Milk & Honey

Aspiring author/editor for Christian novels and devotionals!

[writehandofgod]

Welcome!

This is one out of a few accounts that I have here on Tumblr, so if you'd like to check out my fictional/fanfiction writing, here are my usernames below:

@bluemoonbeam15 (A Bug's Life)

@0perfectimperfections0 (UglyDolls)

Because of course Tumblr is usually for fanfictional writings and services, so I don't solely concentrate on just this blog and my personal works.

My Values:

If you like to know about an author (especially regarding religious writing and spreading of gospel) before looking into their work, here are some of the core beliefs and values that I have that are expressed through my writing and interpretation of the Scriptures.

King James Version only (I look at other translations for comparison purposes, but only follow interpretation, cite, and read KJV)

Once saved, always saved

I do not support the LGBTQ+ community, but I don't openly discriminate. I can't tell someone what to do, but it is also the job of a born-again believer to not allow others to live in sin without at least offering a better way of life

Salvation through acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour (simple. Easy. And only requires the conviction of the Holy Spirit and your obedience to bring it to the Cross)

Pro-life advocate

I may very well add things to this list later down the road, but as far as core, controversial doctrines, those are what I firmly believe. If you ever have questions, feel free to DM me or send in an ask. I'm not opposed to openly discussing/debating my beliefs, so long as both parties are respectful.

This pinned post will also be updated every time I post. I've made all my blogs that way, so that it's easier to navigate and you all don't have to scroll through a million posts just to find something you like (or don't like, I don't know).

For any of you other aspiring authors, I am starting my own remote editing business. I have a bachelor's in English with a concentration in creative writing, as well as a minor in religious studies. I also work with graphic design tools, like Canva, and I am familiar with APA, MLA, and Chicago formats. So, my doors are open for any of you interested in self-publishing and looking for an editor and/or cover creator. Pricing varies based on a rate of $1 USD per page (250 words per page). My primary focus is getting more faith-based works out there in the world, not making profit.

Feel free to DM me for any reason! Even if you want to just pop in and tell me that I'm wrong and narrow-minded, go for it! The road to Heaven is straight and narrow, anyhow.

Study Through Series Devotionals

Genesis:

Chapter 2 - Man Created From Dust

I‘m beginning to realize that the majority of the Christian walk (for me, at least) is acting confident that I knew God would perform a miracle in a situation whenever those around me are surprised, whilst simulatenously thinking, That‘s crazy, how did He do that?

This is more a loose example, but I was playing Monopoly one time with my niece and cousin. I‘ll call them Hannah and Jordan for the sake of coherency. But basically Jordan had ran out of money and was going to essentially lose the game, leaving just me and Hannah. So, I gave her half of my own money so she could keep playing. Hannah questioned if that was allowed, but the rules never explicitly stated that I couldn‘t. She said something along the lines of „Oh, but now you‘re worse off than I am. What if you end up going bankrupt now?“

Jokingly, obviously, I said: „The Lord provides.“

Fastforward to my turn and I landed on the Free Parking or whatever it‘s called - and by our rules, not sure if it‘s a universal rule, that means we get whatever money has accumulated in the middle of the board from taxes and cards. And, wouldn‘t you know it, the amount of money in the centre of the board was the exact amount I had given Jordan, maybe a bit more.

And it happened. Every. Single. Time.

We made a joke out of it, but then it turned into a whole sermon. Jordan and I kept giving each other money whilst Hannah played the game normally, and every single time we would give money to each other, one of us would land on the Free Parking and get exactly that amount back - if not double.

Hannah thought we were cheating and had said: „There‘s no way that‘s actually working.“

(All three of us are Christians, by the way, this was all in good fun)

And playing it off, Jordan and I were confidently going: „We told you God would provide. The Lord giveth and He taketh away.“

But the whole time, I‘m internally freaking out, wondering - Oh my word, how is this actually working?

Anyway, thanks for listening to my TedTalk. God bless!

I read too much into things, but felt like this would be the best place to share my rabbit-hole thoughts since the rest of Tumblr makes me sick right now.

Turning Point USA started in June of 2012. Charlie Kirk was the founder (obviously) and was the face of the ministry until this year.

13 years is how long Charlie Kirk was in this ministry/movement.

The 13th year (this year) is when he was assassinated. Out of curiosity (and because I love numbers and Biblical numerology) I looked up the patterns of the number 13 in the Bible.

Turns out, 13 symbolizes "sin, evil, and lawlessness."

Kinda crazy, when you think about it (at least to me) how the thirteenth year of Charlie Kirk's mission was ended due to sin, evil, and lawlessness. And the patterns we see in the Bible relating to the number 13 still somehow continue in modern times.

Just thought that was interesting. Thank you for reading my TedTalk. God bless ❤️

Genesis - Chapter 2 Devotional

I'm not putting these out in any particular order, but I will organize them chronologically on my pinned post just so it won't get confusing. I am working on what I call "Study Through Series" where I go through each chapter of a particular book of the Bible and do in-depth studies through them. I was in Jeremiah, got up to chapter 5, I believe, and then moved to Genesis because my attention span is still horrible. Reading the Bible front to back, chronologically, is difficult for me, so that's another reason why these won't be posted in chronological order (or completely finish out a whole book of the Bible).

These are essentially the pre-edited versions of my devotionals that will eventually go into the published work once I do, actually, finish out the entirety of Genesis or Jeremiah or whichever one gets done first. My devotional for this morning is in Proverbs because I hit chapter 5 of Genesis with all the "begots" and my attention span detested it.

The formatting for these is different, since I write in Obsidian, so I'll be posting screenshots rather than writing it out here on the post. But enjoy! And I hope you get as much out of this as I did. Chapter 2 of Genesis was my favourite, so far, to study through.

I apologize in advance that the screenshot quality might be a little grainy. It seems to be that way on my laptop, anyhow. It should be decent enough quality to read, though.
