y'all telling me,

you agree that the unborn in the womb is, in fact, a living developing child

but if by any chance and for any reason their mother decides: "actually I don't wanna give birth cuz that's, like, hard and inconvenient"

suddenly that child’s life no longer matters because her choice is more important?

being with other Christians just...feels like home. I don't have any other way to put it. it's not just merely shared interests or life goals or similar personalities. something else binds us together, something sacred. holy. and this world will not be it for us; we have much to look forward to in eternity, together. there's nothing sweeter than fellowship with those who are in Christ. truly.

hormones be so wild that anything about God/Jesus makes me cry

pastor talking about how much more beautiful Jesus gets the more you walk with Him? instant tears

a kids' show singing about how good God is and how He always provides for us? girl I am crying

reading a book with toddler about the gospel? my eyes are absolutely wet with tears

the Lord will one day make all things right.

what great comfort for His elect.

what great horror for His enemies.

[semperreformanda]

the world really is that evil.

but God really is that good, if not more... and His justice will be swift.

may God have mercy on His enemies.

I think a lot of surrogacy apologists really don’t know much about it and accept the simple argument that women should be able to do what we want with our bodies. Sure we should! Now go read a surrogacy contract and maybe you’ll realize that surrogacy involves intense monitoring of and control over women’s bodies. Surrogate pregnancies are also higher risk than typical pregnancies

sorry i can't take you seriously when you voice your concerns against ICE when you vehemently support and actively fight for mothers' freedom to kill babies in their wombs

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Romans 8:18-25

guys i submitted 5 of my artworks to a local exhibit and they accepted me !!!

i even waited last minute because i wasn't sure nor was i confident but it was open to all, so i figured why not. i haven't painted in a good while because i've been busy with sourdough (lol) but this is definitely rekindling my desire to paint again 🥹
