Whew, actually just spent the last twenty minutes in the walk-in freezer with every other customer and server at Mule Kick, hiding out from a tornado. It appears to have passed by now, and neither this place, nor my school or home nearby are affected. Lord willing it passed Magnolia entirely and did not harm a single person or home in the nearby towns either. I was a bit afraid, but luckily most of the other patrons and servers were cracking jokes while we were together in the freezer to kind of diffuse the tension.

Perhaps the very reason I hold a particular fear of tornadoes whenever there is a warning, is that I never actually have been through one, but they certainly always seemed scary in movies and on TV.

Glad to hear you are all safe!

Trapped in a freezer during a tornado is something out of a horror story!

I was telling a friend earlier this week that personal blogs should come back.

There's times I just want to say something and have others agree with me. There's only one social media account that allows free speech (Gab), but the problem with it is that a particular group of people control it (because there's so many of them and some have been there a long time). I saw one long-time account admit that he runs off people he doesn't like. I have also witnessed another account that tells people to get off Gab when someone says something she doesn't like or after an argument.

When I was in middle school, I had used LiveJournal and that was cool.

I need to reignite my spirit for him. I went on vacation a few weeks ago & just the passion fell off some, I've gotten distracted by the world & it's good things, the good routines I was in I'm not doing. Pray it comes back! I guess it's more than a feeling tho or experiences, that is a big part of the Gospel it's not based on what you are feeling or what you are doing. I need to draw to him again & he says he will draw to me. He is in fact inside me.

I think before then I was starting to get too cultish. I think Christianity s/b cultish to some extent, but there was a lot of self-righteousness & judgement that was coming w/ it. I asked God to help me w/ that. I'd like to see more passion again tho.

In my daily Bible reading yesterday, there were a couple of verses that spoke to me. It gave me comfort and peace.

May I ask what they were, Miss Peaceful? :)

I think you'll be a bit surprised...

There's this false teacher on a social media website I'm on. The false teaching greatly bothers me. I had been thinking about her.

And then, when I read 1 Timothy 6 yesterday, this stood out to me:

1 Timothy 6:3-4 AMP:
"If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine and teaching which is in agreement with godliness (personal integrity, upright behavior), he is conceited and woefully ignorant [understanding nothing]. He has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words..."

I added the boldness on the things that popped out and I thought of this evil woman. That is her description.

It made me feel like God was siding with me, and that he agrees that her false teaching is wrong.

I'm going to start getting upset about marriage again if I don't refocus on God.
