Non ho neanche più lacrime da versare, solamente tanta rabbia, fino a quando dovremo sopportare tutto ciò?

[bellamonarca]

Que el Dios de la esperanza los llene de toda alegría y paz a ustedes que creen en él, para que rebosen de esperanza por el poder del Espíritu Santo.

Romanos 15:13

[eusouevangelica-eusouevangelico]

A Bíblia e o Suicídio

O suicídio não é um tema recente para a sociedade, atualmente a cada 45 minutos, uma pessoa se mata no Brasil e outras 20 tentam se matar. Em média 1 milhão de pessoas cometem tal ato todos os anos pelo mundo, sendo a quarta maior causa de mortes de jovens de 15 a 29 anos de idade (OMS, 2019). Por que tantas pessoas buscam a própria morte? Há inúmeros motivos e contextos que respondem esta pergunta, no entanto, ouso resumir em uma resposta: desesperança, Seja na vida, em Deus, na sociedade, no relacionamento, em si mesmo ou em qualquer outra circunstância.

Sem esperança, a pessoa não tem mais sentido para viver e não tem o que esperar, gerando, então, o desespero e a depressão.

A raça humana foi criada para adorar a Deus e quando este propósito não é seguido, o verdadeiro sentido da vida se perde. O suicídio é abordado nas Escrituras por meio de algumas pessoas que o cometeram como o rei Saul, Aitofel, Judas Iscariotes, entre outros. A Bíblia contextualiza os fatos e o porquê da decisão de cada um para servir de alerta a nós, que cremos.

Retirar a própria vida é a provação para saber se você ama a Vida em você, a Vida que é Jesus. Quando se pede mais fé; essa é a luta para prová-la; quando ora por perseverança, aonde você está é para provar sua consistência. Obter a própria morte não é o final para os problemas de ninguém, mas o início de uma eternidade longe da paz de Deus. A mentira da crença que o suicídio é a solução para os desafios desta vida é produzida pelo inimigo de nossas almas, pois todo aquele que diz que a solução não é Cristo, é do maligno.

A esperança é encontrada pela fé nas palavras e na vida de Jesus, quando Ele diz que NEle temos paz e por Ele temos uma alegria que o mundo não pode tirar, a alegria da salvação (Jo 16:22). Somente Cristo tem o poder para combater o desespero e a desesperança. Jesus é a resposta que procuramos para combater o suicídio. Há esperança porque Ele está vivo.

Por isso compartilharemos o estudo ‘A Bíblia e o Suicídio’ com as reflexões acerca de cada suicida descrito nas Escrituras. O intuito é mostrar que a Palavra de Deus é a fonte de solução para qualquer dilema que um ser humano pode ter nesta vida, visto que ela aponta para o Caminho da Vida. Por meio de cada relato desejamos apresentar que o suicídio não é a decisão certa a tomar e que nas Escrituras há resposta para qualquer situação. "Que o Deus da esperança os encha de toda alegria e paz, por sua confiança NEle, para que vocês transbordem de esperança, pelo poder do Espírito Santo." - Romanos 15:13

BELLOS MOMENTOS:

Aquellos a quienes nunca les fue anunciado acerca de él, verán; y los que nunca han oído de él, entenderán...

(Romanos 15:21)...

fuente...

Muchas veces, cuando leemos sobre el hijo pródigo, nuestra atención se centra en el amor asombroso de Dios, demostrado por el padre en la parábola. Pero hoy quiero que pensemos en nuestra responsabilidad de amar a otros. No importa lo difícil de la situación, Dios ha dado a los creyentes en Cristo la capacidad de responder con el mismo amor...

Libere...

A pesar de que tenía todo el derecho a rechazar la necia petición de su segundo hijo, este padre comprendió que el joven ya había abandonado su hogar en su corazón...

Puede haber momentos en nuestras vidas cuando lo más amoroso que podemos hacer es también lo más difícil: dar un paso atrás y dejar que un ser querido siga su propio camino...

Si te resistes y tratas de controlar la situación, en realidad puedes estar interfiriendo con el plan de Dios...

Espere...

Una vez que hayamos liberado, tenemos entonces que esperar con paciencia que el Señor haga su obra en la vida de esa persona.

¿Nota que el padre no fue a buscar a su hijo?

Aunque sabía que esa necia decisión causaría problemas y dolor a su hijo, eligió confiar en Dios en vez de tratar de arreglar la situación y proteger a su hijo de las consecuencias de su imprudente decisión...

La única forma para poder responder así, es tener confianza en los planes del Señor para su ser querido...

Dios ama a esa persona más de lo que tu y yo podemos comprender, y sabe cuál es la mejor manera de llegar a un corazón reacio...

Nuestra tarea es velar y orar hasta que Dios haga entrar en razón al pródigo...

Gracias por leer, comentar y compartir la palabra de Dios...

El Señor no retarda su promesa, según algunos la tienen por tardanza, sino que es paciente para con nosotros, no queriendo que ninguno perezca, sino que todos procedan al arrepentimiento...

(2 Pedro 3:9)...

Y esto, conociendo el tiempo, que es ya hora de levantarnos del sueño; porque ahora está más cerca de nosotros nuestra salvación que cuando creímos...

La noche está avanzada, y se acerca el día. Desechemos, pues, las obras de las tinieblas, y vistámonos las armas de la luz. Andemos como de día,

honestamente; no en glotonerías y borracheras, no en lujurias y lascivias, no en contiendas y envidia...

(Romanos 13:11‭-‬13)...Amén... DTBM.!! 🙌🦋🌼🍃

Infection AU: Familial/Marital Relationships

Here is another update/info dump for this AU.

Like most AUs there are some changes regarding the characters. In this case the relationships between everyone, both Familial and Romantic.

I’m also going to be changing the names of the characters to match this (Mainly surnames, but a few might have different names altogether).

I would like feedback on this so I can make the appropriate changes before they are released as a final draft.

Now let’s start with the Familial Relationships, quick explanation first:

When I say that they are blood related, I mean that they share both parents.

When I say half related, I mean that they share 1 parent.

When I say that they are step related, I mean that they share neither parent.

Familial Relationships

1. England, Scotland, & Wales are blood related siblings, while Ireland & Northern Ireland are half related siblings (They share the same mother), Oldest to Youngest: Scotland, England, Ireland & Northern Ireland, Wales).

2. Sealand is the youngest brother of England, but was given up for adoption when he was an infant.

3. France & Monaco are blood related siblings (France is older).

4. America & Canada are blood related twins (Canada is older). They are the sons of France & an unnamed woman. France & the woman got divorced, with France taking Canada & the woman taking America. Afterwards, the woman got remarried to England who then adopted America after the woman passed from a terminal illness.

5. Molossia is the son of America & another unnamed woman.

6. Seychelles was adopted by France after the divorce (Seychelles is younger than America & Canada).

7. Australia & New Zealand are blood related siblings (Australia is older). They are the sons of England & another unnamed woman who then disappeared (Australia is a bit younger than America & Canada, while New Zealand is younger than all 3, but is older than Seychelles).

8. Hutt River & Wy are the children of Australia & another unnamed woman (Hutt River is older).

9. Ukraine & Russia are blood related siblings, while Belarus is a half related sibling (they share the same mother), (Oldest to Youngest: Ukraine, Russia, Belarus).

10. Czechia & Slovakia are step related twins, (Czechia is older).

11. Germany & Prussia are blooded related, while Worzsovia is a half related sibling (they share the same father), & Austria is adopted (Oldest to Youngest: Worzsovia, Prussia, Austria, Germany).

12. Mednigrad & Neu Fritz are half related siblings (they share the same father). Mednigrad is the son of Worzsovia & Belarus.

13. Austria & Hungary are married & Kugelmugel is their son.

14. Romania, & Moldova are blood related siblings, while Hungary is a half related sibling (They share the same father), (Oldest to Youngest: Hungary, Romania, Moldova).

15. Switzerland & Liechtenstein are half related siblings (they share the same father), (Switzerland is older).

16. Netherlands, Belgium, & Luxembourg are blood related siblings (Oldest to Youngest: Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg).

17. Italy, Romano & Seborga are blood related siblings (Oldest to Youngest: Romano, Italy, Seborga).

18. Spain & Portugal are blood related twins (Portugal is older).

19. Sweden, Denmark, & Herkalden are blood related siblings (Oldest to Youngest: Denmark, Sweden, Herkalden).

20. Norway & Iceland are half related siblings (they share the same mother), (Norway is older).

21. Ladonia is the son of Sweden & another unnamed woman. After they have broken up, Sweden started dating Finland & adopted Sealand (Ladonia is older than Sealand).

22. Finland & Estonia are half related siblings (Estonia is older), (they share the same mother).

23. Macao, Taiwan & Hong Kong are the children of China & another unnamed woman, while South Korea is a half related sibling to the 3 (they share the same father), (Oldest to Youngest: Macau, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong).

24. China, India, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia & Singapore are half related siblings (they share the same father), (Oldest to Youngest: China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam).

25. Greece & Cyprus are half related siblings (they share the same mother), (Greece is older).

26. TRNC is the son of Cyprus & another unnamed woman. After she died from childbirth, Cyprus began dating Turkey who then adopted TRNC.

Romantic/Marital Relationships

1. France & England are in a co-parenting relationship, but are considering to date.

2. Germany & Italy are fiancés.

3. Prussia & Romano are testing the waters.

4. Worzsovia & Belarus are in a co-parenting relationship.

5. Austria & Hungary are married.

6. Bulgaria & Romania are dating.

7. Sweden & Finland are married.

8. Denmark & Norway are “complicated”.

9. Herkalden & Canada are testing the waters.

10. Turkey & Cyprus are dating with marriage in mind.

11. Poland & Lithuania have feelings for each other, but neither has confessed.

Please give me feedback on these ideas so that I can make corrections if needed. Thank You!

20 questions for writers

tagged by @pia-writes-things - thank you! :D

(under the cut to save your dash)

How many works do you have on AO3?

64 at the moment!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

145,151 in eleven years... same as with drawing I don't post 90% of what I do lol whoops

3. What fandoms do you write for?

currently TES has been getting the gears going the most, but ER is my perennial love - and once in a blue moon I am compelled to do something TLU! SM is still very dear to my heart but I've been pretty dry on fic inspiration/drive for it for a while now :(

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

these are ALL OLDER PIECES haha so don't look too closely: it still burns - fluffy OPM piece for Knight c: what else can I say! too cold for you here and now - fluffy little Makoami piece (are you sensing a pattern already...) featuring terrible puns, because I have always loved characters trying to make each other laugh you do it for her (that is to say you do it for him) - another one written for Knight; OPM/SM crossover. with TWO chapters! left, left, left right left - introspective Romano piece re: arm. I actually now disagree with some character choices I made in this one so seeing it still getting attention has me like no... this doesn't represent me... Across the Western Ocean I Must Wander - Makoami pirate AU. also not a oneshot! (shock!) I don't think it holds up as well as I'd like, but the premise still compels me and there's some cute moments :'D still VIVIDLY remember being up late on a class night listening to one song on repeat while working on The Kissing Scene™

5. Do you respond to comments?

almost always! it may take me a bit sometimes, but I do try to make sure I do

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

frankly idek - being completely honest, "angst" just as a word at this point turns me off so immediately and so hard that I can't engage with the concept that way. I prefer endings with some hope, but I like some emotional complexity too! all my baggage about fandom and "angst" is for. ANOTHER TIME

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

again I'm not totally sure how to answer this one! I guess Ocean? doesn't get much more stereotypically happily-ever-after than "and then they ran away together the end"

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no, thankfully! I've gotten the occasional comment here and there that make me go "??" but more just sort of confusing, not malicious as far as I can tell lol

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

sdlkghlsj sex-repulsed asexual here and not for the first time I say: I am reasonably confident nobody wants me doing that. it can happen but offscreen to spare me the inevitable mortification... fade-to-black is about as far as we go in the House Of Mouse sorry!!

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I have before! it's not my preferred stomping grounds but I like a good one. I don't know about "craziest" but wouldn't do us any harm I think is probably the funniest of the handful I've shared (again: written primarily for Knight! warning that it is from 2016 LOL)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not to my knowledge!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

also not to my knowledge!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

yes! baby Mouse ran a fic awards "show" (in the written medium obviously) with a friend back in like 2010 or 2011 on FFN... it was loads of fun!

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

just one?? if I have to choose then: Lizzie & the Bald Boys... my little driftwood raft that I've finally convinced a handful of other people aboard c':

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Makoami Princess and the Goblin AU :( still means a lot to me but SM just hasn't been where I've been drawn to write for a while!

16. What are your writing strengths?

dialogue + characterization is most often what I get compliments on (<3) - I'd like to think I have a fairly decent hand for little meaningful details too, but I think these more often than not end up just being for my own benefit because I like my symbolism subtle aha

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

LONGFORM... plugging together things into ordered chapters and maintaining momentum over longer spaces is my greatest struggle. I've had to come to terms with the fact that I'm much more a sprinter than a marathon runner, and it's been very freeing letting myself step outside of needing all the surrounding context to just do things as I come to them and then getting to string it all into chronology via series ordering

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

done well I find it really impressive! it's very hard to do well though ahaha.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

without the context of "fandom", the first story I ever wrote was about the Boxcar Children hanging out with me at age 6 (the entirety of chapter three was all of us singing the alphabet together and it was narratively crucial that this happen. for some reason.). with the context of knowing about fandom though, Scooby Doo at 11-12!

20. Favorite fic you've written?

of what's posted: Ocean has a lot of personal meaning because it was the first multichapter piece I was able to finish in several years, but on a technical level I've been really proud of some of the more layered pieces I've been practicing in the last year or so: Thermal Equilibrium and skipping stones I think are good examples of that :')

tagging: @knightnightwrite (I AM GOING TO GET YOU TO DO ONE OF THESE SOMEDAY <3 <3 <3), @wispstalk, @ehlnofay, @wonderofasunrise, and anyone else who wants to do it!! as always no obligation if you've been tagged and don't want to! except for Knight. beloved I am knocking on your door come PLAY WITH ME

💡Alegrando-se no Senhor mesmo nas dificuldades

📖Alegrem-se sempre no Senhor. Novamente direi: Alegrem-se! [Filipenses 4:4]

O versículo Filipenses 4:4 nos lembra da importância de encontrar a alegria em Deus, independentemente das circunstâncias que possamos enfrentar. Paulo nos encoraja a nos regozijarmos sempre no Senhor. Isso vai além da felicidade passageira baseada em situações externas, alcançando uma alegria profunda e duradoura que tem sua raiz na nossa relação com Deus.

Ao nos exortar a regozijar-nos sempre, Paulo destaca a natureza constante da alegria que encontramos em Deus. Não é algo condicional, mas algo que podemos experimentar independentemente das lutas, desafios ou incertezas que enfrentamos na vida. Essa alegria não é limitada pelas circunstâncias, porque está fundamentada na presença e no amor de Deus.

Ao direcionar a nossa regojizo para o Senhor, somos convidados a reconhecer que Ele é a fonte do nossa alegria. Quando fixamos nossos olhos em Deus e cultivamos um relacionamento profundo com Ele, descobrimos uma alegria que transcende as situações temporais.

Assim, mesmo em meio às dificuldades, podemos encontrar uma alegria duradoura ao nos conectarmos com Deus e nos alegrarmos na Sua presença constante em nossas vidas.

📖Que o Deus da esperança os encha de toda alegria e paz, por sua confiança nele, para que vocês transbordem de esperança, pelo poder do Espírito Santo. [Romanos 15:13]

▪️Encontrar alegria em Deus significa apreciar Seu amor incondicional. Ele nos ama independentemente de nossas falhas, oferecendo consolo e segurança emocional.

▪️A alegria em Deus surge da confiança em Sua orientação durante tempos difíceis. Ele é nosso refúgio, fortalecendo-nos para enfrentar desafios com esperança e coragem.

▪️Descobrimos alegria ao reconhecermos que Deus nos criou com propósito. Servir a Ele e aos outros dá significado à vida, preenchendo-nos com uma alegria profunda e duradoura.

Para Orar: 🙏

Senhor, agradeço pelo Teu amor incondicional, fonte de alegria. Guia-me nas adversidades, sê meu refúgio. Revela Teu propósito em minha vida, para que, ao Te servir e aos outros, eu encontre uma alegria profunda e duradoura. Amém.
