Jesus, Cats, Writing, and Life

I am: a charismatic protestant follower of the Trinity (God the Father, Jesus His Son, and the Holy Spirit), an evangelist, a fanfiction and original work author, an animal lover (cats especially), a music lover, a music performer, and a woman trying to live my best life for Jesus. I'm a political conservative who is not fond of Donald Trump's personality, but agrees with most of his beliefs. I'm honest to a fault, compassionate, strong in my faith, passionate, a deep thinker and feeler (INFJ on Meyers-Briggs personality assessment), and have a constant under current of Joy even when it's hard to see. You may ask me absolutely anything, and I will do my best to respond respectfully and honestly. I love Warrior cats, and will defend that Berryheart could have been an amazing character until my dying day. I am firm in my convictions, but I will always listen to others and try to keep an open mind. I am here to learn, love, and spread God's beautiful Message of Hope and Healing through Salvation. Always remember that you are constantly loved.

top things the Lord has been teaching me recently:

I do not need to pray God’s will into existence; I just need to pray that I would be aligned with it.

genuine self-examination requires humility, honesty, and an understanding of both God’s grace and His standard of perfection.

my job day to day is to demonstrate the character of Christ, which involves studying it in His Word and imitating it.

I will never be perfect or close to it, but I need to be very watchful and willing to change the flaws God makes me aware of.

with all the things God has forgiven me for, I have absolutely no excuse for holding grudges against anyone else.

there’s nothing I or anyone else can do to stop God’s perfect plan from happening, but I still need to seek His will in doing what’s right.

anything I’m not willing to trustingly place in God’s hands is an idol that I’m trying to maintain control over.

God is not waiting for an opportunity to punish me for the things I do wrong; He’s waiting for the chance to reconcile with me when I repent.

I don’t need to punish myself or wait a certain amount of time before I repent and reconcile with God after I make mistakes; He’s ready and waiting for me whenever I come to Him.

there’s nothing I need to do to re-earn God’s love and grace after I sin because I didn’t do anything to earn it in the first place.

the good things I do for God are not requirements for His love, but extensions and expressions of it.

everything I do for God’s glory on earth will have an eternal significance.

every good thing that I long for right now will one day be fulfilled when I’m in His eternal presence.

living in a close relationship with God and in accordance with His will is so much sweeter and more fulfilling than anything I might seek instead.

Bible verse of the day. I definitely needed to hear this one today 💜

[pinestripe37]

God has been teaching me about His Love and joy and peace, and this Verse has been on my heart after I've gone back to the post a few times today, the Holy Spirit has been reminding me. It's so powerful.

During times of distress we have shelter and peace in Jesus and we can still rejoice because God is our Refuge and in His Presence is fullness of Joy.

“I Will Carry You

When your strength is gone, Mine is not.

When the road is too heavy to walk, I will carry you.

When your heart is weary, rest in My presence.

You are not forgotten.

You are not abandoned.

You are not walking through this alone.

The same hands that formed you will sustain you.

The same Savior who calmed the storm will steady your soul.

Trust Me with every burden.

Lay every fear at My feet.

I will carry you until you can stand again—and even then, I will never leave your side.

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” — Isaiah 46:4

Amen! 🙏

Yeah... This...

[gracefulchristiangirl-deactivat]

spiritual warfare is real y’all.

the times when you want to pray the least are when you need to pray the most.

God doesn’t care that you feel too bad for Him. That emotion is the Devil talking and you need to rebuke that in Jesus’ name. He cares about you, because he is a personal being who has direct value in your life. so pray. Even if its just ‘Jesus I need you’

Emotions are temporary but the glory of God is forever.

[pinestripe37]

"Emotions are temporary but the Glory of God is forever." Amen! Exactly what I need to remember. 🙏

And emotions are imperfect but the Glory of God is Perfect!

Emotions change and fluctuate and are unreliable. With God is no variation nor shadow of turning! His Glory is Eternal and lovely and constant!

[sagekjs21]

Overall great sentiment in this post. However, statements such as the following are just not accurate or true: "God doesn't care that you feel too bad for him." Statements like that just hurt my heart. The rest of this post is very solid, but God cares about every single thing that has to do with us. Even our deepest and darkest of sinful actions, thoughts, and emotions. He cares immensely about these as well. Why? Precisely because he loves us. Feeling emotionally too bad to pray is a problem, and it's not an excuse, but yes, God does care about this. Because it means that if we really feel this way, especially if we serve him, we are being deeply afflicted and affected in someway. It's at these times that he holds us the closest whether we realize it or not.

Psalm 147:3 📖

God keeps His promises.

Dealing with a proud person gives you a glimpse of why God hates pride.

Pride blinds people to their own faults while making it difficult for them to receive truth.💯

[sagekjs21]

I do not recall ever despising life this much. I have never been more confused and just lost feeling in my entire life. God, where are you? You have the power to do literally anything, so will you please make all of this stop? Will you please make all of this at least make sense and use it for some type of good? Can you please just give me rest? 

[sagekjs21]

Just got a prayer request from someone at church. I sent just a quick emoji in response and she liked my text message and sent a reply. "it's a beautiful Sunday worship day. Hallelujah." Considering it's just after 7 AM my time and I've been up for less than an hour and I am not a morning person I was able to muster a very feeble amen in response. Anyone who knows me knows that getting overly perky with Katherine (me) before 9 AM will generally yield very minimal results and often times go completely over my head. Longing to go back to bed right now… Lol.

Get comfortable with being a bit uncomfortable. It could be the best decision you ever made.
