I broke my foot recently, and that's been just a tiny bit of a struggle to navigate around. It's likely just a hairline fracture, so nothing too serious. However, prayers for swift and uncomplicated healing would be much appreciated
I'd really like for this to not interfere with my work or my sister's upcoming wedding 🙏

@awesomebutunpractical @my-mom-does-not-have-it-going-on @vitamaeternum @roymancatholicmustang @happygoosebird @tolkienreader1996, how was your sunday?
Thanks @my-mom-does-not-have-it-going-on ! I was being chased by a pack of coyotes in a dream which had woken me up. The adrenaline's finally going down, thankfully. I hope your appointment goes well today! Probably going to work on improving the garden today.
Checking in with @matersubcruce @argen-lobo-ridder @milksugarjams @argentumcor @corvusherpestidae @citadelofthestars @renaissancerevival and anyone else who's a moot/follower!
I'm eating a late breakfast after having a good sleep. Feeling energetic, so I'm doing my best to stick to a schedule today. I have to keep working on an essay script and some thumbnails, but there's a library trip I need to make later, as well. Best of luck with the garden!
thank you I am Very Full after very nice family lunch outing. the skin infection has been markedly less annoying today. Bear has been easy to care for the past couple days :)
believe it or not, you are not the exception to hope and redeem-ability. you too have a future with potential. you too are deserving of goodness and healing and forgiveness. sometimes that’s the hardest truth to believe, because you are blinded by your own self loathing but it is still the truth. i promise, for what that’s worth.
one of my sisters is pagan and she’s moving back in w my family and me today, temporarily. she had an altar in her room at her previous home…i respectfully told her that while we love her, we just wouldn’t be comfortable having that in the home. she’s putting it in storage until her next move.
i love my sister dearly. she’s awesome and we have a good relationship with one another. i really really want to see her and the rest of my siblings in heaven one day. one time she told me she wasn’t fully closed off to Jesus, that she believed in Him too, just not as the god she wants to worship.
please pray that while she’s away from these demonic items and temporarily in a Christian home that seeds will be planted in her. please pray that the Lord will reveal Himself to her through His Word, dreams and visions, and people she meets. please pray that she’ll decide to come to church with us at least one day, and maybe even read the bible with us. please pray that Jesus will convict her in her heart, and stir up her heart to create curiosity of Him. and please pray that the Lord will use my family and me to help reach her.
1 billion bibles burned. Churches torn down. Men, and women thrown into “transformational camps” with no trial, no jury, no escape. Tortured, damaged and missing organs. But take heart for they have Spirit and Faith, memorizing whole books of the Bible, evangelizing in whispers, baptisms underground. Pray for them. Remember them. For the Lord of Heaven hears their cries and sees them when the world, the media refuses to look.
please pray for a teacher who fell to their death from the upper floor of their elementary school yesterday, and the young students who saw it happen 🙏🏻
It looks like my parents' 15-year-old dog is about to die. He's quit eating He is, frankly, a neurotic lunatic, and not really the dog you wanted to live that long. Still, he's a good boy who loves us and is loved by us and I ask you to pray that his passing is peaceful.
Hello is the first thing I would like to say to the person sending this question. I'm sorry that you felt you had to ask anonymously, or that you thought you couldn't message me personally to ask, but I'm glad you've sent me this question, because it gives me an opportunity to explain my point of view and for you to consider it before engaging with me in future, assuming my viewpoint in going to impact that.
In a general statement: I am not in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
If you choose to stop reading at that, then I am sorry to have offended you. However, I will explain my reasoning below should anyone wish to try to understand why I believe this. I will include a read-more in case you wish to skip past this. I hope you have a nice day either way <3
From a young age, I have always believed that it was wrong to encourage and promote being LGBTQ+. This is partially due to the way I was raised - my parents are also Christian and so I was always taught that homosexuality etc was against the will of God. However, I also believe that it is my own personal opinion and that I think that independently of my parents views.
I know a lot of people dispute whether the Bible is truly against homosexuality or not, whether God condemns LGBTQ+ individuals, and whether they can seek forgiveness and grace too.
What I will say is this: God's grace extends to everybody, regardless of skintone or race or religion or any other factor. He desires that we should all come under his mercy and that we would become his children. So yes, I do believe LGBTQ+ people can be saved.
However, I think it is also important to recognise that God does not condone this sin any more than he approves of lying, or murder, or adultery (cheating), or anything else he warns against in the Bible.
Regardless of the edition of the Bible you read from, there are always allusions to homosexuality, whether they are explicitly stated or danced around. In my personal opinion, whether the Bible states the word 'homosexuals/gays' or not is irrelevant, if it alludes to them, then they are who it is talking about.
I know some people debate whether the verses in Leviticus 18 and 20 truly refer to homosexuality or whether they are instead allusions to paedophilia. In my opinion, they discuss homosexuality, and whether they said exactly that in the original Hebrew text or not is difficult to tell, because the Hebrew version itself would have been updated a dozen times between Moses first writing them and when the texts were compiled to form the Bible. As such, there is very little way of truly knowing what the original chapter in Leviticus was referring to. However, I believe that God played a vital role in the translation of the Bible into English, and so it is my opinion that he would not have allowed them to translate it as referring to homosexuality, if that was not something he condemned.
Furthermore, there are plenty of other places within the Bible where homosexuality is discussed to some extent. In the case of Sodom and Gomorrah (two cities which were set on fire by God for their sin) we know the men living there were homosexuals as they desired to have sexual relations with a pair of angels who had taken on the form of men. Many people argue that their crime was rape rather than homosexuality, however it is impossible to deny that the Sodomites were homosexuals, and so I personally believe that added to their sins on top of their tendency to do harm and their riotous lifestyles.
In the New Testament, Romans 1:26-27 discusses both lesbianism and male homosexuality, saying that this form of passion was unnatural and against God's desires for humanity.
Similarly, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 states that homosexuality has no place amongst Christians. However, crucially, it claims that there were people within the church who had practised the list of sins it states there (which include stealing, (male) prostitution, and cheating alongside homosexuality) who had since become clean as they had entered into the church and given up their former sins.
This, I believe, is a very important point, as it means that homosexuals absolutely can become Christians, however it means that they must give up the desires they felt in order to do so.
And I'm a sinner too. If I didn't acknowledge that then I couldn't be a Christian. I've told lies and taken things I shouldn't have done, but becoming a Christian means learning how to be more like Jesus, and to do that you have to give up the things your body wants and what this world wants you to want.
I believe that homosexuality (and all other forms of LGBTQ+) were sins which came into the world when Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the tree of good and evil, just like all other sins, and I believe they are desires which can be overcome if a person is willing to work with God to do so.
And perhaps you disagree with me. Perhaps you find my view so utterly disgusting and horrifying that you are going to block me. And for that I am sorry, because if so I think you have a harsher view than me. My intention is never to insult or to hurt people who hold different views, simply to express mine in a world which condemns my view and would rather encourage sin. I have lost friends over the fact that they hated my view so much that they couldn't stand to be in my presence, and yet a lot of the time I'll find that people say I hate all LGBTQ+ people for who they are. Which I don't. I hate the sin which has taken them away from a God who loves them beyond all else, and I desire that one day they will become my family in Christ.
And I hope you leave a comment below, or that you ask any more questions you have, anonymous person who chose to ask me this. Or anyone else who has made it this far.
I will say though, that I hope your comment isn't telling me I'm an awful person, or attempting to drag me through the mud for my views. I hope that it genuinely considers everything I have said and that even if you disagree with me, you will try to understand if you choose to say something.
Hey guys. Sorry if this is silly, but if anyone is interested in praying for my duckling that would be nice. She's 4.5 weeks old and she's limping. I think it's my fault, I think I must have hurt her or something because she started limping after I grabbed her to put her in a pen so she wouldn't wander to the road while I went to work, and she wouldn't just go on her own like usual. Maybe I grabbed her too roughly, I feel horrible. She is eating and drinking and swimming normally, and this is day two of limps. It's only limps and her laying down more than usual, but I don't know. I feel awful.
Friendly reminder that the devil will practically beg you to do that bad thing you know you shouldn't do, and then the instant you actually do it, turn around and start telling you how horrible of a person you are.
It's basically like: "Yes, you know you want it. It's probably not even that bad. Nobody will find out. It's actually fine. This is good actually. Just do things your own way for once. You deserve this."
"... Oh... Oh dear... What have you done? ...What have you done, Y/N? How could you do something so horrible? ...You are a disgusting creature. The Lord will never forgive you for this."
It's just... so incredibly insidious and manipulative. Though I wouldn't expect anything less.
