#i've got this

[momentsbeforemass]

Don’t make me admit it’s not working

“Daughter, your faith has saved you.”

It’s the beautiful closing line from today’s Gospel. The one with the woman whose hemorrhages were healed by Jesus.

It’s the part of that Gospel that we remember. Which is odd. Because what comes before it is a lot more familiar to us.

I’m talking about her back story. The last twelve years of her life. Twelve years of suffering. Twelve years that cost her everything she had. Twelve years trying every way she could to deal with it.

Every way, except doing it with God.

The “I’ve got this” part. The “no, I’m doing this my way” part. The “don’t make me admit it’s not working” part.

That’s the part we’re familiar with.

Because you and I do this. All. The. Time. So much that (just like the woman in the Gospel) it becomes our normal.

And while it may not take us twelve years to get there, just like her we usually don’t realize what we’re doing to ourselves (let alone do anything about it) until we hit bottom.

Until then, we just keep doing it our way. Wasting time and money. Lost in doing it ourselves. Setting ourselves up to suffer more than we have to.

All for the sake of our pride. All so we can say we don’t need anyone’s help. Even if it’s not true.

Because the truth is that you and I aren’t self-sufficient. We can’t do it all on our own.

And that’s okay. Because the One who made you and me loves us so much that He’s willing to help us every step of the way.

Truth be told, there’s nothing He would love more. Than to spend that time with you, being with you in all of your moments. Including the worst ones.

Today, may God give us the grace to get over ourselves. To start living our lives with the One who will always love us. In every moment.

Most of my posts so far today (since I got home from school, at least) have had next to no notes. I think people have seen them, but you can never be too sure. So I will just ask: my posts have been seen, right? Maybe it's not good that I make posts like these all the time, but it just comes naturally to me, for better or for worse.

I had a great evening yesterday with my friends, we talked, we gossiped and learnt truths about eachother using an empty bottle of soda as a mic.

Today I've got a final

And then I can read and like all the posts of my relatives on Tumblr.

I got this !

#aaaaaaah #it's good to feel good #i've got this #you do too

my employee review has happened. not only did i not get fired, but i also got a pay raise!

i was worried that my work was slacking but overall they were happy with my work. they said that i am a reliable work horse, that no matter what i have going on in my life they know that i will do my job to the best of my abilities and take feedback gracefully

so yeah

Hopeful for the new month

Hello again Tumblr, I found my way back yet again.

After another lost handful of time due to the awesome ongoing battles of the minds, I am hoping to spark some joy back into the things I used to do in life.

My goal for the next two months is to read at least 4 books.

When I was younger I used to be able to read a book, no matter the size at most in a 3 day span, and that was around school and the various activities that I was pushed into.

Now....I want to try again.

The Four Books that I will be trying will be:

*Insert drumroll*

LegendBorn

2. A River of Royal Blood

3. Crown of Feathers

4. Bitten

Bitten is actually a re-read. I originally read the Women of the Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong when they were first coming to America.

Looking back now I can see how they were not really appropriate for someone that young ^^; but honestly that series was a life line for me for many years, and I have recently become blessed to finally collect the fully series again! As well as the original two anthologies!

Now, to take a deep breath, and pick a book.............

I think I am going to plug these into a random spinning wheel to help me figure that leap out.

Well everyone, send me luck and happy June 1st.

Poor Dira, you have no idea what you’re getting into, do you? (Honestly I don’t either, but the chaos is fun to watch)

At the very least I am aware that I am unaware of what I'm getting myself in to. I know that it is beyond my current understanding and comprehension, I know it's gonna be a lot and an ovewhelming lot at that.

But also I think I have fairly extensive experience throwing myself head first into complex media I know nothing about. Warrior Cats may be new territory, but it mirrors places I've tread and I know I will emerge victorious from this conquest like all the others.

#warrior cats #quil's queries #the-one-and-only-aroace #like. i'm making jokes about it and playing it up #but genuinely? not concerned #i've got this #it only feels overwhelming because i'm at the precipice where all i can see is the long fall ahead of me #but once i'm in it? piece of cake #been reading my whole life what's 50 cat books?

This past month I've been struggling a lot. With a big life change, a lot of triggering things that has led to panic attacks and my old-time favorite, obsessive thoughts about loss and death, and I almost stopped my good place rewatch because the constant talk of death is really not helpful in that last problem, but man, Pandemonium's ending with Elenore and Janet gets me every time

"Find happiness in the unique insanity of being here, now."

a much better reminder of being present than beating myself over the head to be mindful because one day this will all be gone and I will be dead.

Embrace the pandemonium

#original post #the good place #reminders #im working on it every day #and things are going in the right direction #im honestly proud of how well ive adjusted to this life change #a similar situation 2 years ago had me on and off with panic attacks for like 4 month #and its only been A month i could have more #but like this feels different #i feel more in control #and my systems for caring for myself are stronger #im stronger #i've got this #also #this is cheesy #but ive always said the way i felt when my partner and I connected was 'finally. I found you' #so talk of people being in love #and finding each other through it all #it gets to me #hes been wonderful #hes always wonderful #but man am i grateful to have a partner who can hold me though this #and support me #i love him
