Proverbs
3:5
This is not just a hobby, it's a calling. I started this website with my daughter 3 years ago. It's been a life changer for the both of us in discovering our true identities again after the loss of someone close to us.
We all lost a great man in Charlie Kirk this week. He provided guidance, knowledge and wisdom for everyone who wanted to obtain words of insight.
To receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equality; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth-
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.
It's incredible witnessing social media feeds being inundated with scripture. The most unfortunate part about this week is losing a disciple like Charlie Kirk but also witnessing the evil from the ones celebrating his murder. He will live on through his work. As an adult it's my calling to spread the wisdom of our Lord any way possible.
Deuteronomy
6 ~ 5:7
Growing up in Ohio I was raised Christian. I don't ever recall my parents reading the Bible. After raising two kids as a single mother, I wish that I would've read the Bible in front of them. Now is my time to walk the walk and talk the talk. Now is the time for me to disciple and spread the word of our Lord. Now is the time for me to proudly share my heart and soul within my house.
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
It's never too late to start reading the Bible and doing it openly. My daughter is proud of me and now I'm teaching them to her, and anyone else that would like to listen. From someone who suffers from depression the path to happiness is through the word of God and reading the Bible.
James
1-4
As I'm working on this first post my daughter casually informs me that she has aphantasia (a condition in which individuals are unable to form or experience mental images). She just turned 20, and I'm hearing this for the first time. My brain feels blown away in shock. After the shock it is all making sense though. This is why she never role played with dolls. Breaks my heart but I believe God has a plan.
Greeting~
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.
Testing your Faith:
Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters. When you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
I couldn't image what my version of the world would be now if I couldn't even picture my loved ones faces, or images. Only 0.9% of the population have this disability. She has stayed steadfast and adapted to just another trial in her life. I believe that's why she's such an incredible artist because she goes about it logically, not by memory.
Ephesians 4:26
Rage can be a very difficult emotion for people with mental health issues. Especially PANDAS/PANS. Grace's experience with PANDAS/PANS includes rage towards herself.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath (When angry, do not sin, never let your wrath last until the sun goes down.)
When you feel rage toward yourself, do not act on it. Don't let the anger cause you to sin. When you feel rage toward others, settle your differences.
