Glowing up: A journey towards self-improvement
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The reason I want to glow up is because I am determined to make positive changes in my life. I want to improve my health, enhance my appearance, and become a better version of myself. For as long as I can remember, I've been lazy, mediocre, self-destructive and unkind. But I refuse to be like that any longer. With hard work and dedication, I know I can transform myself into someone I'm proud of. I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready to take on the challenge and become the best possible version of myself.
Part 1:Physical wellness
Inspiration:Pink Pilates Princess and Green Juice Girl
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The physical aspect of glowing up goes beyond aesthetics. Although, I won't deny that the main reason is doing it. It's about feeling strong, energized, and confident in your skin. I struggle with chronic migraines, fatigue and Self-destructive behaviours. My self-destructive behaviours are things I unconsciously do to make myself unattractive like binge eating because I want to be skinny but my brain doesn't want me to be skinny because it knows it will make me happy and unconsciously I don't want to be happy. I also cut my hair short because I love long hair and I cut my hair every time it gets long because I secretly hate myself and don't want to be happy. (This probably belongs in the mental wellness part.)My plan to improve my physical health is to lose weight gained from years of binging and become fit.
Goals
Lose almost 30lbs by
Eating porpotioned healthily balanced meals(<1450kcals)
Taking my vitamins
Exercising at least 3hrs a week
Getting 10k steps a day
Sleep at 11pm at latest and wake up at 5/6 am
Develop a skincare routine
Grow my hair back to waist length
Part 2:Mental, Emotional and social wellness
Inspiration:That girl and Clean girl
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mental health is the cornerstone of glowing up. It involves cultivating a positive mindset, managing stress, and fostering resilience. Emotional health involves understanding and managing our emotions in a healthy way. It's about cultivating self-awareness, practicing self-compassion, and developing coping strategies for life's challenges. Social health involves building and maintaining meaningful relationships, setting boundaries, and fostering a sense of belonging. I have struggled with my mental health for a long time. I am diagnosed with depression and I have dealt with binge eating on and off for years. I have low self-esteem and self-worth. I never liked myself since I was young. (I think I know the reason but I don't want to share.)The hatred I felt for myself got externalised into hatred, envy, jealousy and unkindness towards others. I am going to change that by:
Getting a therapist
Self care
Being positive
Thinking before I speak
Practicing gratitude
Clean my room once a day
Meet with friends outside of school at least once a month
Part 3: Spiritual wellness
Inspiration: That Christian girl
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nurturing spiritual health provides a sense of purpose, connection, and inner peace. I was born catholic and went to catholic school from the age of 5 to 11(ages 7-11 were an only-girl school). I became an atheist at 11 and have been struggling with my relationship with God ever since. I was born and raised catholic but I was never properly Cathechized. That is because my parents(My mom is a cradle catholic and my dad was born catholic but became Pentecostal) are lukewarm and don't teach me and my siblings about God, the Bible and the Catholic Church. My parents have had multiple children and have not married. (I don't want them to get married to be honest because they are not right for each other and they aren't the best example of a healthy relationship.) My mom only started regularly attending church because I asked her that we start going. My parents aren't the best example of good Christians. Also, in catholic school days teach you nothing about the catholic church they just read the bible to you every morning, make you pray 3-4 times a day and bring you to church once a week. Catholic school wasn't that bad because catechizing me wasn't their job it was my parents. My goals to become strengthen my relationship with God are:
Attend mass on all Sundays and days of obligation
Pray at least twice a day and before eating
Read the Bible daily
Learn about the catholic church and catechize myself
Got to confession eventually
Do my confirmation
Become a Proverbs 31 woman
Part 4: Intellectual wellness
Inspiration:Academic weapon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Continuous learning and intellectual stimulation are essential components of glowing up. An Academic Weapon is a student who is perceived as particularly successful in academics as a whole. My grades are mediocre but i can easily fix that if i stop being lazy and study more. I am going to:
Study atleat 3hrs a day un top of homework
Have an 8-hour study session once a week.
Read one book a month
Join more clubs
Take every opportunity to learn
Conclusion
Glowing up is not a destination but a lifelong journey of self-discovery and personal growth. By nurturing physical, mental, spiritual, social, emotional, and intellectual health, we can become the best versions of ourselves. Whether you're striving to be that Christian girl, a pink Pilates princess, a green juice girl, clean girl or an academic weapon, remember that the most beautiful glow comes from within.

Colds
Pairing: Jeff Hardy x Fem reader
Description: You and Jeff get sick leading to a long day in bed
Tumblr media
A groan sounds as you turn feeling cold and hot all at once as you groan seeing Jeff sitting up holding his head. "You okay baby?" he turns hearing the strain in your voice knowing you were sick and he knew even more when he saw the expression on your face as he grabbed a tissue and blew his nose "God I thought i was sick" he starts a cool lukewarm shower for you while he changed the bedsheets and made soup each of you slowly eating before taking over the counter meds while watching tv calling in and taking the day off from training and matches later that night, you feel aches in your body as you try to sleep "Baby come here" he move over on jeff's lap shivering slightly not only from the cool air hitting your skin but also from him beginning to rub your aching body feeling sleep begin to wash over you as he kisses your temple. You both fall asleep for two hours before waking up and finishing off the rest of the soup with crackers taking more meds twenty minutes later feeling a bit more refreshed but still tired as the cool air blows from the ceiling fan helping with the unbearable heat on your skin that didn't let up one bit with either of you spending every hour exposed to the air or tucked under the covers and even molded together, you drink cold water and juice the next morning which helps your burning throat and gives you a bit more energy for the rest of the day as you and jeff train making up for the day before as you work out with Matt, Lita, Edge, and Christian for a few hours before heading home showering the day off and falling asleep only a few seconds after laying down.

winter holiday morning routine!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hey everyone !! first of all, i wish you a merry christmas and i hope yall are ready for 2024 ♡
as the title says, i'm going to share my desired daily morning routine for these winter holidays! hopefully i'll be able to keep it until school starts again...
morning routine ♡
waking up at 7:30am : i'm usually not a morning person, but i'm going to try to get better at "waking up early", because i know it will benefit me in soooo many ways!
getting up straight after the alarm rings : i know that my lazy butt will always try to convince me to sleep a little bit more... but i found a new method that will help me finally getting up at the first alarm.
making my bed, and opening the blinds : the first task of the day should always be "making my bed". it is really crucial to me, as it's the first accomplishment of the day, which gets me to do the other tasks right after.
praying and reading the Bible for a few minutes : i truly want to step out of my "lukewarm christian" era, so praying and reading the Bible right after getting up is somehow like a new goal in my spiritual healing journey. spending time with God in the morning feels very relaxing and comforting, especially when you feel a bit down when you wake up !!
stretching and doing my 10 minutes yoga session : i already try to imply this habit in every single one of my routines, and when i practice it daily, i know how good it can feel.
doing my skincare and getting dressed : skincare is a step i've managed to maintain for a year straight, and i'm surely not getting it out of the way! i also know getting dressed will definitely help me to reduce my laziness during the day.
eating breakfast (and NOT forgetting to pray before) : as a breakfast, i usually eat two egg toasts with an apple/a banana and a warm mint green tea! this meal makes me feel full until lunch, and i really like it!
planning my day and journaling : i've always tried to make this a habit, and i'll never stop trying until it gets unforgettable in my daily morning routine !!! never give up !!!
thanks for reading! love y'all ♡

Do We Focus on Ourselves or God?
How can we profess to be true born again follower of Jesus, Bible believing Christian when we are not serious about God? It’s obvious to see on social media. All our posts are about us, our thoughts, our feelings, our opinions, politics and quotes that are not biblical/spiritually helpful or encouraging. Any true born again followers of Jesus Christ knows very well :
“And He said to him, “ YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22:37-40
‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”
Revelation 3:15-16
“I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.”
John 15:5-6
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; LEAVE ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS”.
Matthew 7:21-23
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10
God cannot be just a part of our lives, He has to be our Everything. We have been born again to serve Him, not ourselves. What we feel and think we can always pray and talk to God about for He cares for us. He provides for all our needs, He protects us, He blesses us and heal us, that is His part; our part is to obey Him in all things and to serve Him out of love for Him, but if we do not make God our Everything, not making Him the center of our life and our only reason for existing, We blatantly disobey the first commandment: YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
How than can we expect to make it to Heaven when we die?
Consider this: “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Matthew 22:14
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14
Wake up people of God! Repent and serve God as you were created to do!!!

If you EVER thought Dolly was a Christian, you may as well wake up now to the truth. She is not...She is an anti-christian. Many, if not all, of these celebrities (including celebrity pastors) push a satanic agenda to entangle you in the world and cause you to follow after a false way. Dolly worships a god of her own understanding...one of her own making. Her lifestyle should be the proof, but the "church" has become so lukewarm that it cannot discern faux from fact. They have been bitten by a snake!
She recently said she wrote a song, "Don't Make Me Have to Come Down There," after having a dream about God, but if you ponder the lyrics for just a minute, you'll discern that it goes right along with the whole false revival agenda...AND what comes right on the heels of that song: a song with Miley Cyrus called "Rainbow Land." Hmmmm...whatever could THAT be promoting?! Yep, you guessed it, races, GENDER (IDEOLOGY), and RELIGIONS. All of this grieves the heart of the Father, and if you are in Him, it should grieve your heart, too.   - Gina Green (Facebook)

lukewarm take ik but honestly considering how little it takes for redbull to swap drivers checo wld have been out a while ago. this season has been fucked and ain't no way they aren't looking at daniel. they brought him to AT to make the swap plausible or something and all this "checo for sure has his seat" is just pr talk cause danny is on fire in AT. All that redbull civil war rumors between Helmut and horner was shit past around by checos pr to get the heat off of him and he is feeling it now specially after Mexico but it's too little too late. Checo got too complacent and de vries's swap shld have been a wake up call that red bull only has one golden boy and it's max verstappen
i honestly pity checo in this whole situation, and id love to know what changed because i know checo drives and performs so much better than this. and as daniel has said, the fact that his seat and how long he'll have it is being called into question now, it isn't something people should be constantly bringing up and discussing. mind you, daniel was in this position last year and it's such a shitty thing to hae happen. and i know i'm guilty of not shutting the fuck up about daniel going back to rbr next year so i've been tryna reign it in.
but to your point, bringing danny back to RB/AT was 100% a move to make a potential swap plausible. i know that getting him back to RB when theres a seat as always been the goal, but putting him in AT (rather than the million junior drivers frothing at the mouth for an f1 seat) given checo's current stats is to be sure that signing him in is as easy as possible.
but i think checo still has his seat because of all the good he's brought the team and all the support he's given when he was at his best. checo is a lot more than what this year has shown, and i honestly believe that christian respects him enough to keep him so long as he doesnt slip too far.

• The Holy Bible is real news, Biblical prophecies are today's news headlines!•  Keep a repentant and sincere heart. 
• Seek the Lord while He may be found. (Isaiah 55:6-7)• Salvation through Jesus Christ is for all people. Jesus Christ loves and died for ALL ethnicities. He does not esteem one ethnic group over another. The Lord looks at the heart, not the outward appearance... · "... For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." -1 Samuel 16:7 · "For there is no respect of persons with God." -Romans 2:11
• I believe Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6) 
• I do not rely on preachers and teachers to spoon-feed me Biblical scripture; I study the Holy Bible/Biblical Scripture for myself ("Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." -2 Timothy 2:15). What I've studied and stored in my heart is continuously with me. 
• Although I do not depend on or expect ‘preachers and teachers’ to spoon-feed me God’s Word, I am grateful for and respect Holy Ghost-filled and knowledgeable Christian leaders (e.g. pastors, ministers, teachers, etc.) Specifically: David Wilkerson, Emery Moss, George William Bogle Sr., G. Craige Lewis, George Bogle, Derek Prince, R.D. Henton, Charles Lawson, Dr. Kent Hovind, Amir Tsarfati, Jack Van Impe, Jacob Prasch, John Haller, etc. 
• You need to understand why and what you believe. (*It is ok to ask sincere questions.) 
• Modern-day ‘Pharisees’ do exist. Pharisees are religious judgmental hypocritical individuals; They are NOT real Christians! Too many fake so-called 'Christians' pretend to love the Lord and people but their actions and the way they live their lives are contrary to what they say they believe. 
• Going to church doesn’t automatically make someone a Christian. There are many snakes and wolves that attend church services.
• Seeking Jesus Christ should always be a personal choice.
• Do NOT be lukewarm. (Revelation 3:15-16)
Tumblr media
As long as you are alive you have a chance to repent and seek Jesus. He is the ONLY (and eternal) hope in this lost and dying world. Jesus loves us and wants us all to be right with Him.
Tumblr media
PS.: There is an agenda bigger than being 💉ed or un💉. It is about CONTROL! No matter what political leaders, media or 'influencers' say, freedom of choice is important (those who think otherwise aren't intelligent!).
Life as we know it will never be the same. 'Normal' is never coming back (and it has nothing to do with a pandemic.) The 2020 pandemic was used as a springboard to bring forth a NWO (as described in Biblical scripture).
If you know, you know. If you don't know, I hope you wake up to what is truly occurring.

You once mentioned that in the past, for a brief period of time, you considered converting to Islam. So here are three question about that: 1. What drew you to that religion? 2. Would you have gone Sunni or Shia? 3. Actually I only have two questions about this, so this is a free space if you want to add something about this.
1. The sense of community, I think. I grew up primarily with lukewarm Catholics, and it was nice to see people who... well, who were invested. Who cared about God and what He wanted. And, I'll be honest here, it was new to me, and exciting, and in some ways that made it more appealing than the Christianity that I had allowed myself to become overly and stuffily familiar with.
2. If I had converted then, I would have definitely gone with Sunni Islam, because that was the version practiced by the majority of my peers. If I were to suddenly wake up now and decide to convert, it would have to be some form of Shi'ism - if Islam is correct, I really think it would have to be some form of Shi'ism, I would just have to figure out which form exactly.
3. What drew me back? Well, I kept a book where I had my favorite quotes from the Bible and the Qur'an. But then one day I noticed that neither of my collections of quotes had quotes about the nature Jesus - about morality, yeah, about prayer, about God's relationship with His creation.... but nothing about Jesus. And I realized that I was avoiding those because that would force me to take a stand on who Jesus was. And that forced me to look at this person of Jesus with a new set of eyes. "But who do you say that I am?"
And, praise be to God, I realized who He was. And you commit to Someone like that.

My Month in Books: March 2023
we are back, babyyyyyy. this was the month of novellasssssssssss
Beowulf, translated by Maria Dahvana Headley: This was so, so, so sexy oh my God. I picked this up from my local bookseller and it just--it really floored me by how phenomenal the translation was? I was skeptical, I have to admit but I felt the excitement, the blood, and the enduring relevance of this story through this translation.
Grendel by John Gardner: We love a themed read but this just wasn't for me. I think reading it so closely to the Headley translation was a mistake. This was exceptionally well-written and there are some great scenes but I felt that the overly academic approach to Grendel sucked the viscera and fear from the story. Grendel's isolation was so complete that, as a reader, I felt alienated from him. The most exciting and climactic moment was, of course, when Beowulf appears and there is this fantastic line: "Oh my God, he's insane" in the wake of Beowulf telling the story of him swimming for several nights through a storm. But, maybe in a different time, this book would have struck me differently but it was a miss for me.
The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis: One more in the journey to read the complete works of Lewis!! I'd read parts of this before but never completely and in order. So, here's the thing, I love Lewis. I really, really am a True Fan. The way that he organized and categorized the world and human relationships is really impactful and truthful. Even contextualizing him in his time period and social context, I really struggled with listening to the homophobia in this. It really bothered me in this book in a way that his mentions of it in Mere Christianity didn't. Part of it was because the introduction to the book was written by Charles Colson, notoriously conservative evangelical, and part of it was because it was a book on love. I feel silly objecting to something that I knew was part of his belief system, a belief system that I don't think he ever had life experiences to challenge. But--it got to me this time. It is the feeling of: you have helped shaped my worldview and you would pity me? I don't know. There is a lot of gold in here. I had a similar lukewarm reaction to The Great Divorce last year and that book has subsequently never left me alone. So, Lewis is a guy who needs to age in my system, I think.
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway: I had such an interesting experience with this one!! I was enjoying it but not feeling particularly moved by it and then halfway through I attended a workshop of an operatic version of it by Paola Prestini and my mind completely changed. Her clear love of the book, the beauty that she mined from it...seeing someone who so clearly loves this book and this story completely changed my perspective on it. And when I finished it, I had a much deeper appreciation for the story, the drama of it, and the beauty in it.
Here Goes Nothing by Eamon McGrath: This sucked. Like, this is already the worst book I have read and will read this year. I mean, it was remarkably bad. I listened to the audiobook version on the drive home from Boston and it was incredible. I listen to audiobooks to help pass the time and this actively made my trip feel longer. I just. It was only 2.5 hours long and I felt like I lost years to this book. The writing was inconsistent--vacillating between pretty good to sophomoric and just filled with poorly constructed metaphors. The story was confusing, without purpose or shape. The idea of the audiobook was to have a customized soundtrack that matched the story and it just--was bad. Like, sir, the reason you never made it big as a musician is because you are bad at this. I understand the romanticization of your misspent youth and a nomadic period of your life...but this whole rebels without a cause thing just didn't land. As I grow older, my patience with the sighing, looking out the window at human foibles and disappointments grows shorter and shorter. My guy, you need better friends. You need to be a better person. Treat your mom better. That's all. It was an interestingly gendered book--the characters are all male and apparently unable to understand or communicate...any emotion or physical urge including anger, hunger, fear, happiness in any way that is remotely productive. The lack of women here was also very noticeable. I mean--to be sure, it was about a group of men and they are in a culture where women are there to be...fucked or are their literal mothers but the narrator low-key drops that he had a nameless girlfriend the ENTIRE time in the last fifteen minutes and you're like, oh my GOD, you really...really...WHAT. You really...really treat the women in your life disposably.
Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade: I read one trashy romance book a year and this was ittttttttttttttt. It was, as all these books are, a Time and a Half. I actually liked this one best of the whole series. Like just--absolutely a wild time from beginning to end. 10/10 they tried to fuck in a room next to a wedding proposal filled with all their coworkers no notes. I do think that it's hysterical that D&D not showing up to that Game of Thrones fan conference probably sparked this entire romance trilogy in which they, very specifically, feature as the single worst human beings to ever exist on the face of the earth. Good for her.

Attention! Are You Awake? Some of my online friends and acquaintances may possibly consider some of my graphics work, poetry, etc., to be a little over the top. Maybe so, maybe not. However, if you happen to hold such a view regarding my work, allow me to briefly explain why I do it. You see, there is a reason that I take such a bold, sometimes unorthodox approach to preaching the Gospel. As many of you will know, our Christian faith has been greatly compromised in this modern day of political correctness, manpleasing and itching ears. The Scriptural truth has been so distorted, twisted and perverted. The result is that many folks don't know the truth, have become deceived, and contrary to the warnings of the First Century Apostles, have fallen into a state of spiritual lethargy and lukewarmness, insofar as their faith is concerned. So, if organized religion is going in one direction, then through my online work, I will go to the opposite extreme, in the hope that it will wake up some people. Perhaps my work will help some of my viewers and readers to find a balance between what the compromised churches preach, and what I teach and preach via the Bill's Bible Basics online ministry. Exactly what do I teach and preach? Well, here is a good way to find out: https://www.billkochman.com/Articles/index-new.html That's it in a nutshell. https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/attention-are-you-awake/?feed_id=19981&_unique_id=63a3d8ef14341&Attention%21%20Are%20You%20Awake%3F

The Wrath of God
Tumblr media
Do you fear God? When you pray, do you meet The Lord with the proper respect to which he is owed. I am observing Now a days it seems that everyone thinks he is their personal friend. They pray to him with no respect or regard to his Power and Kingdom. Its done in a fashion that people seem to brag about for instance, "I talk to God like this" then what follows is this ignorance as if they are talking to their friend from school/work or around the way. Where is the respect? Where is the approach of honor? The lack of respect for authority is alarming. There are many false prophets, preachers, pastors, bishops and others that are purposefully attempting to dismantle his authority to make it more acceptable for the masses, whereas the masses needs that FEAR OF GOD to discipline them. In the olden times there was a healthy fear of God that people respected. Now, people have turned away from authority. 
I blame the false leaders, the ill mannered parents and society as a whole for not upholding the values. I have been watching Sermon after Sermon and I see a common theme of disrespect. From the self proclaimed Apostle Gino, William Murphy, Mike Todd , Joyce Meyers, Joel Osteen to name a few. They preach the word as if they are walking on eggshells in front of their own congregation. Worried about public opinion and not delivering the fullness of the word. In addition to TD Jakes, I indeed believe that this man was called to the ministry at one point in time by God but through his greed and his sinful acts he has fallen into a pit that only repentance will save him. Yet, in his efforts to save his church he wont admit to any wrong doing but when you take a covenant with the occult, no longer are you fit to leads Gods People. 
Romans 16:18 reads 
For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.
Serving their insatiable appetite for fame, money and love by the world. You can clearly see their values do not align with the Good book. Engaging in sin that defiles God and our temples [the body]. Conversing with other fellow Christians, there is this brainwashed response;
Matthew 7:1-2 reads 
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Yet, I counter that with Ephesians 5:11 which reads,
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
Its not judgement, only God can do that. I am not here to Judge or condemn but I am here to shine light on darkness.  I can not sit here and watch the masses drink from your chalice expecting  Living Water but in fact your serving Infested Pond Water. A message with no concrete value that isn't supported by scripture and doctrine. Glorified Lukewarm Motivational Speakers with the audacity to say the God sent you to deliver that message. I rebuke you. 
These people you call "leaders" have conformed to the World and do not stand apart as Gods appointed. Why is that do you wonder? Did it ever cross your mind? Did it feel odd? To witness your preacher engaging in World Music, Worldly activities, Worldly social gathers, Worldly speech? There has to be a moment you see the forest from the trees. We need to wake up before they lead you into the Lake of fire. 
Romans 12:2 reads 
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
We are not meant to operate as the World does. That is not true Christianity, God did not instruct us to work this way. Yet we have pastors/bishops and other leaders of the church at Beyonce concerts and playing worldly music inside of the churches to appeal more to a younger crowd. Is this for profit ? Its certainly not for God!
I encourage you to think about your church ? Think of its foundation. Does it truly align with the word of God, the acts of God? and morals of God?. If it doesn’t then you need to Run! Before you follow any man who is flawed you first make sure that he is in proper posture to lead you to God. 
Through my research and connection with God I realized I had a Sacred Encounter.

6:13:08 = 27 or 18 = 9
October 6, 2023 at 6:13am PHT: The time I happened to see after turning on my other (aka "this") phone.
It apparently turned itself off while I "rested my eyes" as I left it to charge at around 2:46am PHT which rendered the Full Battery Charge Alarm app useless. In other words, I wasn't able to hear a "wake-up call".
I initially saw 6:12am PHT which made me pray to Papa Jesus not to change the time but, alas, my request has been denied. It took me a split second or more whether if I should take screenshots of my lockscreen.
As you can see, I followed through. Why? Apart from my third imaginary ex-boyfriend's birthday, it's because I'm reminded of Luke Matthew 6:13 which is to always do things for God's glory and not mine.
I have recently been too caught up with the worldly things that I'm once again starting to get comfortable in loving this fleeting life instead of working on my relationship with the Heavenly Father.
Talk about being a lukewarm Christian!

Revelation 3:16 | Laodicea [Colossians 2:1-5] So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of MY mouth!
Let me give you, what I would call, my modernized American version of the kinds of questions I would ask people if I was trying to get them to really think about whether or not they know CHRIST or whether they're [atheist/agnostic, etc.]
These are questions designed to wake up the sleepy Christians & to convert nominal Christians, so here's a couple questions:
   •  How real has GOD been this week to your heart         there's a question to ask somebody in pastoral         work or in a small group
   •  How clear & vivid is your assurance and certainty         of GOD's forgiveness & FATHERLY love, to what         degree is that real to you right now?
   •  Are you having any particular seasons of         sweet delight in GOD?
   •  Do you really sense HIS Presence in your life?         Do you really sense HIM giving you HIS love
Here's another question:
   •  Have you been finding Scripture to be alive         & active; the Scripture instead of just being         a book?
   •  Does it feel like it's coming at you & searching         you & really alive & active & coming after you
   •  Are you finding certain biblical promises         extremely precious & encouraging, which         ones are you finding GOD's challenging you?
   •  Are calling you to something through the         Word, in what ways?
Okay here's the third question:
   •  Are you finding GOD's grace more glorious         & moving now than you have in the past?
   •  Are you conscious of a growing sense of         the evil of your heart and in response a         growing dependence on & grasp of the         preciousness of the mercy of GOD?
You see, put together, that is a growing understanding of grace.

3 Questions Fake Christians Can’t Answer | Megan Briggs
Material From: 2013-02-28 Series: Gospel Renewal Published: July 2, 2021
There are several questions that fake Christians will not be able to answer; according to Tim Keller, these are questions that focus on hallmarks of a growing.
Tim Keller offers a group of “questions designed to wake up sleepy Christians” in the following video.
These questions would make for a great small group Bible studies, or could also be used when mentoring someone one-on-one.
They also serve as excellent fodder for self-reflection!
A.] Evidence of GOD’s Presence in your life
   •  How real has God been this week to your heart?    •  How clear and vivid is your assurance & certainty         of GOD’s forgiveness and fatherly love. To what         degree is that real to you right now?    •  Are you having any particular seasons of sweet         delight in GOD? Do you really sense HIS         presence in your life? Do you really sense HIM         giving you HIS love?
B.] Evidence of Scripture changing you
   •  Have you been finding Scripture to be alive         and active?    •  Are you finding certain biblical promises         extremely precious and encouraging?         Which ones?    •  Are you finding GOD’s calling you or challenging         you to something thru the word, in what ways?
C.] Evidence of a growing appreciation for GOD’s mercy
   •  Are you finding GOD’s grace more glorious &         moving now than you have in the past?    •  Are you conscious of a growing sense of the         evil of your heart, and in response, a growing         dependence on & grasp of the preciousness         of the mercy of GOD?
These questions are worth asking, whether people are fake Christians — or whether they need to be woken from their spiritual sleep.

I did say you keep pushing your beliefs down my throat I’ll do the same in return. I stand for what Is right even if I’m standing alone. I knew all along I have a purpose not realizing this is what it is. Reaching out to anyone who will take a minute to listen. This isn’t common ground we are standing on.
First John 2:4 sure you’re not going to like that.
Mathew 5:10 getting on the right track
John 14:15 gonna fight that
This is good vs evil what side are you on?
Proverbs 17:15 stop justifying wrong
Proverbs 28:1 the hill I’m dying on, a man gotta he a man. Better repent, for the kingdom of god is at hand.
We are living in revolution, and I know we are on the brink. We are at war and the enemy is closer than you think. Lies get louder and the truth goes unnoticed because of all these shrinks. Preachers are preaching the wrong teachings and so many are afraid to expose them. Joel Osteen being one of them. It’s not to late to turn from sin stop failing the test and repent now because you can’t do it when it’s over. Beyoncé and Rihanna being icons and being worshiped like they can save you, they can’t, but Christ can! You are just blinded by the truth you need to read Revelation 21:8
Carrie underwood sang Jesus take the wheel, Jesus is my Chauffeur. The Holy Spirit is my Hype man. The Father sent his Son that’s his right hand. Y’all need to wake up, read the Bible, buy a rifle cause it’s coming down to survival. Y’all need the gospel, but you rather be hostile. I know you was told Satan is coming for all our souls. Killing babies just took a toll they want division while they take full control. Lukewarm Christians are getting lead by the blind following these fake preachers who are sending them to Satan’s door every time. If you see rainbow flags outside it’s a fake church, how can you disrespect the Man that made earth? I’m telling you we are coming to the end of times, better start acting right.
The titanic sank, but Noah’s ark didn’t let that sink in.
