Complacent Blessings

Q: When do we arrive?

A: We don’t.

Believers, God is all that matters.

Our entire lives seem to be spent trying to get to that next step; a bigger salary, new car, more kids, new business. We plan and work toward a place where we can receive as many blessings as possible. Attending church, we hear that blessings are from God, so when our lives are full of love and family we think God is blessing us, when in reality, we have purposely positioned ourselves take, take, take. The blessings and good life are a distraction from God when we focus on what God can give us because we’re good.

Hint: we’re not good.

When God seems to stop blessing us, we think that it’s because it is something we’ve done, maybe a bad decision we made. Wrong. Lack of blessing is not the same as consequences of sin.

God is all that matters. Blessings or no, we are to worship Him and give Him glory for who He is. NOT for what He has done.

When you read the book of Job, do you shake your head? How could he still give glory to God? God took it all away! God allowed Satan to remove all earthly blessings from Job because Job knew that God is all that matters. God knew Job’s spiritual maturity. If you don’t understand how Job could have praised God through massive loss, you have not reached that level of maturity. God will stop blessing you and may start removing the blessings that have become an idol to you. He wants you to grow in spiritual maturity. Being in a place of complacent blessing is spiritual immaturity.

The wealthy man asked Jesus, “What must I do to enter Heaven?” Jesus tells the wealthy man (who had followed all the commandments) to give it all away in order to go to Heaven. Why? Because he had reached the place of complacent blessing. Jesus wanted this man’s heart, which had become slave to the idol of blessing. The man knew it but was not willing to part from his idol. So he went away, very sad.

God is continually preparing us for what is to come. I don’t mean here on earth. I mean He is preparing us for eternity by getting our hearts focused on Him. He wants you in Heaven for eternity. He wants your heart, mind, and soul while you are on earth. That only happens when we see that God is all that matters.

I actually grabbed a deck to help me pick which Qs to ask so...Justice, The World, The Hanged Man

I love that commitment 👍

justice: favorite color of rose?

Hmmm, you’d think that as a florist, that’d be an easy question for me to answer. However I can only tell you my current favourite, and one I often take in from our suppliers; Cappuccino.

the world: do you like waking up early?

Nah, I’m a real snoozer. However whenever I wake up really early it’s because I’m going on a trip, so I can’t say I entirely hate it.

the hanged man: favorite movie soundtrack?

This is a rare thing for me, for once I can name a favourite creator/composer! I’m a huge fan of Hans Zimmer for his work on Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, Spirit, Kung Fu Panda (all movies), and many more. I also love the OST to Pacific Rim, the Hunchback of Notre Dame (Swedish), Moulin Rouge and Kingsman 2!

~I sometimes would really like to stop talking or wish it would be possible that I wouldn’t have to talk. I like to silent, but I also need to speek and work on my communication skills

Somnophilia, vouyerism, latex.

Only kinksame if the one sleeping wakes up, kinkshame, kinkshame.

Send me a kink, and I’ll reply with kinkshame or kinksame ;D

Asha - 3, 13, 23, 24?

03. What would be their favorite physical trait about themselves?

I can see Asha being really proud of her eyes/eyelashes and long legs.

13. What are your character’s sleeping habits? Heavy or light sleeper? Blanket stealer? One that always rolls onto the floor? Pushes their lover onto the floor? Sleep talker or walker?

Hmmm... She steals blankets and always tries to snuggle closer to whoever she’s sleeping next to. So there’s a risk of her pushing them onto the floor, because she’s also a heavy sleeper who doesn’t notice a loud thud. She just seeks out warmth, and does her best to keep a good sleeping schedule.

23. What is your character like when it comes to school? What subjects are they good/bad at? Do they get in trouble a lot or are well behaved?

Asha had to deal with some bullying in school, due to being trans, but eventually Rowan and Buster (and probably Conall) helped put an end to that. She had to change class to a teacher who listened in second grade.

After that Asha made a lot friends, since she’s a very sweet girl, who’s good at math and cooking. She learned that from Joy, heh. She was always sad that she couldn’t do well in art and creative writing, though, and didn’t like gym class.

24. In their own words, how would your character describe what their lover is like?

“Fury is fierce and cool, I love her punk-y style, and I’m very happy that she’s been able to deal with her anger more and more. She deserves to be happy, and when she smiles I get butterflies in my stomach. Seriously, the way her eyes crinkle and teeth flash, aaah... She’s so cute, too! I love her, even if she’s a scaredy-cat when it comes to horror movies.”

Send me some asks about my OCs?
