Disclaimer: This blog is 100% satirical, and commentary on my own experience with evangelical religion as the child of immigrants. I do not espouse or condone the sentiments most of my characters express.

(Shekinah’s POV)

Walter called off his courtship with Katrina. I’m hearing conflicting stories about what happened, but either way, God hasn’t made them a match. I pray he doesn’t get discouraged in his search for a helpmeet.

Always, Shekinah <3

Sunday, 1:07 PM, Canyon Crossing Baptist Church, Chestnut Ridge

Katrina: Hmm, I thought my brother would be back from the restroom by now.

Walter: We should take advantage of being alone like this.

Katrina: What do you mean by that?

Walter: Kiss me.

Katrina: No! Stop get off of me!

Walter: Did you just fucking push me?

Katrina: I’m sorry. I panicked. I… I wanted to save my first kiss for the altar. Surely you understand, Walter?

Walter: When I ask you to do something, you do it. If i want to kiss you I’m going to kiss you. If I want something more, you better give it to me. Got it?

Katrina: Walter, I want to keep my purity. Don’t you know that’s important to me and my family? Yours too, right?

Walter: I don’t care. I do what I want. And what I want to do is you.

Katrina: Please, no…

Shaun: Hey! What are you doing to her?

Walter: Nothing!

Shaun: Don’t lie in church! I saw you!

Walter: It’s a misunderstanding! Katrina, tell your brother to back off!

Katrina: Yeah. We’re fine. *mouths* Help me.

Recently I went back home to attend my brother Stanley’s wedding!

My parents are very glad that he and Deisy are finally married. They had been living together (in sin) for about 5 years now. To any youngsters reading: marry as soon as possible! It’s the only way your union can be recognized by God!

There was one thing I did love about their wedding: Stanley and Deisy took a moment to pray together before their vows. How romantic!

Wishing you well, Winnie <3

Walter is courting!

He’s courting a lovely lady from our church named Katrina! Walter expressed his interest in Katrina to his parents, because of Katrina’s soft spoken personality. Meekness is a quality that he (and most men) really like in a woman, so I think Katrina is the perfect match for him!

Always, Shekinah <3

Hello all! I’ve received a lot of messages asking why I didn’t come with Declan to the convention. The answer is I was so busy with baby Grey! I wasn’t ready to take a trip with him just yet. I’m still getting used to this whole “mom” thing. I’ll see you all next year!

Wishing you well, Winnie <3

…Later that day

[shinyhappysims]

(Shekinah’s POV)

Walter and my youngest daughter Bernie shared a birthday today. Walter turned 18 and Bernie’s a teen now.

Walter is still the lovable scamp he’s always been. As he gets older I do worry about his temper. I pray he gets it under control.

Bernie is such a flirt. I have to make sure she reins in her personality a little bit. Wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea about her.

Always, Shekinah <3

Hello church family! I’m overjoyed to announce that Declan and I welcomed our first baby! Our precious boy is named Greyson! Thank you all for blessing us with gifts and wisdom as we navigate parenthood for the first time! We’re loving this season of sweet baby snuggles!

Wishing you well, Winnie <3

[shinyhappysims]

Hello all, My family gathered at our house for my joint baby shower and gender reveal. It was so good to see my family together under one roof to celebrate the little life I’m preparing to welcome.

For a fun little game, we had everyone pick a pair of pink or blue glasses to show their guess for baby’s gender. I was caught up in all the chaos so I didn’t get to pick up some glasses, but let the record show I was team boy!

And when the time came to find out… Declan and I got our wish! O’Connor number 1 is a boy! He’ll be here any day now. I’m so glad to know our boy is already so loved.

Wishing you well, Winnie <3

pearlygirly What a joy it is to become Mrs. Mack Gamble! 💍🎰🤍

win.oconnor congrats pearl!🥹

firstladyeternity Finally you enter a holy union with your child’s father! May God bless your family!

pearlygirly @.firstladyeternity Actually, Mack isn’t Dixie Jean’s biological father. Things don’t always work out but I’m glad they didn’t. God blessed me with Mack!

firstladyeternity Not the father! So you’ll have children by two different men? Oh my… I need my husband to come here and pray all over me RIGHT NOW!

[shinyhappysims]

I have a testimony everyone! Submitting to my husband’s will has blessed me greatly! I’m pleased to announce that Declan and I are finally expecting our first child this autumn! We would really appreciate your prayers as we prepare to raise a child for Christ!

Wishing you well, Winnie <3

Hello all! I wanted to let you all know that at the request of my headship, I have adjusted my modesty standards.

Growing up working on my dad’s farm, I wore a lot of tank tops and shorts. It was practical for picking up piles of hay in the sweltering Chestnut Ridge sun, but neither of those variables apply to my new life in Brindleton Bay!

From now on, all my skirts and shorts must pass the “fingertip” rule, meaning when my hands are at my sides, the fabric has to touch my fingertips. I’m also no longer going to wear tops that show shoulders or tight pants. Lastly, I won’t wear pants at all to church related events. Those are the times I would like to look the most classy and feminine.

Here are some looks that fit my new standards!

I can feel myself getting closer to Declan and God from making these changes. It’s a beautiful thing for women to submit to the most important men in her life!

Wishing you well, Winnie <3

Saturday, 3:21 PM, Choi household, Newcrest

Winnifred: I’m loving the new house, Geri!

Geraldine: Thank my in-laws!

Winnifred: We’re so fucking lucky we married rich.

Geraldine: Sounds you’re finally coming around to being Mrs. Declan O’Connor?

Winnifred: He’s… adequate.

Geraldine: Well, that’s good enough. All men can’t be Dohyun. At least adequate gets you a swimming pool in your backyard and air conditioning.

Winnifred: Amen. Speaking of which, did you hear Laverne decided to that off-the-grid shit like our parents too? 20 years of showering with funky creek water wasn’t enough for her?

Geraldine: Girl honestly, if we never talk about her again, I wouldn’t mind.

Winnifred: You’re right. She thinks we’re going to hell, we think she’s Lame Laverne, and that can be that.

Geraldine: I’m so glad we’ve got each other, Winnie. We can go to hell together.

Winnifred: Best friends. For forever, always.

(Shekinah’s POV)

My son Milton has turned 18! He’s bulked up quite a bit from working hard on the farm and has developed an insatiable appetite! He’s moving to Strangerville soon, so feeding him won’t be our problem anymore, ha! Milton has expressed interest in going to trade school. I wish him luck in his schooling and finding a career.

Also, we got a new horse for Max. Our gorgeous new mare is named Apple Fritter. It’s about time Palomino Farms had a Palomino as its mascot!

Always, Shekinah <3

[shinyhappysims]

Hi everyone! My mom, sister and cousins had a little house warming party for me! I’m so grateful to the church family and Declan’s parents. Without them our gorgeous home would not have been made possible. I won’t hold you by showing you every single room in our home but I will show you my favorite parts!

In our dining room, you will be greeted with this gorgeous painting of The Last Supper. And the empty wall next to it? We’re going to place portraits of our babies!

In our living room we have a piano. Declan bought it for me after he found out I taught myself how to play.

Also in our living room, some beautiful mementos from our wedding.

Our nursery is already finished and waiting to be filled with a blessing!

As you may know I grew up off-the-grid on a farm. The bathroom situation… wasn’t great. So I love spending time in our jacuzzi tub.

Our pool and outdoor patio area! This will be great for hosting in the future.

In the basement we have a nice little recreation area. Right now it’s Declan’s man cave but I imagine our future kids spending a lot of time down here. But attached to this room is my favorite room of all…

Our prayer closet! Complete with an altar to kneel before Him, several bibles, a plush bench to lay on if you get exhausted, and a board for us to write prayer requests! This will also be a great place to send our children so they can meditate on their behavior. Personally, I’ve spent a lot of time here. There’s a lot on my mind lately that I need to work out.

Anyways, I hope you all come visit Declan and I some day!

Wishing you well, Winnie <3

Monday, 9:20 PM, Sunrise Hotel, Sulani

Declan: Winnie, wake up.

Winnifred: Hm?

Declan: Come on. It’s time. Figured you were tired from the flight yesterday and the wedding Saturday, so I let it go.

Winnifred: Time for what?

Declan: Come on, you don’t have to stay shy now. It’s time for your wifely duties.

Winnifred: I don’t think I’m ready yet.

Declan: But God said it’s okay now.

Winnifred: I know but still.

Declan: Don’t you wanna… honor Him?

Winnifred: Maybe tomorrow.

Declan: Oh... Okie dokie. Good night then.

Winnifred: Can you let go?

Declan: Hm?

Winnifred: Get off me please. You’re like, sweaty.

Declan: Oh, sorry.

[shinyhappysims]

Hello from Sulani!

Declan and I are having a blast, enjoying being loved up and together alone for the first time. I know this will be the best part of our marriage and we have a lot of work ahead of us, but I wouldn’t choose to do life with anyone else!

Wishing you well, Winnie <3
