    What has God been teaching you recently?

    He's shown me that I resent myself for....well a whole bunch of reasons. And when you blame yourself for everything...you've put yourself in a position of control that isn't yours. It means, essentially, I don't trust God because I believe I'll screw everything, I'll miss every opportunity, etc...

    Insert title here...

    Probably nobody will read this. I'll write it anyway because it's my prerogative. It just gets me how much we, even as Christians, ignore the feelings of others. But also are own. Because they're uncomfortable. Feelings are uncomfortable. Healing from trauma is uncomfortable. We can't just go...

    What does it mean to be normal?

    Everything I'm about to say, I say as a person who does not view herself as normal. And also, I'll be "preaching" to myself here because I struggle in this area. Who gets to decide what "normal" is? Doctors? They look at (or should) what is "text book" or average to have a baseline to know when...

    The Sabbath

    I'd love to hear from parents of little children. It is difficult to have a day of rest with three little kids. And I'm a single parent. One day of not cleaning is...inviting chaos. Weekends up in here are generally overwhelming even without trying to intentionally rest. What do you do?

    Depression is part of the human condition yes. So are many other physical and mental conditions. Doesn't mean we should just have to live with them. I don't mean to sound snappy. I'm just struggling.

    Healing (not a linear process)

    "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a...

    Pain

    Why do we human beings avoid expressing pain, even to God? Why hold onto to it? It would be like having an open wound and a doctor says, "I can sew that up for you. I can take care of it and give you everything you need to heal that wound." And you're being like, nah I'm good and don't even...

    Avoidance

    If I'm being honest...I'm so perpetually stressed and overwhelmed that I forget what normal feels like. And I'm in more inner turmoil then I've ever been in. And that's really saying something. This is the first time for me "saying" this "aloud". So. There that is.

    Introducing myself

    I'd rather remain an enigma actually. Lol. Joking but not. So I've been a Christian since 2015. I suppose you'd say I backslid for a few years. I had a third child during this time. But shortly after he turned one I ended the relationship with his father. Now I'm basically piecing myself back...
