Tip: practice the art of unstructured time! Our bodies and brains benefit from a combination of effort followed by relaxation, then more effort, relaxation and so on. Build in periods of doing nothing in particular. Just be! Sit, be still, focus on the nature, feel your body, breath in, breath out, relax, feel and follow the impulse of your body. Is it thirsty? Stiff? Tense? Then drink and stretch, smell the roses, give yourself a compliment, think about what you are grateful for, give yourself a hug or ask for one and then go on with your chores after making an appointment with yourself for the next “nothing” moment!

True Vine

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.”

John’s gospel is often the place I turn for gospel wisdom. That might sound odd as it is often othered as the fourth gospel, written much later than the others and containing a very different narrative and literary form - but nevertheless, sometimes you need something poetic and down-to-earth, rather then detail or a consistent narrative. In those cases, John’s gospel is the place to be.

A couple of weeks okay I visited a church about 40 minutes away from me with my university to see the catholic end of the spectrum of Anglicanism. We’d already see our biggest local evangelical church, so it was time to see ‘how the other half live’ so to speak. While I can’t claim going to benediction quite scratched my itch for a style of worship, I think there is something powerful to be gained by most church traditions and this one was no different. in the quiet simplicity of the church, I heard the gospel read - “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener...”.

At that point, I had a thought. This scripture has a lot of interpretations but as usual I enjoy throwing my hat in the ring. At the moment I’m going through some really big life changes, this time around it has a lot to do with relationships, some pretty significant ones are changes and I have been grieving the loss of some of these relationships that I genuinely thought were the family I never had finally found. it hurts a lot to know that I was wrong. Like is really really fucking hurts, crying on the kitchen floor hurts. But sat in this old church, eyes closed hands out faced to heavens I felt a lot more peaceful about this pain than I had done in a while.

I thought about Jesus as a vine, his beloved Father tending to Him, guiding Him in His growth. It a lovely image, but I also have to wonder if all this pruning hurts. actually, I don’t wonder, I know, it must be agony sometimes, like having a limb cut off - this is going to hurt. which is where this all comes together, if I too am a branch attached to the vine, then I too have shoots and other branches growing out of me, and as a child of God I also have access to a dedicated gardener. He is going to nurture some shoots, and chop off others, and when he does that, it is going to sting, it really is. These moments recently where I have felt so desperately alone, misunderstood and abandoned I had to ask myself, maybe this is the start of a transformation. It doesn’t feel like it all of course, it just feels crap and it will do for a while and if any of you are going through similar things - you are allowed and even encouraged to feel everything you need to feel, but while your feeling, think about this.

When God cuts those branches, it is going to hurt, you’re going to be on the floor questioning everything and be at a loss as to how this could happen to you, you are going to miss those people and things, you are going to want to run back, try to glue those branched back on. But beloved, God has already made you clean, what he has done cannot be undone. when he cuts those branches He knows its going to hurt, and He’ll be there with you as you take painkillers and try to sleep it off, and He’ll be there with a small smile on His face, because while he helps you through the pain, He knows what’s gonna grow in place of those shoots that where bringing you down.

when a person leaves, He ahs a better one in store. when an opportunity falls through, He’s about to drop something better in your path. When it feels like everything is falling apart, He’s picking up all the pieces and gluing them back together even better! I am not going to claim it’s easy, or that it all happens fast, you might spend years hurting, that’s how it is sometimes, but I can tell you that one day it will get better - there is so so much hope.

Jesus is the vine; the Father is the gardener. Keep being fed by the One who set you free, and keep letting your heavenly Father in to tend to your raw roots, He’s building up to something big, I know it.

Keep listening for the little stuff that reminds you of the Good News, wherever that may be. Keep listening for the whispers, keep praying, keep going - all that pruning is going to pay off, I promise. Because you deserve all the happy you can get.

A friendly reminder that shit could be worse. But it's not. So, hands up, I guess.

It's easy peasy.

People get we can see art different from one another. Few truly grasp how differently one can perceive life and its situations based on their past experiences and expectations

So as I was scrolling through positive quotes this morning to find something uplifting I found this little gem. I wanted to share it with you because for me, this feels like a client's path on the way to seeking therapy. I believe I was also on this path the very first time I went to see a Counsellor. So here it is; "When you’re lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost. For the longest time, you can convince yourself that you’ve just wandered off the path, that you’ll find your way back to the trailhead any moment now. Then night falls again and again, and you still have no idea where you are, and it’s time to admit that you have bewildered yourself so far off the path that you don’t even know from which direction the sun rises anymore.” ELIZABETH GILBERT It touched me and I connected with this quote. Does it touch you? Resonate in some small way? It may feel like your depression as it did for Elizabeth or it may be that you sense simply that you have strayed from your path?

Hello lovelies! . @theawkwardyeti has Heart stating, "it's okay to not have all the answer. Super okay." That's a great sentiment for everyone. But it's also #nationalcomingoutday and I think it fits wonderfully for that, as well. . As someone in several queer minorities, just finding out I wasn't alone or broken from a google search changed my world. But that didn't mean I was out. And, especially as an ace individual, a lot of people don't think we deserve Pride or have coming out stories. "It's not like y'all need the right to not f@!! People." That's true. But we have the right to not have rape threats. Or our health questioned. Or be badgered with questions about loneliness or children. We have the rights to fight for too. Just, maybe not as legally. I imagine aro-aces have it worse. . So, coming out is scary. If you are, stay strong, stay proud, and if you need family, you have one now. No one deserves to be in the wind because they're true to themselves. If you're questioning who you are, that's okay. Labels aren't everything, but they help build a foundation. And if you're not ready to be out yet, that's cool. You know who you are. And when you're ready, the world will, too. And your true family will always be supporting you, whoever they may be. . Stay strong, lovelies. Good night! . . . . . . #maine #comingout #ace #asexual #marginalizedidentities #queer #foundfamily #truefamily #selflove #itsokaytobeyou #itsokay #itsgonnabeokay #whenyoureready #genderqueer #panromantic #poly #polyamory (at Bangor, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGN8BnpB1R7/?igshid=dmhk9lmf12g6

In a land far far away. Children and adults were screaming how 2020 was gonna be their bitch, their year of greatness and comeback! I remember it all so well. Just like yesterday! And today in 2020 none of them screaming naysayers got poop 💩 to say! I’m guessing 2019 wasn’t that bad after all... #becarefulwhatyouwishfor #becarefulwhatyouaskfor #2020vision NOT THE VISION #2020goals NO GOALS #2020howlowcanwego #covid19 #2020isitoveryet #vote #blm #dontgiveup #keepyaheadup #challengeyourself #thinkoutthebox #itsgonnabeokay (at Albuquerque, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHYLHrl4pr/?igshid=1r8ot4zdi2x5s

I loved Benedict - he got me from Oregon to North Dakota to Colorado. He weathered much more than he wanted to, that's for sure. It was time for a change and an upgrade.

Honest Christian Moments

Today I am sad. There's no particular trigger or reason, I'm just sad. I can list the things I'm greatful for - food, work, friends, family, the sun, God - however that doesn't mean I'm not sad. And that's okay.

We don't have to put on a mask with God and pretend life is all hunky-dory when it's not, people hurt us, life gets exhausting, things going wrong feels bad, but hey, God gets it.

There's a song my We Are Messengers that my youth worker introduced me to a few years ago

"it's alright, if I'm not alright, cos the One who holds the stars is holding my whole life"

Cry if you need to, how else will know sunshine again? Scream if it makes you feel better, when you've healed, you'll see how good peace feels. Go to therapy and love Jesus too - they're not mutually exclusive.

I'm done with feeling like a bad believer for suffering, it's almost as if I've been reading a different Bible, because to me, it's full of people who hurt and toiled and cried and screamed and yet still, in the end God came through, because that's what He does.

So today I am sad - and that's okay, because the Lord is holding me tightly ❤️
