    Not condemning yourself

    Saw this verse on the Bible app and decided to make this little verse image for myself. I often need to remind myself this. I’m someone that condemns and criticizes themselves pretty much continually. Or at least had those thoughts pop up a bunch. And obviously that’s not what HE says, and...

    Just a thought about Philippians

    Just got into some Bible reading with mama and I found something interesting. We all know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but it had us look at the verses before that. Philippians 4:10-13 “But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has...

    Getting the chat part working on the app

    So I managed to get the forum app to work for my Amazon kindle, but I don't seem to see the way to get the actual chat room part to work. Is it another app?

    Totally confused.

    Really confused about something. I had something I thought God wanted that included another person. He seemed to confirm it, I was like “Ok Lord if it’s your will then let’s go” and then suddenly the person in question has seemingly shut down the idea. Does this mean I was wrong? Was it that...

    Ruin childhood movies with facts

    So I’m the person that likes to inject some logic into movies, often bursting the bubble 🤣 So I’ll start: Hunchback if Notre Dam is basically not it at all: Quasimodo dies, Frollo dies, Esmeralda dies, And Phoebus is a total jerk.

    What the enemy meant for evil

    Was listening to a song talking about what God planned for evil could be used for good. And this could be anything, including things that scar is. Because God uses it for us be able to reach those who are hurting. We can’t survive those always on our own, but God can.

    Unashamed

    Something intriguing I was thinking about - that God helped me come to if singing a worship song - is talking about how we’re supposed to be unashamed of the gospel of Christ. But it seems sometimes we let our shame in our own issues and battles keep us from reaching out to Him fully. We kinda...

    Acquired taste foods

    So we all have foods that take a while to really enjoy. What are some of yours? Mine are sushi, boba, and oddly enough gravy.

    Wisdom in making a book

    So when my dad was dealing with cancer, God gave him the idea to have me do journals and a comic for my mental and emotional health - to deal with what was happening. He said someday to publish it, and that would be a way to witness to people. Though thinking back I’m not sure if he wanted it...

    Is celibacy in God’s plan?

    Don’t panic about the title, I don’t mean you personally 🤣 I guess the thing is - with us as singles - it’s an understandable fear I’ve heard of “dying alone.” But what if God had that in mind for you? Would you be willing to accept that? Do you even think that’s a possibility? And with us...

    Prayer for mommy

    Sooooooooooooo I guess one of the nurse staff peoples at the place I work had tested positively for COVID. They locked down the people who the CNA had any contact with so that’s good, but I was terrified for a moment and had to kinda take a moment. Mom has breathing issues sometimes. Mom is...

    I want a best friend

    I’m tired of dating sites. I’m tired of dates where someone wants something from you. I’m tired of saying to them “I want to get to know you” and they ask “well what do you want to know” like I’m gonna be able to ask all the questions I could ever want to ask right then and there. I want a...

    Prayer that I can have understanding

    My mother is a perfectionist, and the heartbreaking thing is that i know it’s because she’s so hard on herself. This probably came from growing up with her mother, and her parents, and so on. She wants things done “right” but if it’s not done by her then it really never is. If she makes a...

    Why do you think God has you single?

    Maybe this is meant to be a little cathartic, but what do you think is the reason God has you single in this season? Be honest with yourself. I often think people blame themselves for something awful they did and think God is punishing them with this single and sometimes lonely life, instead...

    What are you working on?

    I’m on an “artists for Christ” Facebook group, and one of the admins put a thread where you post what you’re working on! Why not we try this here too? Can be written, art, code, anime memes, whatever. Just please keep it PG, no mean spirited comments in it or about other people. Just have fun

    How early did they know about the Holy Spirit

    I was reading Mark, and noticed John the Baptist talking about being baptized in the Holy Spirit. Then it dawned on me: how long did they know about Him? I know He didn’t come perhaps in the way we think now, but how early did the people’s know that He was part of the trinity? Hm...

    How was the tomb sealed?

    So I was just thinking about Matthew 27, how they said the tomb was sealed up when Jesus was put in it. Now I seem to remember that back then when they wanted to make a thing like that secure, they sealed it with some kind of putty on the outside rim of the stone. I can’t remember if it was...

    How do we learn to be grateful? To be thankful?

    I am a person who sadly tends to take things for granted. I don’t notice things or appreciate them sometimes until I have to do tasks myself and see how hard it is. How do I fix that? How do I learn to be truly grateful for things I’m given? Whether they be someone’s hard work, a compliment...

    How do you deal with pronouns

    So I know that God has given us one gender, man or woman. But what do we do when their “preferred pronoun” is one of the LGBT pronunciations? Yes it’s respectful to the person, but what would God say? Hm...
