joanna | 22 | religious & spiritual blog

[wanderingbelief]

im joanna! or joey!

☆ this sideblog is dedicated to my spiritual and religious journey as well as my devotions to those i work with ☆

i will be following from @hidingbones ♡

--

currently, i'm loosely identifying as a christo-pagan as i work with norse deities as well as god and more christian related beliefs and so on ♡ !!

deities i work with; Freyr & Freyja

i also feel connected to Loki, but i have not done much communicating or working with him as of right now ~ maybe down the line !

and of course, God and Jesus

☆ i hope i can find a bit of community through this account as i find my place in the spiritual world ☆

♡ lastly, i am queer in both my sexuality and gender and i am following God. hate and bigotry will not be tolerated on this blog, and it is a safe space for all queer religious identifying people, whether that be queer pagans or queer christians.

catholicism is fun because you can pray to God and Jesus about anything, but you can also hit up a specific guy who's got a really specific niche and ask them to do you a solid and pray for your specific issue regarding their specific special niche.

i really love the catholic saints, it makes me wanna explore catholicism more :,)

gentle reminder: it’s okay to be simple and casual with your worship, not everyone’s practice needs to be the same and what you’re doing is more than enough ♡

there's something beautiful about all the most devout Christians i know being queer people who had been previously pushed away from religion because of discrimination. It's terrible that we had to experience that, and it hurts to think that there was a time where we rejected the word of God, but we managed to come back even after all that hardship, and He waited for us until we were ready

Transness is holy. God made grapes so that we could make the wine that becomes the blood of Jesus. He made us trans so we could sculpt ourselves in His image. This, too, is an act of creation.

pray. it doesn't have to be eloquent. you don't need a whole hour. sometimes all it takes is "help me please" under your breath as you try to navigate through your difficult day. sometimes words don't come when the pain is too heavy, but the Spirit understands. sometimes it looks like crying and all the words you can muster up to say is "You know... You know." and that is okay. He still says, "Come to Me."

come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden, I will give you rest.

come to the throne of grace, where you can receive mercy and find grace in your time of need.

cast all your cares upon Him, because He cares for you.

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

over and over in Scripture, God beckons us: come! come to the throne! don't carry this on your own, come to Me! I will give you grace. I will give you wisdom. I will strengthen you.

what mercies we have in Christ! that we can come to the King of Kings any time of the day with our request, and He listens! truly He gives us all that we need and more. we are never in lack, but there is grace upon grace upon grace.

beloved, it's time to pray.

Bible magic and divination ♡

~Sleep with a bible under your pillow to avoid nightmares

~Keep bible open to David's psalm at the front door to keep roaming haints out

~To get an answer for a question to God, close your eyes and flip through the pages. Stop your finger at a verse that you feel God is drawing you to.

~Write down psalm 23 on a piece of paper to carry with you to protect from lightening, rheumatism, bad luck, and harm.

~Take the bible to a crossroad or outside on a windy day, let God blow the wind to a verse and read it.

~For arthritis or other ailments of the bones, take some lard or oil and rub it over the aching place while reciting Proverbs 16:24 or the Lord’s Prayer.

~For pain in the body, the place is rubbed “to the left”, while saying “Tame thou flesh and bone, like Christ in Paradise” seven times.

~Keep photos of loved ones in your bible to keep them safe and out of trouble.

my love and faith in Jesus feels so lovely and connected and emotional and it feels right ♡ but my love and faith in God is much more complex and complicated -- Jesus feels like an older brother that always has my back and will protect me no matter what, and God feels like a parent who i love yet sometimes disagree with and can't fully understand no matter how much i try, there's this upsetting feeling about never being able to fully connect with God. i don't know.

yeah.

May all my queer brothers and sisters and siblings feel loved and seen by God today
