I found MP100 when I was actually doing pretty good. Things weren’t Perfect, but I was Much happier in my life than I had been just a few years prior. I had just gotten into One Punch man a few months before and heard that One’s Other work ‘Mob Psycho 100’ was gonna get an Anime Adaptation. Interested, I saw Mother’s Basement PV Analysis video and I my interest was 100% Piqued and I looked forward to seeing it sometime.

I ended up watching it with my sister when it had 4 episodes up and I can Honestly tell you I was hooked from the get go ;D;/ That intro scene?? Marvelous, I Loved it, and the next just 10 seconds solidified it in my soul Forever, oiuyftghj >XD

The Animation was Wonderful, Inspired - for someone who LOVES going Above and Beyond (when I eventually DO do things ;D;’’’)/Seeing Others go Above and Beyond was Beyond any kind of pleasure I can describe - the Characters were Downright Hilarious and also more ~Real~ feeling within a few minutes than Other shows I’ve seen get in multiple seasons - the Story/just Everything on the whole just Beyond words, I’d say ;D;/ Even with just the section that was animated it became one of my Favorite Stories of All Time, and, when I eventually got to the Manga, my Second Favorite Manga of All Time ;D;/

I spend alot of time talking about how the series was Amazing/Spectacular (huftghj, it’s hard to find enough words that Truly describe just how much I FEEL about it ;D;/) cause that’s a big part of who I am/the things I Do, honestly. I wouldn’t be Me, or any Kind of Me, without Stories and the ones that I have Experienced/Have Taken me Beyond what I thought was Amazing and have shown me even More. Mob Psycho 100 is Beautiful. 

I could go on ~Forever~ about how the Writing is near-flawless, the Timing is Amazing, how it Continually feels like things are going on/follows a Nice Structure™ which *also just feels like a natural progression of the characters/it’s just what Happens hgfgvhjkl it’s Wonderful //;D;//* and a Thousand Million other little blips of just how Awesome it is /;D;/ but then, I’d be here for the next several weeks, so it’s best left for a topic of Another post, Lol >XD

The Show/Manga/Story All and in of itself is Amazing, and More than worthy of praise/being spoken of.

However,

the Legacy of MP100 goes Above and Beyond AGAIN.

-flourishes hand- Not Only is it amazing by itself, but it Also has just one of the most Absolute BEST FANDOMS I HAVE EVER SEEN. 

Like, How Absolutely Crazy is it that Not Only does MP100 have the Amazing talents of One behind it, but also AN ENTIRE LEGION OF AMAZINGLY TALENTED PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL SO NICE AND SWEET AND ENTHUSIASTIC (AND SH-TPOSTING) GYFTFGHJKL IT’S JUST THE MOST WONDERFUL THING ///;D;///

This is the First Fandom I felt Compelled to be a part of, to keep up with certain artists and writers and sh-tposters, Heck, the first fandom I Actively Sought out Fan Fiction in ;D;// (The Whole Story of How I Used to Dislike Fanfiction but then Loved It ™ is probably left to a different post, but just a quick shout out to @phantomrose96​ A Breach of Trust, which has Better Writing then I’ve even seen in a LOT  of Fully Published books I had growing up, uiyftghjkl; I -Still- feel it in my Soul, Chrissy, and I look Forward to dying more, uyftcghjk ;D;//) 

Amazing Artists, Amazing Fanfiction, so much Talent and Effort and Love, all for the common love of an Amazing series, and Eventually, for the Love of Each Other and each other’s amazing works ;u;

MP100 is my First Active Fandom/I don’t have much experience with Other ones, but it has BLOWN ME AWAY  with just how Nice and Caring Everyone is //;D;// How Everyone just Band Together and SH-TPOSTS TO NO END, Supports each other and each others Works, how just Fun and Lively this all is //;D;// 

it Matches and even goes Beyond the Already Hyper-Amazing MP100 canon, and is just. . . Beautiful ;D;

One place in Particular stands out, and that is the freaking ABoT Server: If you’ve never heard of it, it is probably the Beset Place on the Whole Internet, Filled with the Kindest most Supportive People in the Whole World - Each of Every Person on there is Amazing/Beyond Description in their Own Right, and I have felt more At Home there than Most places I have been to on this Earth/In this Life. 

I can now Proudly (and with Tears in my eyes) say that I have Friends - Particularly One that I have connected to more than nearly Anyone Else I have Met (they’re freaking AMAZING I Love them so much ausfgyhjsdak As w/ MP100 itself I could spend WEEKS just Gushing about them, iugyfsghduijkd ///;D;/// (Another time >:3ccc)) - I have a place I Know I can go to if I feel down or crippled with anxiety, I have a Place. . . It feels Good, and to Everyone on the Discord: I Love you All, God Bless Everyone of you Amazing Horrible :reisweat: people /u\ 

And this is All because of MP100 ;D;/ Because One guy sat down and wrote this Amzaing, Masterfully Done Story, that has touched the hearts of nearly Everyone who has seen it - manga or anime or Fanwork or Anything ;u;/

I am sad it’s ending, but I have Faith - I have Faith it will End Well and Satisfyingly, I have Faith it will Live On/More people will be touched by it, and I have Faith in Every Single Person who has contributed/has Made Up this Amazing Fandom, and I have No Doubt All of you will go on to even More Amazing Things >:3 /u\

Thank you One, and MP100 itself, for an Amazing Experience / Alter/Addition to my Life that I will Never forget, Nor Stop being Grateful for /u\ Thank you, and God Bless you All /u\ ~ <3

In honor of mp100 ending

I just want to say what mp100 means to me

I found mp100 when I wasn’t in a good point in my life. I was drowning in failing grades and helplessness every night. Then I found this show and instantly felt a connection. No other story has pulled my emotions around as much as mp100 has, and it’s themes helped me realize that it’s ok to be myself, even if others don’t think so.

Then I met the fandom. Never before had I been so involved in a fandom before, or have connected with so many people. I met many people who I now call friends, and have a Super Friend now with a powerful bond that never would’ve occurred if it wasn’t for mp100.

Mp100 helped me realize my own potential, and I have never been happier or felt more loved. Thank you ONE, and thank you all my friends in the fandom. My life has been changed for the better

Ao3 IS BEING A BIT OF A BUTT AND NOT LETTING ME POST THE REST OF MY COMMENT ON @ghoststrawberries WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL WORK FIVE SECOND RULE (MP100 FAN FIC) SO HERE IS THE REST OF MY COMMENT TO CHAPTER 26 (MINE SHOULD BE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM, AND IS BY ‘Kat’) 

(Note! This Comment contains Spoilers if you Haven’t read up to Chapter 26! If you Haven’t read FSR Yet; PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE IT AND IT IS GOOD o3o/)

(Also Note! *IT IS VERY, VERY, VERY LONG*)

BUT YEAH THESE BOYS *THESE BOYS* THESE BOYS HAVE ALOT TO DEAL WITH AND ALOT OF OPENING UP TO DO (TO EACH OTHER BUT ALSO WITH THEMSELVES HOLY DANG) AND IOUHGG BUT YEAH NOW THEY'RE IN THE PAST AND THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT PROBLEM/I REALLY HOPE THEY MAKE IT OUT OF THIS OK I REALLY WANT THESE BOYS TO BE HAPPY PLEASE LET THESE BOYS BE HAPPY (Of Course I Don't mean, like, Instantly happy oiuygf that in this situation would Probably be a little crazy but More I mean like they Navigate these waters Ok and make it home (Sometimes Instant relief is Good and Ok but sometimes (especially in stories, Lol ;D;) the also Going through things is important too at times it's Okay I Really want these boys to be ok after all this and after they've been through and everything they still have to deal with and everything going on internally for them I just Really want these boys to make it out ok /u\'' They'll Make it, I think, I hope, I Think they'll make it /u\'''' *Cries softly/calmly but with a hopeful smile*))

Ah, *looks back* that was alot ':D Oh! And as Middyrose said; The Dialogue-Heavyness Fits the current Situation, Lol XD and Lol *Understands what you mean about "writing dialogue makes my mind feel muddy. i like telling how a character is feeling more through the little things they do rather than through the things they think while theyre talking, yknow?"* It's like, At this Time all they can Really do is Talk and Regroup after this, ya know? :3 Plus, what someone says/what they don't say speaks just as much as things they do as Well X3 *Like, choosing what to say/what to leave out is as Much a thing someone does as other ticks n' things? :3* They Way Mob talks about the 'Time travel thing', the various pauses, Word Choice, the Journey through the conversation/the twists and turns it takes as Each person goes through things of their own and process the conversation/bits of info and and (to varying degrees) thinks about/is considerate of/takes into account the person they're having the conversation with Plus the Various ways people Deal with things like comparing and contrasting Everything (New Info, the Other Person, etc.) with what they Previously held as true/what they Do hold as true or compare/contrasting with what they Thought or what they Want and their own reactions to that and oiuytrdfgcvbbn Yeah there's Alot going on with Dialogue XD It's Not just two people spouting info for the audience to hear, Lol XD *ThAT'S when Dialogue Sucks ;D;* Trust me, my friend, the Way you do Dialogue is AWESOME. Everything I mentioned with word choice and pauses and taking into account the other person and Dealing with things through out and twists and turns in conversation - you do it All Beautifully XD 100%, No Doubt, It's Amazing XD

Ritsu coming in with apology (and his Own things with what happened) Not wanting Mob to be Upset but also Him not wanting Himself to be like that/to react like that and Mob still being Upset/locking things away at first (*HHNNNNN*) and the Understanding (but also Acceptance of Ritsu's fear as a solid thing that's still there to a degree (much to Ritsu's upsetness (<- I Tried to think of a better word and there Was none it's just This ;D;) Ritsu's moved on from that in the conversation at the surface level but one can Still tell he's not ok with that/with himself being like that and that's still a thing that sucks ;D;)) but Yeah the Understanding and the Offering of the same feeling but still Not being 100% Ok with it either (oiuhygf *MOB* *CRIES*) but Yeah then Ritsu Offering solutions as a Starting point to spark conversation (something like, say, Demanding things will be ok if they do this or Absolute Faith in a certain thing would have Total other connotations n' such :3 (Not that I think he would *Just as an Example XD*)) and we Also see his Thought process (Lol "his *attitude*" LOL *YES* RITSU YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH OF A GOOD THING IT WOULD BE TO *NOT* HAVE HIM IN THIS RIGHT NOW LOL *CRIES ;D;*) Mob shooting down the idea a bit (Not Meanly or anything just Legit ;D;'''') and the How he refers to Time Travel (Showing he's Super new at it/never seen it before/Ritsu picks up on that making it more Final for him (and for Us, the readers, a bit XD)) and That leaves Ritsu like ". . . well then What do we do?" a little lost cause He has no clue and if Nii-san has no clue then What do we do? also the Wording of it is like "“What should we do then?”" he's Asking Mob like their Dynamic is still there and even if Mob Doesn't know what to do he's still asking him like One Asks someone who Knows more (As opposed to saying "what Do we do", which is more like they're on Equal terms/seen as more Together on equal ground in his Head but with the working that's There the 'what Should we do' that's more like he Still sees Mob as the one in charge sorta or the One who would be the one to come up with the ideas and *asdfghj* Lol yeah ;D;'' (Still on the pedestal a bit ;D;''''')) And Mob Responds to that by (slowly, though) gripping Ritsu's hand back trying to be reassuring/trying to Rise up to the position as 'Older Brother' but with his Wording and the Way he Delivers it it's Still Obvious he isn't very sure of the situation itself (Still the trying to Comfort and Reassure Ritsu is a Thing - Trying to be Hopeful (Also, to note, the lack of him relying on Ritsu in this is a thing; like in episode 11 he was like "Ritsu's here It'll all be ok :)" is a Stark contrast to This like he understands Ritsu a little better too like No, Neither of them really know about this kind of situation not even Ritsu (Him not being like he was in episode 11 is Good for Ritsu a bit cause, Lol, imagine That pressure ;D;''') it might Also be like that cause he's still in a bit of Shock at this kind of situation (this is a Very Bizarre Situation) and it Doesn't cross his Mind as much maybe *Shrugs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯* There's Alot of ways to interpret that XD *Most of which are probably true, in varying degrees*)) Ritsu bringing up the Points that they need to be Careful Plus the fact that he Doesn't think he has his Powers anymore which is a Problem/Plus he doesn't just Blindly go with Mob's sorta-optimism Either ((That goes with the Still Heavy Worry about the situation/maybe some guilt tossed in/also indicative of a slightly negative and/or Realistic personality/world/situation view point) also They've both grown, I think, but it's a little sad, too. . .) the Thing with their Mom coming to check on them happens and That brings to the forefront the current right-now situation again and Ritsu's previous point is dropped/forgotten for now and Mob brings up that they should sleep ("insists softly," Still soft and quiet like but Still insisting not Suggesting - taking a Bit of control in the situation (Older Brother-ish, I'd say, but I Don't think he means it on purpose *It's More they Type of thing where Someone has more Experience so they're like "Yeah let's do this" cause that's their previous experience and they're Solid in that and slightly Authoritative in the matter* (at least, in their own minds 'XD XD))) Ritsu responding with a scowl and “I feel like I’ve slept enough.” rejecting that a little (That has whole connotations Probably Tired of not knowing what to do/The Desire to get out of this situation as Soon as possible/Probably the rejection of Not knowing what to do/Having no clear (or even Fuzzy) idea of a way to get back and just General Frustration (Not a general rejection of/frustration at Mob, though - The response would be totally Different if that were the case) (Plus All This coupled with the admission of still being Tired Show his character/personality/his current state of mind/a bit of Emotional state)) Mob pulling out his Actual experience (as an older sister Myself it's something I've done, where if your younger sibling Doesn't go along with what you suggest you pull out/Give the Example of why what You suggest is the Right Thing - Mob of course doesn't mean it meanly or anything (LOL I know I have >D>'') it's more like, as the wording suggests, "Shigeo advises," is More just giving back up/evidence to show that Yeah sleeping is a good idea right now (this Also shows concern for Ritsu (partly of which is probably subconscious/he's not fully aware of it) with the Yeah sleeping is good for you and I Want you to be ok so Please sleep cause that's what I've found to be Best in this sort of situation (this Also contrasts with Earlier how he wasn't sure what to do at all but Here he' like "Yeah, This." Also supports how Mob's more concerned with the Now Situation/Accepting of what's happened/moving Forward from there/getting things to be Ok That way/being more at Peace with not knowing what to do as opposed to Ritsu who's more Impatient (see the Connotations of him rejecting the Idea of Sleeping, Lol XD) more Diving in headlong right now-like (with the whole Wanting to Relive everything/make sure it's Better so it'll be ok) which is a Very Jumping-in-Headlong decision) and Yeah Ritsu caves after a bit, admitting Mob's right which has Things of it's own/the whole Giving up the way He thought things, but it Also has the consequence of more of that Pedestal action happening and he's dealing with that and maybe Yeah that makes him more tired/wants things to go away to a degree/yeah maybe sleep is an ok idea)) we End with Shigeo Reassuring Ritsu again (More Brotherly concern/Taking the position as Older Brother) and Ritsu still doesn't Like it that much/Doesn't like the waiting, but he accepts it and Now we get the feeling/idea that They're gonna be more Together on this afterwards/Hopefully, at least for a while, no more disparity between the two too much '':3 XD :3

and Wow I Didn't think I'd spend two hours analyzing a Mob and Ritsu conversation but I Did (and I'm Glad I did, Lol! XD) and Lol so Yeah Don't worry you're Still getting alot across Organically/Naturally that Isn't just Thoughts XD (the Thoughts seem to more Supplement what's going on in the Conversation, anyway XD No Worries :3) (*thinks for a bit about the Power she possesses* and Don't Think I won't Do it Again! o3o/// *Analyze Everything to Prove you're still doing Good o3o///* Lol!! XD No worries >:3 >X3)

"also, ive been falling behind a bit on replying to reviews, and im sorry! i try to reply as best i can and say thank you to the ones i feel can be replied to, but lately things in my life have been a bit overwhelming, and so i keep forgetting to reply, especially to longer reviews." *looks up at her Multi-comment review and Sweats* but Lol, No Worries!! XD It's all Good :3 *Honestly it's just Such a Pleasure to Read this that I Already feel Spoiled, my goodness ;D;* Hopefully things work out for you n' such! :3 And LOL DON'T WORRY about anything *Take your Time, We don't mind,* it's a little Fun to worry for a bit about your favorite characters/to Wonder at what's gonna happen next XD (Gives the Finding Out a Certain Sweet Taste that's Hard to get otherwise XD) So No Worries :3 *Take your Time X3*

Good Luck with things, No worries, and oiugcf See you Next Chapter!! >:D XD *sdfhgj IS SO EXCITED //o3o// XD* (*SCREAMS* LET MY BOYS BE OK *CRIES HER EYES OUT ;D;*)

“You are my rock and my fortress; for your name’s sake lead and guide me.” - Psalm 31: 4

I Love this line. And, earlier, a way came to me to link it to one of my Favorite realizations;

If God is our rock, then that means He is like the earth we stand on. Strong, Solid, Ever-present, Never wavering.

As children we didn’t know what a rock was, or what the earth was. Did that mean it wasn’t there? Did the earth come into existence only after we knew about it?

No, it didn’t. It was always there as we walked and ran and cried and played. The only difference learning about it made was that we finally were Aware of it.

God’s Love/Support/Guidance was Always there. Always Guiding, always Supporting, always Loving. And He will be With Us for Eternity /u\

So, even when we are in pain or suffering or in darkness and don’t know what’s next, or even when things are great and we are surrounded by happiness and comfort and feel fulfilled, we will call out with our whole hearts this line;  

 “But I Trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.”” -Psalm 31:15

~Also! Just a little extra; Lol, God is even ~more~ ever-present/unwavering as the earth, cause while the Earth hasn’t been here for eternity and it might shift as it does during earthquakes, God has Always been there - even before any of us were made! - and God is Never wavering; Not even Death could stop him. He conquered death, and He is with us Always /u\

“Praised be the Lord, I exclaim! I have been delivered from my enemies. In my distress I called out: Lord! I cried out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice;my cry to him reached his ears.” 

- Psalm 18:4.7

This weeks quote I thought a little weird. 

I was reading my daily prayers/devotional that usually every day has a theme. Today’s theme was “Words and Actions”, talking about how easy it is to say something convincing in the moment (even with good intentions) and then just not follow up. 

Often, the readings connect intimately with the day’s theme. The first one did, and was about Jesus saying that even if one doesn’t believe his words they should see his Actions and believe. 

The Next one, however, was the psalm, and I was a little confused when I read it and the entire section prescribed was about Thankfulness to God for deliverance from threats. Not that that’s a bad thing or anything like that, but I didn’t see what that had to do with Actions/making sure your words are backed up with Actions.

So I thought for a while, and I realized; What if it’s pointing out that God, who says that He’ll always be here for us/when we need/will deliver us from bad things, Is Faithful in everything He Promises? And instead of just Saying so or a quote that just Says so, they decided to show with an Example that He does this. Something more ‘concrete’; His Actions.

Quite a good way of setting an Example, I’d say XD

~Also! Also today I was thinking about how sometimes, when one realizes their well-meaning words and actual actions don’t match up, it’s very disheartening and one feels like just turning away/doing nothing but sit in shame. (At least, that’s how I often feel.) 

I feel I need to say; No Worries!! It’s Never too late to start living by Action/making sure you keep your word! 

It’s hard in the beginning (then again almost All beginnings are hard) but, with God with us/by His Grace and with Determination, It is Definitely Possible/Doable - For Everyone. I have No Doubt. X3

“The Lord is close too the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed. Many are the troubles of the just, but the Lord delivers from them all.” 

- Psalm 34:19-20

This is another encouraging quote this week, I think X3 

I believe that now ‘the just’ doesn’t Just mean people of Faith, But All People. Jesus said He came for Everyone, for All, right? I firmly believe that God is with Each and Every person, always, always helping guide them and save them from harm. 

Yes, God is with Christians and those of Faith, but I also believe he sends help and Love to those who don’t outright believe. God withholds Love from no one, and he came for EVERYONE. No amount of differences can change that.

One thing that I’ve always Loved/found awe and delight in, is that throughout my Life some of the times I’ve felt closest to God or felt Him reassuring/helping me are times when I’m reading or watching something that seems to have nothing outright to do with Faith or God. 

I can’t tell you how many times I was watching a show or reading manga when I all of a sudden burst into tears and something clicked/made sense and I was relieved of some pain or anxiety or fear.

The Lord is close, and he comes in Different ways. Just as diverse as there are people, there are infinite ways God comes and shows Himself and Encourages us.

And I think that is Absolutely Beautiful /u\

Earlier I was Overjoyed to learn/see that, honestly, every hardship and pain in my life has helped make me a better person, the kind of person that I want to be, the kind of person that helps others. 

Lol! Not saying that I’m perfect (I most certainly am not, Lol,) but. . . I’m just so happy that the sad things in life make me want to help others, make it so I can better understand everyone around me and at least a little of the different things different people go through.

I am Happy and Proud and Eternally Grateful Beyond Anything. . . I Love God, I Love you all, and to Everyone I wish Love and the Best /u\

~Also! As a side thing there’s another line in this psalm “Seek peace and pursue it.” (15b) that strikes me. It makes me think. . . Peace isn’t just the absence of hatred and conflict. It’s not just standing there awkwardly and living life separately. 

It’s Active. It’s going out of your way to reach out to someone, it’s going out of your way to Say things that need to be said, It’s putting aside one’s self/one’s fears to actively Understand and Love one another. Peace is Active. It Has to be. And Honestly I think that’s Amazing /u\

“If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.” - Matthew 7:11

I’ve always liked this one because it’s a reminder that God isn’t just going toss random things at you and that Good things are coming.

If we, who aren’t perfect (I know I’m definitely not), can give good things to our children who we love, then how much more will God, who IS perfect, give good things to His children who we Definitely know He Loves.

A lot of my past quotes I feel related some way in us never being alone/facing life by ourselves. This one is no different. 

He gives us blessings everyday (a countless amount of things such as waking up in the morning and things we enjoy throughout the day), He gives us each other, He gave us Himself. . . He has not forgotten, and we are certainly Loved! XD

~Also Note!  At times some things don’t seem like blessings at all, but - just like with parents who give their children curfews or make sure their kids eat healthy - I believe that alot of the time these are things that can be used to grow and learn.

This quote is preceded by; “Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish?” It shows that, like a good parent, God isn’t going to just throw harmful or useless things at you. 

It may not always be how you expect, maybe not always when you want it, but rest assured; God is with us, He knows what we need, and it will be Ok X3

“Come to me, all who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” - Matthew 11:28-30

This week’s quote is easy, and the little writing will be short /u\

Honestly, it seems the whole point of just about Everything in the New Testament is Love.

Instead of heavy burdens and multiple sacrifices/rules, we are instead mainly called to Love God above all things and our neighbor as ourselves. I mean, one of the main and most central things we’re called to do is Love Each Other! That’s Amazing, Lol! XD

It’s something that really hit me the other day, and I have taken alot of comfort and peace in that fact and I have been trying my best to Live it 100% /u\

Sometimes it might be hard - when it seems we are alone or ridiculed, when everything just seems to be going wrong, when we ourselves feel apathetic and bereft - but remaining in Love with God and with one another even when it’s challenging, in my experience, will always prove to be the better/more joyful/rewarding path /u\

[11heartonfire11-blog]

“How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.” - Mathew 7:14

I remember this line from a series I’ve read where two characters were discussing how another character would react to a tragic event that had happened, and one said “Most people tend to go the easiest route.” I was sitting there and it struck me how true that was.

Sometimes the easiest thing to do is worry. Or explode at someone. Or hang on to feelings of unfairness, to backlash at everyone around us, give in, give up, despair, hate. 

These things tend to come quicker and feel more self-satisfying at the time. Often one even feels justified.  (Although in my experience there is always that feeling of wrongness that hangs somewhere close by~.) 

In the story I had read, the ‘easiest route’ the character took was staying home and doing nothing but mourn over what had happened. And although the thing that happened was sad, sitting around and ruminating in sadness and despair wasn’t going to help himself or anyone. 

Getting up, picking up the pieces, forgiving, reaching out, moving forward, making progress even if the path isn’t clear, Loving.

Although sometimes these can be easy they are often hard when we’re faced with an alternate ‘easier’ route, especially when that other route feels justified.

But Mercy, Love, that is what God wants for us/for us to do. Because, as stated above, that is the path that ‘leads to life’. 

How many times have we done reacted some way in the heat of the moment and have regretted it ever since? How many times have all sorts of relationships been strained or even broken because of angry moments or mounting negative feelings? How many conflicts have risen from distrust and hatred?

I don’t think Jesus was being constricting when he said this; I think He Knows that Love and Acceptance are the ways to True Freedom, Happiness and Harmony with one another. He acknowledges it is hard, yes, but remember!! “All Things are Possible with God!” XD

I even have a fresh example!; Tonight I was very tired and, although I had the time, I wasn’t sure if I should/was going to post one of these. I didn’t have a clue what to write about and it would have been pretty easy to continue scrolling through tumblr til the wee hours of the morning or just go to bed. But! Instead! (Thank God! ;D;/ ~ <3 XD) I decided to have Faith and Trust that I would find something.

I put aside the other tabs, pulled this open, and went searching for something to write about. I thought and looked around for a bit, then I turned and saw this line and it was like, ‘That’s It! :D’ XD So no worries! *Even if things are a little harder to do, it can be so worth it! XD*

Going to bed + having fun on tumblr aren’t necessarily bad things, of course! But *I had an obligation to fill!!* 

I had a thing to do! XD 

A thing I’m doing because I Love God and am very Thankful, and because this is something that I want to Share with everyone /u\ Sometimes taking a break is good, but in this case I think just shrugging it off wouldn’t have been right X3 

If I hadn’t taken the chance I might not have written this! 

*Lol! No worries ;3 X3*

~ On a Side Note! I have a pretty big tendency to worry, and with the last line “And those who find it are few.” it might be understandable if that would spark some anxiety with me. . . but actually, it doesn’t! :D 

I remember the line that I mentioned earlier; “Everything is Possible with God”, so instead of freaking out like “Ahh~~ am I one of the few!? Am I gonna do it ok!??!” I go like “It’s all good, cause even if it’s a hard thing/the gate is narrow, all things are possible with God so I have nothing to worry about XD”

“Rejoice Always. Pray without ceasing. In Everything give thanks, for this is the will of God for you.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 

I like this one alot because it’s a reminder that Faith isn’t supposed to be about depression and regret all the time. 

Often times I tend to forget this message. I wallow in self pity (or disgust) despite knowing even by experience that it only brings myself down. Then I forget to think about God and I forget to consider others, and there’s just me and my bitterness and everyone around me (including myself) feels the effects of it.

“Rejoice Always” - This isn’t necessarily just slapping a smile on your face. I believe it is also a reminder that, yes, there are things to rejoice about. Lol, salvation, for one! Despite what ever might be going on, that can’t be taken from you. Plus, Lol, God Loves you! *That also can not be taken!* Ever, Lol! XD 

Also things like waking up this morning, things like nature and beauty and things and people you love and just everything that gets forgotten when we focus on our guilt or our pain. 

“Rejoice Always”, as I see it, is a call to remember the good things. 

“Pray without ceasing” is a reminder to call to God - Even and Especially When there we come across things that are hard to deal with (I mentioned last time how God is always with us - He knows, and it will be ok - Be not afraid!) When we forget to call to/talk with Him, we become more easily trapped in our own cycle of dissonance. When we stop and pray and remember God is with us, I believe it helps remind us of those good things and helps break us out of our ruminating.

And “In Everything give thanks, for this is the will of God for you.” - A reminder that sometimes things that seem negative can turn out for the better for you (I can think of many, many occasions where this was true for me X3) Everything is worth giving thanks over, I think. And God wants us to remember these things, to remember Him, to remember that there are good things and that things will be ok. 

No, drowning in guilt and shame and pain is not what Faith is about. It is about God Loving us and us Loving God and sharing that Love with everyone in everything that we do. It is Living in Hope and Love; not beating down others - or ourselves.

~ Also Note! Even though I was aware of this being a thing in the New Testament, I was surprised at how many times I’ve seen in the Old Testament the message “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” How many prophets did God send to give His people this message? Lol, it must be a pretty important if he sent so many prophets to tell everyone this!

God doesn’t want us to wallow in misery and empty ritual. He wants us to remember things will turn out ok and to be happy - And not just a plastered smile(!), But the legitimate happiness that fills one’s soul and spills out in Love for others and ourselves. /u\ XD

“Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs on your head have been counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” - Mathew 10: 29-31

Lol I love this quote to much. No matter what you’re going through, no matter how you think of yourself, remember this quote!

If God knows when a sparrow hits the ground and the number of hairs on everyone’s head (which must be constantly shifting, Lol!) then no doubt He knows you/everything about you/everything you’re going through. 

If a sparrow hits the ground and He knows it *and* you are worth more than multiple sparrows, then no doubt you are worth ALOT!!! (He died for you, ya know *Not at thing to be taken lightly, Lol! XD* He must Love you alot ;3 Lol! XD)

Remember; You are not alone, not ever. Not even for one second, not even for the time it takes for a sparrow to hit the ground, was He not there/not Loving you. It’ll be ok /u\ ~ <3

~ Also Note! There’s no “Unless you are so and so~” or “Only if you do this and this~” Do not be afraid! God Loves you, He Loves you as you are, and no matter what happens or who or how you think you are, He Always Will XD /u\ ~ <3
