you want…"

"you will?" Mark asked rather hopeful himself but not wanting to admit it,

He smiled at Mark, knowing deep down that his oldest son wanted to be included in the promises as well. He nodded his head at his son, reassuring him of his promise. "Of course I will. I promise. I'll spend the whole day playing and having fun with all of you…"

"Could - could we go to the River?" Mark asked,

"Can we daddy can we!" The twins begged excitedly too,

Peter just giggled having no clue was they were talking about given the last time they went to the River he was still settled inside Y/n's belly,

"Yes. We can go to the River. I promise."

"Alright, give your father one more big hug and let him go." Y/n cooed,

Immediately the girls whined but slowly climbed down, Peter happily got scooped back up into Y/n’s arms, and Mark climbed off straightening up.

He stood up and smoothed out his doublet, "I'll see you all later my darlings, I will be home as soon as I can…"

Peter was first to give Rafe the biggest hug his little arms could manage, Then the twins squeezed him as tight as they could, And then even mark snapped and hugged Rafe doing his best to be brave.

he reached down and hugged them all tight in return, one last time before he had to leave.

Y/n made sure to pull the children away knowing he has to go,

He gave them a final smile, his heart full of love and affection for his children but also sadness having to leave them all. He leaned forward and gave a final soft kiss to each of them and one for his wife before he turned and headed for the door. "I'll see you all later my darlings. I promise, I love you all, always…"

The children all happily yelled and waved their affectionate cries of their love in return, Y/n blowing a tender but love filled kiss,

Before Rafe left and began his way to see the king.

How do you like the functionality of the palantíri? Sauron shares his know-how...

My dear lovers of dark secrets and forbidden knowledge! Today, we will talk about how to use palantíri — these amazing ancient artifacts, created so you can spy, watch, and manipulate without leaving your fortress. And who better than me, Sauron, to tell you about them?

Once, the palantíri were simply communication devices for elves and Númenóreans. But as always, I saw more in them. After all, why just talk when you can control?

The Beginning: Comfortable Surveillance

So, when I began actively using the palantíri, I immediately understood their main advantage — you can see everything without leaving the gates of your fortress. Perfect for introverts and dark lords, right? It's like social media, but without cute cats and memes. Instead, on your screen, you have the entire world: kings in their throne rooms, generals plotting conspiracies, even your enemies discussing how to overthrow you. Isn’t that the best reality show?

For example, here's a little life hack: when I'm bored, I tune the palantír to Gondor to watch Denethor nervously pacing his hall, wondering when his end will come. Or I open a feed to Rohan, where Théoden sits on his old throne, thinking no one has noticed him. Watching their fear is pure pleasure. And let's not forget the inspiring evening news from Orthanc: Saruman, as always, inventing something utterly useless.

Creative Solutions Functionality

But what truly makes the palantíri useful is not just observation. No, my friends, their true power lies in manipulation. I quickly realized that I could not only see events but also influence the minds of those daring to peer into them. Humans, as it turns out, are quite suggestible. Their minds, terrified by visions, are filled with the images I choose. For instance, once I showed Gondor a bit more darkness than was needed. And what did they do? They went mad and burned their ruler! I can't say I planned it, but the outcome was quite satisfactory.

Here’s a small trick to scare or confuse your opponent: start by showing some kind of horror, like a ruined fortress, corpses of soldiers, anything that will make their heart race. Then, slowly ramp up the pressure, showing them their own fears — imagine them trembling in terror as they see their loved ones destroyed or consumed by shadows. Trust me, after a few such sessions, they become entirely different people.

My Personal Development: Palantíri as a Tool of Deception

Everyone knows that palantíri show the truth, but it doesn’t always have to be the whole truth, does it? I found several tricks that allow you to play with reality, showing only fragments of it. One of my favorite strategies is to display only what benefits me. People love to believe what they see, and if you show only part of the story, their minds will fill in the rest with the worst scenarios. Manipulating the truth is so easy, it's almost boring.

That’s how it was with Denethor. I showed him only one side of the war, only defeat and despair. Of course, he didn’t know what was happening on other fronts, didn’t know his son was still alive. He saw only what I wanted him to see. Call it fake news if you will, but hey, I didn’t coin the term.

Practicality and Innovation: Durability and Style

Now to more practical matters. As it turns out, the palantíri are extremely durable. Just think: over millennia, they haven’t gathered dust or lost their functionality. Fëanor did a fine job, and for that, he deserves my thanks. A true quality product. And although the fashion for stone spheres has long passed, they still look stylish and menacing in any interior — whether in the Tower of Barad-dûr or a cozy study in the fortress of Orthanc.

A small tip: place the palantír in the most visible spot. Let anyone who dares to enter your hall immediately feel under its gaze. No one should forget who sees and controls everything here. Remember, enemies love to spy on you through palantíri, but nothing prevents you from using that against them. Innocent glances into the magical sphere can easily turn into nightmares that will haunt them for the rest of their days.

And Finally: My Exclusive Mode of Working with Palantíri

As a parting gift, I’ll tell you about my favorite “exclusive mode.” If I need not just to frighten but to completely break someone’s will, I use the palantír for direct contact. I stand before it, rise to my full height, and begin speaking directly to the victim. Seeing my face on the other side of the sphere is a special experience. A few words, a couple of hints, a slight smile... and soon the person on the other side is trembling in fear and obeys without further questions. As they say, face-to-face communication is always a powerful tool.

So, my friends, don’t underestimate the palantíri. They’re more than just magical orbs. They are windows to the world that grant you power and control. The key is knowing how to use them. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll meet through one of these ancient spheres. But be careful: if you look too deeply, you may never be able to turn away. And as you understand, I am always watching.

Yours truly, Sauron, master of control and great manipulator of the palantíri.

Canon Nora is just as stubborn as social media au Nora https://www.tumblr.com/writingsofwesteros/752430300488957952/httpswwwtumblrcomwritingsofwesteros752406540?source=share

The doors opened, and Jace and Lord Stark entered. She straightened her back, and looked up at them both defiantly- even if she felt demeaned by wearing the clothes he had picked out for her. Just because the gowns were befitting a Queen, did not mean she was respected- he dressed her in the colours of the blacks, red and black, like his mother, or his dead cousin Baela- and worse, gowns that pushed her breasts up as though she were some common whore. All her green gowns were burnt, though he strangely allowed her mother a mercy by letter her wear the blue she requested, rather than black. "Princess," Lord Stark nodded towards her, as Jace stepped closer. "Lord Stark....Your Grace," She forced herself to say, and she could practically claw at Jace's smug expression. "There is one thing that must be done before our wedding, dear Nora." Jace said, and she glared at him harshly. "What more could you want?" She spat. "You are to publicly kneel before the King, and renounce the late usurper King Aegon, the late Prince Regent Aemond, and swear your fealty to King Jacaerys Targaryen." Cregan said, and she felt the blood rush to her head and her heart ache simultaneously.

The loss of her brothers and sister were slowly gnawing away at her, and the only thing that kept her sane was knowing that someone had to stand up for her poor mother. But to publicly renounce them...she could not, not her dearest Aeg, not Aemond-

"What is the point? The realm knows I am to marry you." She said. "Let us not be naive, Daenora. It was known that you shared both your brothers' bed. You are not just sister to the traitors, you shared their bed, you were as integral a part of their treachery as Otto Hightower." Jace told her. "Some even say that...Aemond secretly wed you. Some say Aegon took you as a second wife, so as to try and keep the late Queen Helaena from descending into madness-" "A madness you caused," Nora snarled. "You bastards killed an innocent child, Jaehaerys was innocent-" "Lucerys was innocent!" Jace roared as he grabbed her face, staring into her eyes. "He was only trying to do his duty, he did nothing wrong-" "Nothing wrong?" Nora scoffed. "You are a fool- he flew there knowing the risks. The difference between you and I is that I do not make my family into martyrs, Jace. I know Aegon was flawed, I know Aemond was cruel, I loved them still- but do not pretend that Lucerys never did an ill deed when he nearly killed my brother that night in Driftmark. If you are so eager to ignore the truth, then your reign shall be one rife with denial, and chaos- weak, like my father's." Jace let go of her, and Cregan held him back before he could reach for her again. "The servants shall dress you, and you shall attend court in an hour. Be ready to do what is needed." Cregan said gruffly as he followed Jace out.

I adore you, you should write for the show . I wish I could match your skills :(

Jace being too damn emotion. Idiotic boy.

Nora spitting facts thank you very much.

How sweet of Alicent to have her blues back 🥺🥺

Cregan being as hot as ever ( why do I imagine Nora trying to seduce her way out of this with the wolf )

“You don’t know how much I’m living for this and I don’t even like her!!”///THISSSSSS!!!! I don’t care about these two at all… I’m so bored and over this. But my gosh, would people just f**king accept that these two are happily married and this is Chris’s life now?! My goodness! He’s ALWAYS SAID HE’S WANTED TO BE MARRIED AND START A DAMN FAMILY. BELIEVE HIM! Look at his actions. He got his S together… when he found someone that made sense for him & it was the right time. Whether or not YOU agree. Be a fan or don’t! Good lord! What are (some) of you expecting from then with their relationship? If they were to post all the time it would be fake, if they never post it’s because it’s not real. They can’t win. Some people share everything on social media, and some people don’t. For VERY obvious reasons, almost everyone in Chris’s life is being very private right now. I’d be TERRIFIED to share ANYTHING about myself given how beyond psychotic and delusional a lot of people in this fanbase are. It’s quite scary being a celebrity these days. Happy Tom and (possibly) Seb found someone. Can’t imagine what all these guys and their ladies have to deal with. People say, “well, getting into Marvel, they signed up for it.” Yes, fame is part of the package of being an actor… but it’s become beyond too much because of the batsh**t crazy way people act today. With technology enhancing stalking, over-the-top parasocial relationships, lack of boundaries, etc… are not components of the so-called “fame” that should expected as part of the job. That’s almost like saying just cause you work in guest service you should accept abuse from customers as part of your job. NO! GEEZ. Thankful for you ladies! ♥️ Send my love to 👑 and 🫖

This is perfect! 10 out of 10, no notes!! 🦎

[petit-papillion]

Now that I have over 200 followers (wait, what?! and also: welcome, everybody!), I think I should share 10 things to know about my blog.

Charles Leclerc is king. While I will post other stuff (see 3), 90% will be Charles. You don't like Charles? This is not the place for you.

I'm not a hater. I reserve hate for people who commit animal cruelty, hate crimes, genocide, etc. I like most of the F1 drivers most of the time. Doesn't mean I won't post memes about them, poke fun at them, or even criticize them (yes, even Charles). I've posted my tier list above, in case you're wondering where I stand.

I will post about other things that make me happy. Maybe other drivers, cats, Star Wars, quotes, beautiful nature, architecture, a funny comic, whatever. I only have one blog and I have my occasional "Liked by petit-papillion" days...

I don't ship drivers. While I am not opposed to ships for fictional characters (anyone have a ship name for Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy?), I don't ship real people. I do love the numerous friendships between drivers, and will happily post about my favorite ones.

I don't like posts that overtly sexualize drivers without their consent. Ice bath posted by Scuderia Ferrari? Yes. Butt shot of Charles on his onboard camera? No.

I love data!!! I know not everyone shares this passion, so I try not to turn this into a data-infested snoozefest. But I love F1 stats. Special thank you to blogs like @statsstatsstats, @champagnepodiums, and anyone else gathering data to share with us.

I also love to sleuth! Love the challenge of locating something hard to find online, whether it's an article, a specific photo, location of a video, when that photo was taken, etc. Special shout-out to @chibrary for doing the Racing Lords' work in archiving all that Leclerc history and lore.

I don't have any social media accounts. No Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook. I only joined Tumblr when I created this blog in February 2023. I am the ultimate lurker (won't disclose how many years I was lurking before finally joining Tumblr, but one of my mutuals and I go waaaay back - even though she doesn't know this). It is definitely a challenge to access content without accounts, especially now that Twitter has recently blocked searches, boohoo.

I'm very private. I may talk about my 2 cats Orion and Magpie, but those are not their real names. I don't like to reveal too much personal information, because damn, people online can be mean.

I love to create beautiful (or informative) posts. Which is why I am here. An outlet for my creativity. I am constantly inspired by the amazing talent on here. Before I started this blog, I'd never screen-recorded or edited a video, never edited a photo on my phone, never made a meme. I'm still learning though. I want to learn how to create gifs. And make beautiful edits. But I do have a very busy life, and I don't always have time.

This also leads me to remind everyone to please bear with me if I don't answer your ask right away. I see you and read your ask or reply, but whenever possible, I want to give thoughtful responses that take time. My inbox and DMs are always open though.

I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy being on here! 💕

2025.3.1 - thoughts in silence of boredom.

so partially out of fear and boredom, I noted that God speaks to me through social media, while doomscrolling. it is bad but since I know I have this weird, but good way of communicating with Him, I notice the messages he's sending me. true.... algorithm exists, but I see the messages in the reels I am supposed to see. are we in the end times, I ask myself? possibly. am I preparing myself? absolutely. could I be doing much better with preparation? absolutely. during this time of preparation of Jesus returning for Judgement Day, as a mother, it is hard to explain WHY I have to do these things, without cursing and being frustrated. so the best way I get it through my child's head, is to listen closely and follow me because I am a child of God too. knowing some of the surface level things that will happen before Jesus returns, I am going to prepare myself, my family too. despite the things going on in my family and with friends, I could care less but I rather approach them in a way Jesus would. softening of my heart and of my mind is hard but I convict myself more and more everyday so I know God knows my heart is changing. nobody wants to be an a--hole but loving God aka lukewarm. I surely do not because that will only get me in Hell. recallin' the tears I cried December 2020, I seen a very long video showing all the tragedies that occurred that year, including Xvid-19 plus much, much more, that is only God's warning of what is to come and what worse will happen. I feel so hurt that I'm among people that are blind to the eye of what will come. I am convicting myself more to be open with who I serve and IT SUCKS because I don't feel like arguing with these friends of the world and I am also supposed to help them NOT GO TO HELL. moments of speechlessness, moments of tears and thank God no moments of guilt but He knows my heart so I write because I want to look back at this showing God that I tried and am trying and will continue to try. I personally do not want to go to Hell. for these past few weeks, I've been researching things I've learned from my bible, I haven't listened to the music I once loved, I have barely opened my mouth, scared I'll curse and if I do, I say "Forgive me Jesus," but I am proud of my growth. I've written on sticky notes The Lord's Prayer, scriptures to remember by feelings and what I want to plant in my heart because I don't want to succumb in this world and die and go to Hell. idk how many times I have to say that, but it's not even a fear anymore. I've always been afraid to die but knowing I have to leave my physical body and one day and know I want to be in Heaven with all the gifts God promises us, I prefer that. I don't fear death anymore, I don't ever fear Satan. I've suffered alot of trauma in my life. I've been to therapy PLENTY of times but just finishing therapy 2 weeks ago was the BEST thing that happened to me. God forgive me but I was tired of that lady helpin' me. I just wanted to read the Word You've provided. The Bible comforts me so much easier than therapy from licensed, trained personnel. but saying all this is to just say... I see the messages God is sending to warn us all. I'm alert as I've always been and I do NOT want any distractions. I rebuke any negative monitoring spirits, conniving people around me to cease their wishes of me to fail and to hope I go to Hell. I denounce the devil and pronounce and announce Jesus is my Savior and He is King, head of my life, my confidant. I know as I write this that He is smiling and I pray everyday that he blesses me with the smallest things I can notice. I don't want nothing tangible from you Lord, just change my heart, heal my body and protect my family for what is to come. I LOVE YOU more than you ever know it. -Khameleon

Undeniably Blessed

John Sawyer

Bedford Presbyterian Church

12 / 01 / 24 – First Sunday in Advent

Luke 1:26-38

“Undeniably Blessed”

(Words for the Beginning – Week 1)

I may have shared with some of you, before, that a former teacher and spiritual mentor of mine, named Molly, has an e-mail address in which she lists her first initial, her last name, and the word “beloved.”  It would be like me having the e-mail address jsawyerbeloved@. . . gmail, or yahoo, or whatever.

I have always been struck by the claim that Molly makes with her unique e-mail address:  “My name is Molly and I am beloved.”  Now, anyone who knows Molly loves her, because she’s just great, but for Molly to be able to say this about herself – to name herself as “beloved,” to claim her “belovedness,” if you will – is something that is beautiful and kind of rare.  I say that claiming her belovedness might seem kind of rare, but it’s not for lack of trying.  

A quick internet search – especially a visit to Etsy.com – will yield any number of inspirational signs that say, simply, “Beloved” or “Blessed.”  There are thousands of these signs for sale – 5000+ signs that say “Blessed” that you can buy and look at, just to be reminded of how blessed you are.  It might sound kind of cheesy, but maybe someone out there is trying to remind us just how beloved and blessed we truly are – whether we believe it or not.  

You see, we live in a time in which loneliness has been called an “epidemic,”[1] and one in seven young people – ages 10-19 – experiences a mental disorder during adolescence,[2] and there seems to be a direct correlation between the amount of time spent on social media sites (like Instagram) and depressive symptoms, negative self-esteem, and eating disorders.[3]

People are more likely to be lonely, depressed, and have negative self-esteem than believe themselves to be “beloved,” much less “blessed.”  I mean, when was the last time you looked in the mirror and said to yourself, “I am beloved,” or “I am blessed,” and believed it to be true?  When was the last time someone told you straight to your face that you are beloved and blessed and you believed them?  When was the last time you told someone that they are beloved and blessed?  

In today’s reading from the Gospel of Luke, we find the story of a young woman named Mary who is surprised by a heavenly message of blessing and belovedness. 

As the story goes, the angel Gabriel – one of the few heavenly messengers in the Bible to actually have a name – comes to a town in Galilee called Nazareth.  The town of Nazareth is built on a hillside, in a kind of out-of-the-way place.  At the center of the town is a spring, where people – mostly women, and likely this young woman named Mary – used to go and draw water.  Nowadays, there is a Greek Orthodox church built on top of this ancient spring, and water still flows.  There is also a Roman Catholic church built on the site that, according to tradition, is the place where Mary’s house was.  By the way, this grand Basilica of the Annunciation is way larger and more magnificent than the rather simple church built, right next door, in honor of Joseph, the carpenter who would become Mary’s husband.  

At the moment of the annunciation – this Holy visit – we do not know where Mary was – whether she was at the spring drawing water or at home or somewhere else – but Gabriel appears to her and says, “Greetings favored one!  The Lord is with you!” (Luke 1:28). Other early versions of this story add that Gabriel says, “Blessed are you among women!”[4]  Or, as the King James version of the Bible reads, “Blessed art thou among women.”  By the way, if you hang out with me at church long enough, you might just find me saying to various people, “Blessed art thou among Coffee Hour Hosts (or Planners of Events, or Internet Livestreaming Gurus, or Players of the Piano. . .).”  I mean, if I can’t use some fun old-timey Bible language to give compliments and say thank-you, then maybe I need a different vocation.  

Anyway, the very first words that Gabriel offers in greeting to Mary are “Greetings favored one!  The Lord is with you!  Blessed art thou among women!”  The title of “favored one” in the original language implies that God has given / is giving Mary a free and gracious gift – a gift of divine grace beyond what anyone might usually expect.[5]  I wonder if Mary – a young woman who was engaged to be married to a lowly carpenter (from a good family) – had ever have been called “favored,” or “blessed,” or “gifted by divine grace.”  Probably not in this spectacular way.  The text tells us that she is “perplexed” by these words – deeply “confused,”[6] “stirred up,” “disturbed,” “unsettled.”[7]  “What sort of greeting might this be?” Mary wonders.[8]

First, Gabriel says, “Do not be afraid.”  (1:30)  These four words – “Do not be afraid” – appear something like 365 times throughout the Bible.  And this holy greeting plays a particular role in the stories surrounding the birth of Jesus.  Mary is encouraged to not be afraid in today’s reading.  When Joseph learns the news that Mary will have a baby (and that he’s not the baby’s daddy), he is told to not be afraid.[9]  Later, shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night, are told by an angel to not be afraid.[10]  

In a world that can be so full of fear and things to be afraid of, how much do the words, “Do not be afraid,” mean to you?

“Do not be afraid, Mary,” the angel says.  There is nothing to fear.  “You, Mary, have found favor with God.”[11]  Again, here is the idea, here, of divine favor, given as a gracious gift.  And then Gabriel gives Mary the good news:

You will become pregnant  and give birth to a son and call his name Jesus. He will be great,     be called ‘Son of the Highest.’ The Lord God will give him     the throne of his father David; He will rule Jacob’s house forever—     no end, ever, to his kingdom.”[12]

There is so much to unpack, here, but basically Mary will have a child and name him Jesus – a name that means “God has saved” in the original Hebrew.  He will have divine and royal authority and will have a kingdom that does not end.

This is big news!  Very big news, especially as heard by a young woman living in a land occupied by a foreign power, and especially because there hasn’t been a wedding yet.  This last fact is not lost on Mary, who quickly cuts to the chase with Gabriel:  “How can this be since I am a virgin?” (1:34)  Or, as Eugene Peterson translates it, a little more bluntly:  “But how?  I’ve never slept with a man.”  Gabriel has an answer to this, but it is something so mysterious and holy that people have never been able to figure it out, biologically speaking. 

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,” Gabriel says,     “the power of the Highest hover over you; Therefore, the child you bring to birth     will be called Holy, Son of God. . .  . . . Nothing, you see, is impossible with God”[13]

Now, I don’t know the last time an angel came and spoke to you, saying that you were going to have a baby, and that the baby would be the result of the Holy Spirit, but I’m just going to go out on a limb and say that this kind of thing doesn’t happen every day.  And yet, if God can choose a young, unmarried, ordinary woman from an out-of-the-way place for this Holy gift and Holy task, I do wonder what on earth God might do with regular old, ordinary people like us.

You should know that I’m not convinced that any of us are regular old ordinary people.  I mean, some of us might be older than others, but none of us are ordinary.  We are extraordinarily blessed.  I know this to be true not because I went to Etsy.com and typed in the word “Blessed” and found 5,000+ variations of a sign that you would hang in your house that says “Blessed.”  

No, I know and trust that we are extraordinarily and undeniably blessed because the God who made us and all living things and sustains us by the power of the Holy Spirit sent Jesus into the world.  This is a blessing that is lost on many and often forgotten.  This is a blessing that is often not appreciated.  This is a blessing that might not always be felt in our hearts, but this is a blessing – the blessing – that flows throughout our lives in a constant stream of love, and light, and hope, and joy, and peace.

Look, I know that we might not always feel blessed and there are plenty of times when – not unlike Mary – we have plenty of questions.  But, maybe, if we hear it enough, if we internalize it, if we claim it as our own, we might just start to accept that we are, indeed, blessed.  This isn’t some kind of “hang a sign that says ‘Blessed’ on the wall, fake-it-‘til-you-make-it kind of thing.”  No.

In the end, our blessedness does not come from us.  Whether we feel it or not, or believe it or not, whether we think it’s impossible or not. . . whether we want it or not. . . our blessedness comes from God, for whom nothing is impossible.  And whether or not we claim this blessedness for our own, we should know that it is God whose blessing claims us – in the waters of baptism through the Holy Spirit, in the gift of the incarnation of Jesus, in the constant reminders to not be afraid because we are beloved, in the promise of the resurrection, and in the gift of this meal – in which we are blessed because Jesus gives himself to us in love.  

Beloved people of God, hear this good news:  Blessed art thou. . .  Blessed are you, and you, and you. . .  The Lord is with you and with me.  May this blessing be a blessing to us and through us in this, and every season.  

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

If Uncle M.L. Could Tweet

Today's inspiration comes from:

King Rules

by Alveda King

"We need to remember that every age of every generation is the modern age. When we are born, there are things that humanity had either never seen or that had happened so long ago that we don’t remember. That’s why each new generation often thinks that the wisdom of the generations before is old-fashioned.

For instance, when I was born, television had only been invented a few years earlier. When my father, uncle, and aunt were born, automobiles were just a few decades old. When their grandparents were slaves, we all know how the way of their world was. Now, today, my children and grandchildren laugh when it takes forever for me to use technology they cut their teeth on. Yet while some things seem to change, some things never do. “History merely repeats itself,” said Solomon. “It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new” (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

In the early twenty-first century, social media is all the rage. I keep racking my brain for a way to communicate the message of the ages that my dear Uncle M.L. and indeed our whole Williams–King family have embraced: how faith, hope, love, and prayer are the keys that unlock the blessings of heaven. Suddenly, it came to me.

What if Uncle M.L. could tweet?

So for all the tech-savvy brothers and sisters out there, this collection of quotes comes from the timeless messages and prayers of Uncle M.L.

We are all one human race, destined for greatness. Let us live together in peace and love in a Beloved Community.

I’m just a symbol of a movement. I stand there because others helped me to stand there, forces of history projected me there. We are made for the stars… Let us join together in a great fellowship of love. Heavenly Father, thank You for life, health, rewarding vocations, and peaceful living in this turbulent society. God, teach us to use the gift of reason as a blessing, not a curse. God, bring us visions that lift us from carnality and sin into the light of God’s glory. Agape love, repentance, forgiveness, prayer, faith: all are keys to resolving human issues. God, deliver us from the sins of idleness and indifference. Lord, teach me to unselfishly serve humanity. Lord, order our steps and help us order our priorities, keeping You above idols and material possessions, and to rediscover lost values. Lord Jesus, thank You for the peace that passes all understanding that helps us to cope with the tensions of modern living. Creator of life, thank You for holy matrimony, the privilege You grant man and wife as parents to aid You in Your creative activity. Dear Jesus, thank You for Your precious blood, shed for the remission of our sins. By Your stripes we are healed and set free! Dear God, You bless us with vocations and money. Help us to joyfully and obediently return tithes and gifts to You to advance Your Kingdom. Deliver us from self-centeredness and selfish egos. Dear Heavenly Father, help us to rise to the place where our faith in You, our dependency on You, brings new meaning to our lives. God, help us to believe we were created for that which is noble and good ; help us to live in the light of Your great calling and destiny. Lord, help me to accept my tools, however dull they are; and then help me to do Your will with those tools. [Paraphrased] Our Father God, above all else save us from succumbing to the tragic temptation of becoming cynical. God, let us win the struggle for dignity and discipline, defeating the urge for retaliatory violence, choosing that grace which redeems. Remove all bitterness from my heart and give me the strength and courage to face any disaster that comes my way. God, thank You for the creative insights of the universe, for the saints and prophets of old, and for our foreparents. God, grant that people over the nation rise up, use talents and finances that God has given them, lead the people to the promised land. God, increase the persons of goodwill and moral sensitivity. Give us renewed confidence in nonviolence the way of love Christ taught. We are made to live together. Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the ministering, warring, and worshipping angels You send to help keep and protect us in all our ways. We are all one human race, destined for greatness. Let us live together in peace and love in a Beloved Community. Have faith in God. God is Love. Love never fails. It is our prayer that we may be children of light, the kind of people for whose coming and ministry the world is waiting. Amen.

A Prayer for When You Feel Alone - Your Daily Prayer - September 2

A Prayer for When You Feel Alone By Molly Law "Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted." -Psalm 25:16 Loneliness feels like the worst thing in the world, and it is something we all, at one time or another, endure. Loneliness can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Someone can be surrounded by crowds of people or with their family and friends and still feel lonely. The reasons can be numerous — whether they feel like they don’t belong in that group, going through a season of change they feel the people around them won’t or can’t understand. Loneliness is when we are physically alone and no one is around us. Some people find themselves isolated through no fault of their own. There is loneliness felt when someone desires to be loved by a romantic partner and that answer to prayer is delayed. It can be amplified when surrounded by happy couples, seeing their love, wedding photos, vacations, etc. spread all over social media. It can be felt when someone is childless, longing to be a parent and seeing their friends having healthy, happy babies. There are so many ways and reasons to feel lonely, and in those moments, life seems hopeless, dark, and sometimes not worth living. That is a lie from the enemy. Loneliness is a tricky emotion. On the one hand, what you feel is totally validated. No one can take away your feelings. On the other, loneliness, if left to fester, can lead to false ideations and actions that can be harmful. Loneliness can also cause us to bottle up what we are feeling. The lie that this feeling tells is that no one knows but us is going through this and that no one will ever understand. But when we have the courage to reach out to others, we will certainly find that we are not alone in our feelings — that someone else feels the exact same way. Although we may feel lonely and are not ready to share with anyone how we feel, we are still never truly alone. There is One who promises to be with us always. When Jesus ascended into heaven, leaving his disciples, his friends — he didn’t leave them alone, he left them with someone who would never leave them, someone who would live inside them forever — the Holy Spirit. “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). Throughout Scripture, God promises us that he is with us — we do not have to be afraid or feel hopeless.

Let’s Pray: Dear Lord, I’m feeling lonely today, and I don’t know why. I’m feeling hopeless, alone, and scared. I feel like there is no one to talk to about this. I feel like the only person in the world who feels like this. I don’t know how any way else to feel. Please be with me. I know your promise. I know you will never leave me — that you will strengthen me. I pray that you’ll surround me with your peace and with your Spirit. I pray for the strength to open up to my loved ones about how I feel. To find a support group with people who are going through the same thing. I pray you to relieve this feeling. I pray for those who don’t feel like they can open up to those around them, who feel like they won’t be understood or can’t be themselves. I pray for those who feel like something is missing in their life — that the world is revealing that they are the only ones to not be married, have children, have a dream job, etc. My Father, thank you for your overwhelming presence in our lives. Thank you for your peace and understanding. Thank you for providing us with your Spirit who will indwell us until we see you face to face. Thank you for giving us friends and family who love and support us. Thank you for giving us the courage to seek comfort in our loneliness when the enemy tries to deceive us that this is not possible — that all is lost. Thank you for your truth. We love and trust you, our King and Shepherd. Amen Photo credit: ©SalemDesign/BethanyPyle Related video: Related podcast:

Working While We Wait

"As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work."1

Being a musician, I receive great encouragement listening to and singing along to worship songs. I have worship music playing regularly throughout the day, and it not only helps my attitude stay on track, but I am blessed hearing my children worship God as well. I recently heard a song by Jonathan Traylor called "The King Is On The Way". The bridge of this song says, "While we're waiting, we'll be working. We're believing the King is on the way."

These powerful lyrics got me thinking. How often do we become complacent in our work for the Lord? It is easy to become distracted with all the noise around us, and we start procrastinating what God is calling us to do right now. We begin to think that Jesus' return is farther than it is. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 says, "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power…" If we take an honest look around us, we see this now more than ever!

When Jesus returned to Heaven as we see in Matthew 28, he left his disciples this task: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Go, baptize, teach… these are all action words! It was never in God's plan for us to sit back and relax until Jesus' return. Whether it be at work, school, in your neighborhood, or in your conversations on social media, we should always be incorporating God's work into everything we do. When Jesus does return, let him find us working while we waited.

Suggested prayer: Dear Lord, there is no doubt that your return is drawing near. Even knowing this, it is sad to see so many Christian's getting consumed by the world. Please guard my heart and keep me focused amidst the distractions. I want to be a faithful servant whom you find working while I awaited your return. For the remainder of my days on this earth, let my desire always be to reach one more soul for you. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. In Jesus' name, amen.

John 9:4 (NIV).

8/24/2023 DAB Chronological Transcriptions

Jeremiah 51 - 52

Welcome to Daily Audio Bible Chronological, I'm China. Today is the 24th day of August,  Welcome. So great to be here with you today. Today we continue our story in the book of Jeremiah, Chapter 51 through 52, continuing on with the Evangelical Heritage Version for this week.l 

Commentary

So we see that we come out of the words of Jeremiah, out of his Prophecies And out of, you know, a lot of this is also Well, I mean it's through Jeremiah because we know that Jeremiah prophet, but a lot of it is the Lord speaking. And then it says that the words Jeremiah ended and it goes into the fall of Jerusalem. And Zedekiah being a 21 year old man is becoming king and He He does evil in the eyes of the Lord and. I I actually really love that the Bible does that. Like We get a quick introduction of who this king is. It's typically what's your name? How old were you when you became king? How long did you rule the land? Sometimes we get a mom's name and if they had done evil or done what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and then we get a summary of their life. And so this concludes the book of Jeremiah. And what an interesting place to to to leave it at. And tomorrow we'll begin a new book and I think this is so necessary. I think the book that we read not to like, jump ahead. I try to stay so present with what we read. But I did just look ahead and I was like, you know what, I'm excited to read the Book of limitations because there is nothing like this in the Christian community that I have seen or that I have found In a way that's authentic and. You know, there's there's sometimes where like you just kind of have to have a day and you're like, oh, I just want to like listen to some worship music. And you know, like you sometimes they're just looking for a specific song to speak into something or what you don't know Like that song exists. Like you type it into the search bar and you're like, this is a song I wanna listen to. Sometimes you're like. Let me just put this on shuffle. Lord, you you speak to me. What? You want to speak to me? You're like, Oh my gosh, everybody's just singing about the same thing. This makes no sense. Maybe this is just me, but. And then you like trying to find and encouraging word and everything feels like so mediocre and surface level and it's like Oh my goodness. OK, let me go read the Book of Psalms where David Is willing to be real about the struggles of his life. Or the Book of Lamentations, the book of. One of my one of my trying to think of Ecclesiastes where you just read the depths of it all and you're like.Thank God for this, because I'm not alone in what I'm feeling and this doesn't make me feel Crazy for feeling these things and so I just love that because I feel like sometimes we can lack this in our lives and not that, you know, everything that we go through, we're actually indebted to Speak about it or share on social media or share with everybody. I think there's a time and place for things for sure and I think a lot of the times we can just Move through things so An authentically and the reality is, is it's OK if you're in these places, it's OK to need something a little bit deeper.

Prayer

And so Father, I just thank you for your word. I thank you so much that we have real authenticity and People's stories, I think that they weren't perfect and that people were allowed Positions of power and even though they abused it and did it wrong that we still got to see and we get to Learned from them and see like that didn't workout for them that way. And you know maybe they they hope for that to go better but they didn't really try or they chose wickedness they chose evil. And this is how it worked out. And I just thank you, that we know so much about your heart and your word because we are in it daily and so I pray that we would just continue to Always seek you out and always desire your word.His name We pray Amen.

As different as night and day. I lost my husband.Are coming up on four years ago this month and it seems like it's been a challenge for the family to be cohesive. It was already a challenge, let me not let me not give the impression that it was ever easy, but since losing my husband, it's been.More of a challenge as my sons have grown into men, and so I'm praying for.Unity of the Spirit and so that the family can be a family.
