[helpmy-unbelief]

introduction

just so people i follow know i am not a bot !!1!

hi, the name i use online is leia :) my pronouns are she/her

i became a christian in 2023, baptised into God's grace July 4, 2023!

i am a member of the lutheran church missouri synod, but am forming my own views on life and faith outside of the synod.

to be honest: i'm here because i have struggled with my faith since falling down an alt-right pipeline in 2024. i was in a horribly vulnerable place due to failing mental health, and was taken advantage of because of my desperation for a community. i began to believe a lot of things that i thought were true for all christians, but it was a lie. after realizing the pipeline i had fallen down into and clawing my way out, my relationship and perception of God seemed permanently disfigured. i'm here to try and rebuild things bit by bit with his help.

also, i kept seeing tumblr scs and saving them to pinterest boards so i said why not make my own tumblr account?!

anyway. here's some things i like

ladybugs

christ jesus

mother mary

noah kahan

my best friend (ask me about him)

art

children

love

what do you say to God? how do you talk to him?

"forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you"

[iscariotapologist]

i've said it before and i will continue to say it religion and God and life are so so so much bigger and more astonishingly beautiful than fundamentalism will ever allow you to see and once you and your God can get yourselves out of those tiny pathetic boxes they try to fit the two of you into you can find more genuine joy and meaning in religion and spirituality than you ever thought possible. if you want. i promise

God has placed His love in the small things, and you can taste it.

new art! 'Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Palestine'

One cannot speak of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, without speaking of Mount Carmel, without speaking of Haifa, without speaking of Palestine.

The mountain is Palestinian, as Mary was Palestinian, as Jesus was Palestinian, as the land is Palestine.

"There's no platonic explanation for this" <-you need to be nicer to your friends. Right now

Possibly my favorite thing from a vocations pamphlet.

[alagaisia]

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

[sarostheghostcat]

MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY

[wafflebloggies]

moon day is 20th July!!!

[silly-jellyghoty]

Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!

[kedreeva]

I scheduled this in 2025 to give you all a week to make Moon Day Monday preparations! I think I will order a little rocket cake or bake some moon phase cookies!

[dduane]

It's coming, cousins. ...This could be as big as March 15th if we made it that way...

[conceptloto-deactivated20251101]

To mock and belittle the poor, homeless and imprisoned is to mock and belittle Christ. When we care for the disabled and the poor, we are caring for Christ.

i dont care what you’re doing take 1 minute out of your day to watch this you wont regret it YOU NEED SOUND

[eesirachs]

eve lifts herself, touches her wrist. new flesh, hair knotty, flushed cheeks. the other one in this greeny garden felt for her like a womb, like an umbilical, unlit room. she'll never feel the ribby chora of him again, not like that. how does she not curl up, fall to her knees, beg for god to let her return to the feeling of being held. the worst part of femininity is not that you were once kept close to the other, it's that you'll never feel it again

[sandersstudies]

Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.

Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.

The next time I see an AI generated picture of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ something really bad is going to happen
