I want to share with you a little prayer (or some variation thereof) I've said for a while now in the morning as I get out of my car at work:

I make a cross over my forhead and say, "Holy Spirit, pour down into my mind a river of grace that I may be pure in thought and think nothing evil or impure."

I make a cross over my lips and say, "Lord pour down a river of grace over my lips that I may be a man of clean lips; let me say nothing evil or discouraging to the Faith. May everything I say be inspired by You and lead others to You."

I make a cross over my heart and say, "Holy Spirit, pour down a river of grace into my heart to make me pure of heart. Water me and make me fertile that I may bear an abundance of good fruit in all that I do."

Normally I keep a flask of holy water in my car and use it as I say this prayer.

What does biblical femininity really mean?

The term “biblical femininity” gets thrown around in online traditionalism communities a lot. However, what it actually means may not be what you expect.

So, here’s what someone who’s been in Catholic school since they were 5 thinks about femininity as it’s portrayed in the bible.

・❥・When you hear the term “femininity” you likely think of someone obsessed with the colour pink, fairytales and animals. While yes, these things very well may be true to many feminine women: They are not determining factors at all.

Femininity is not about how you look, dress or even what activities you participate in. In fact that couldn’t be further from the truth.

According to the bible, true femininity is entirely rooted in your behaviour. Instead of focusing on physical attributes or hobbies, biblical femininity focuses on how you treat others, your capacity to love, and your ability to live as according to the teachings of the bible.

This includes things such as being nurturing, which while many have attached negative connotations to: Isn’t negative at all.

By no means does biblical femininity call you to always be nurturing in every situation. In fact it never even says you have to have kids, which is often something associated with this term. Yes, God told Adam and Eve to have children, but there is nothing in the bible that says it is immoral not to. Being nurturing is simply the capacity to feel empathy, or to express cognitive empathy if you’re unable to feel emotional empathy.

Being nurturing doesn’t have anything to do with children. Being nurturing means to put others first whenever you reasonably can.

Biblical femininity is about becoming the woman God created you to be. It’s about being yourself unapologetically, and following Christ without a doubt.

・❥・ Before I finish this post I’d also like to add one last note/disclaimer: This post is 100% based on my own interpretations of the bible after 12 and a half years of attending a Catholic school, as well as growing up with Catholic parents. You are free to interpret the bible however you please, this is just one random teenager on the internets opinion <3

Made my last post talking about how I was gonna get back on the horse and start loving God properly and being more productive and then immediately got sick. I've been dealing with such fatigue these past couple of days; I've done NOTHING.

Happily enough, this morning I woke up feeling much better. I'm not completely cured but I actually had some energy today and used it to clean as much as I could.

I emptied all the bins in the apartment, emptied the dishwasher of clean dishes, refilled it with dirty ones, washed and dried the dishes that couldn't be put in the dishwasher, brought my clothes back in from off the clothesline, folded them and put them away, stuck another load of clothes in the washing machine, cleaned some of the bathroom (sink, mirrors, toilet), and rearranged one of the bathroom cupboards.

Now my fiance's sick and is copping it worse that I did so I've also been looking after him as best as I can.

When You Are Lacking

Scripture: Philippians 4:12

Not being able to give to your church when you are lacking in money. When you have to watch your bank account every time you go to the market. When you are struggling to find that job God has for you or even when you want to be an extra on your favorite, life changing TV show that led you to Jesus and you can't afford it. These are all things that I myself and I'm sure other people on here are struggling with as well.

Or what about food? When you have to not buy so much at the store because you are so terrified that you will not be able to get what you need. We all have financial struggles in our lives. A season in which we don't have much. But God tells us not to worry about our lives! (Matthew 6:25) Or worry about worldly things as well! Or His plan for us!

I think about the words of Paul:

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ~Philippians 4:12 (NIV)

My mom would argue these words. I know she would argue with much that I am about to say right now. But it needs to be said. Friends, we need to learn how to be content. To not worry about the next day. For tomorrow will have worries of it's own (Matthew 6:34). To know that the God of the universe will take care of us and provide for us!

Now that doesn't mean sitting around and doing nothing. Take me for example. I am trying to find a ministry or church job and I haven't found one yet. But while I am waiting on that, I am trying to make a career out of these Instagram and Tumblr pages.

Out of preaching God's Word and spreading the Word to people that may not know Him. You have to take steps of action where you can and go where you feel like God is leading you to. God's not going to do all the work when you put in none. That is a hard truth. You have to work as a team!

Granted. These may not be the best situations in the world, but the one thing I have learned is the one thing I know now that I didn't know last May when I was saved. I am not alone! I have Jesus! And we have to have faith in Him! He is the one who provides for us when we are fighting each and every day of our lives because of any issue that we face. Not just this.

He has a plan for us and he has us in our situations for a reason. We have to trust that He knows what is best for us. We have to trust that He will work all things out for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

Now I don't know about you, but I think those are pretty comforting words. If we love Him and are faithful to Him, He will come through for us. He will work it all out in His timing! So if you are in a season of not having much financially? Trust Jesus. And trust that he will make everything work out for your good!

Let me know what you all want to see on here! What topics or edits you want to see. I do not have a camera yet (or any equipment for that matter), but just let me know and I will see what I can do! God Bless you all and have a wonderful day. You are amazing and God loves you!

In the year 2022 I began shaping up. Started my own company still have it running. General landscaping and handyman services. I also have a full time job so as of last year and this year I have finally achieved what I feel is success. Maybe I have a few more steps to go but in my mind I am successful. I take care of my mom's. I also take care of my child. I'm a very good dad. I want my daughter and her mother to have a very strong relationship. The only way for a child to truly be happy 😊 is if mom and dad are there. As long as the child knows their parents love them. To be honest one thing I wished I had was my dad. But he did some things that weren't "appropriate". My mom had her own issues sadly. She's a good mom that's why I am such a good person and have a good heart because of my mom. But that does not mean my mom didn't have issues. Growing up I didn't know how hard it is as being an adult because my mom as a single mother never showed hardship. When I finally got to meet my dad after almost 22 years he didn't really prepare me for having a child and he didn't tell me all the hardships that come with life. My parents may not have prepared me for life but they both (in their own way) are the reason I'm such a good dad and person. I feel blessed to know that I am gonna make myself something in this world. My choice is success.

"It's just a leap of faith miles that's all it is." - Spiderman into the spider verse.

This is your reminder that those seemingly perfect Christian influencers aren’t perfect. It’s the exact same as any other form of influencers. They make themself appear perfect, but in reality that’s usually pretty far from the truth. We all know Instagram models will edit their photos and that some of them have gotten all sorts of plastic surgery to look how they do…

But it’s not only those people who make themselves seem better than they are. Tons of Christian influencers push this idea of the perfect sinless Christian who’s never done anything against God in their life. I guarantee you they have, because it’s impossible to live in the modern world without doing so in one way or another.

You are not worth any less for having gone against certain things in the bible. You are not worth any less for not being perfect. You still love God, and still want a relationship with God. You don’t have to be perfect for God to love you. The only condition to getting into heaven is that you need to love God and trust God and be capable of recognizing your mistakes to ask for forgiveness.
