your blog actually makes me reflect and want to do better but its a lot easier said than done.. i want to know what have you given up to follow the right path to go on? do you miss how things were before??
these are such good questions and i’m so glad im having a positive effect!! thank you <3 it 100% is a lot easier said than done. for me its been a journey of seeking Jesus through completely honest prayer, getting to know the Bible, asking a lot of questions to pastors online.
what i’ve given up has come from what the Bible describes as sin. so, drinking, partying, fornicating (having sex before marriage), lusting (watching porn, having lustful thoughts/daydreaming, masturbating), sexual immorality (BDSM, kink, etc), drugs, the occult (astrology, witchcraft, manifestation, divination, crystals, yoga, etc), wrath (yelling at people when upset), cursing, stealing, dressing immodestly, and lying.
and all of these things i’m not avoiding to try to achieve perfection. it will never happen. all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. we are imperfect creatures. I’m avoiding these things because I want to be close to God. I don’t want to sin against him. of course He is forgiving and forgives us when we repent, even when we’re really repetitively struggling with the same sin. but if i am strong enough and i can make the choice, i will always choose not to sin. and if i’m weak in that moment, i repent, which means i cut off all the things (apps, websites, etc) that tempt me to that sin again.
and do i miss how things were before… no, because they all led to destruction for me. ignorance might be bliss but it ultimately led me to destruction. sin destroyed my life. i’m rebuilding through Christ. sin leads to death. Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. following Him leads to life. it’s not easy, and we won’t be perfect at it, which is fine, He doesn’t expect us to be.
these are also so much easier to avoid when you have the Holy Spirit. when you pray ask for the Holy Spirit. ask to be given life and reborn with Christ. pray for help with prayer and help in this journey. it can take a long time to overcome these sins so be patient with yourself.
i hope this helps! there are a lot of Bible verses used here. let me know if you’d want the specific Bible verses - i didnt want to make this too long :) <3 im here if you have any more questions or need support

There is gonna be more than that coming from the poll, but whatever it is vote Kacchan/Deku for best hero. Idc who wins i just need them to be together again
if they just announced it today without saying anything before, I would probably immediately do it.
Right now im just bitter because of the hype -I thought it would at least slightly relate to the actual story (adaptations of other stories, extra content for the volume which once again may I remind everyone is extremely short, almost half what a manga volume usually looks which is a huge problem).
This disappointed me extremely, as its not even related to any content from the manga beyond the characters it uses. I get that many ppl will work on this, and that artist will get excited over being able to get the spotlight, some will be able to ask specific questions, and a character will get a statue and a movie.
Still extremely disappointed because of the "special project will be announced on the 5th *wink wink*".
I can't feel excitement over it as, in my mind, I lost something that felt better -more content related to the story. So at best this would be "oh cool I can try it", a feeling pretty similar to the other announcements -not my favorite thing in the world, but I wont reject it and try to see what comes out of it.
This isnt at best to me right now

how was playing hsr? was there anything that you liked in the game and the story?
ITS BEEN AMAZING AS EXPECTED!!!!!!!!! i actually havent played genshin in a while since starting it, i have no motivation to do the filler event while a perfectly good star rail is sitting there waiting to be played :')
but for mechanics, i love they have auto battle so you dont have to nessecarily sit there and invest in every little battle you gotta do....and i love that the resin (resin??) system is a lot more forgiving with a higher cap, lower cost, and allow for overflow...thats nice...i also love that the mc and starter units are very useful. im so emotionally attatched to the star rail crew so im glad they never have to leave my team !!!!
storywise im LOVING IT SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i started playing it at the beginning of spring break 2 weeks ago and im almost all caught up!!! i went through belabog and penacony and now im just doing those leftover intermission main quests which im only now realizing i shouldve done before going to penacony LMAO
and of course.....danmarch....im so soft for them......and also i love sampo i cant wait to see what they do with him
