The "Go" of Preparation

A moral inventory involves honest self-reflection. This process includes identifying weaknesses, seeking guidance, and sharing with trusted individuals for support. Acknowledging flaws is the first step toward improvement, and accountability partners can

Today’s podcast discusses the concept of moral inventory as a vital tool for personal growth and spiritual preparation. It emphasizes that growth is an ongoing journey, not a final destination. Conducting a moral inventory helps individuals recognize their faults and strengths, guiding them toward genuine change and healing. Preparation is essential in our spiritual lives. Just as we prepare for…

(Personal ‘Being A Certain Kind Of Autistic’ Moment:)

(You ever think you’re too hinged? I was gonna say for the internet but since covid so many of the neurotypicals in real life are actually worse.

Like someone has an inappropriately strong emotional reaction to the benign, and you’re like ‘okay they’re triggered, walk away with no eye contact’. Then you see other people doing it. And more and more. Not about the same things, different things, random things. And you’re just… Is it me? Am I too hinged?

I’m not saying I’m never triggered but I always tell myself ‘hey before you interact with anyone, stop being such a freak’ if I feel like I’m in danger of being rude to or about a Human Person. And I know that’s autism training, learning to catch yourself; but also clearly not everyone bothers, even the neurotypicals anymore hence irl situations where you’re just watching some 55 year old woman go off on a receptionist over literally nothing.

Like you’ll watch people stew themselves to a rolling boil over things they’ve…made up in their head? When they could just…not do that? Or could assume the best? Like they pre-order rage for things that haven’t even happened yet. Not like political things where you could argue that it could incentivise action but like raging about how film/book in a series/event is going to be so terrible, beyond simple mental prepping for disappointment.

It’s like I feel too mentally healthy compared to everyone else. But even plenty of irl people I know who absolutely wouldn’t consider themselves (or be considered by me as) mentally unwell in any regard are like this.

I know me having the flavour of autism where ‘everything has to have a reason, but when you understand what it is you don’t feel the need to be upset about it anymore’ kind of makes this worse. Because that’s not how real people feel things. But I dunno. Feels like it’s getting…more, doesn’t it? I mean it is, must be, had a Doctor Who episode kind of about it a week ago. But it’s got me feeling autistic alien again. Even on the autism site.)

It’s been hard to write …

I want to come on tumblr and write the most depressing shit I could think off

But lately I been fighting my urges of being sad and alone

Although some days I’m broken

And let me tell you

The nights are worse.

It’s been hard to write…

I been working on being positive

Even through those days

That I just want to quit.

Even through the nights

That I wish I could just go and forget.

I used to live craving to die

But once I’m dead , they’ll be no room for regret .

What if my thirst to die

Can be quenched?

What if life is more than

What I have seen?

What if I yet don’t understand

What life means?

Those are questions I don’t want to die with.

Spiritual warfare

As I deepen my relationship with God, I find myself stepping into a new realm—spiritual warfare. This isn't just a metaphor but a real, daily battle to protect my faith, mind, and heart from the forces that seek to pull me away from my walk with Christ. I’ve realized that this warfare is part of the journey to spiritual growth, a necessary challenge as I grow closer to Him. It’s not just about surviving the battles—it’s about being transformed by them, becoming stronger, more faithful, and deeply rooted in His truth.

Looking back on old Discord messages like oh my fucking God I was so annoying two years ago

[tears-that-heal]

At a Sunday Morning Service…..

While sitting in a church pew listening to my pastor preach from God’s Word, a feeling of fatigue came over me. I could easily visualize myself lying down on the cushioned church pew to both rest and continue listening to my pastor’s message. It was a wonderful thought to me cause it illustrates well on my relationship with my church. Please know, I didn't literally lay on the pew. Lol 😋 Also dealing with fatigue is a common occurrence for me, so please no worries.

Being at church gives me both peace and rest on multiple levels. It is the people who make up the church; the body of christ. Not a building. It's my place to weekly recover and recharge. This concept maybe foreign or unreliable to many, but this relationship with my church or spiritual family has been in the works for almost 20 years. It started with me choosing to make my religious faith into my own personal and spiritual faith in Jesus. My walk with Jesus is all about being personal and real, always. It's the same type of relationship with a best friend, it's someone who you fully trust with the good, the bad and the ugly times of your life. That sounds like freedom to me! Anywho, like a best friend relationship, it usually takes time for it to develop. That is also true with a personal relationship with Jesus.

I better stop myself there before I get overly carried away, Lol Church has became a place to be truly myself, the woman He originally designed me to be. It's honestly boiled down to this simple truth; choose to Trust God all day, everyday! Maybe someday soon you'll too experience His rest and peace. In Jesus Name, Amen!
