[neice1176]

Good morning🙋🏻‍♀️

Please keep me in prayer for my surgery we got scheduled for the 1st also please keep us in prayer that we can get everything done on the house and Christmas decorations put up before my surgery 🙏

I pray everything is going well for you all. If you ever have a specific prayer request don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🫂 I always try to catch posts for prayer but I know I miss a lot sometimes. I think praying for each other is a very important part of ministry. We need to support each other and prayer is a blessing we all are able to give ❤️ I love you all, God bless you 💜✝️🛐🤲🕊

Storms

The one thing that one can depend on during the summer…storms. The one thing more difficult to predict is their intensity once they arrive. I sat here last night mindlessly scrolling social media and half listening to the television while I also listened to distant thunder. After listening for a while and realizing that what I was hearing was a slow moving storm, I gave the dogs calming chews…

Some people say they are one in a million but I can give you proof that I am. More accurately, I am 3 in a million.

Unfortunately my rarity isn’t due to anything I’ve accomplished or a general synopsis of how awesome I am. It’s due to an autoimmune disease.

This month is Autoimmune Disease Awareness month, which I wasn’t aware of until I was scrolling through Facebook and read that it was. However, that wasn’t what prompted me to share this with you. It’s what I read after that.

“Autoimmune diseases are not curable.”

What? Excuse me? How am I a grown woman just now finding out that autoimmune diseases aren’t curable?

I had an autoimmune disease. “Had” being the operative word.

In the summer of 1999, I was officially diagnosed with Juvenile dermatomyositis, the medical definition of which seems extremely bleak. “Juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) is an idiopathic diffuse vasculopathy of the skin and muscles, characterized by proximal muscle weakness and typical rash. The inflammatory process primarily affects muscle and skin, but it can also involve numerous other organ systems, with significant mortality from cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal sequelae of the disease.” The medical conclusion of which is, “Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are serious diseases with a disease-related mortality of at least 10%. In the long term, myositis has a major effect on perceived disability and quality of life, despite the regained muscle strength.” At the point of my diagnosis, I was considered chronic.

When I began recalling this diagnosis, memories from that time came rushing back. I remember my family being absolutely devastated and relieved at the same time because my mysterious illness finally had a name and a treatment plan. I remember my mom constantly pouring her heart out in prayer for healing. I remember the hospital visits, therapy sessions, and massive weight gain from the aggressive steroid treatments. I remember facing a depression that I didn’t understand. I remember being prayed over and anointed with oil by the elders of our church. And I remember the day I was healed.

God healed me from that autoimmune disease.

Through the hands of doctors, treatments, and loving support, God allowed my autoimmune disease to be cured. But wait, autoimmune diseases can’t be cured!

Even some medical definitions of this specific disease says it is not curable. Labels like “long term remission” and “periods of remission” are used, but the definition of a “cure” fits my situation the best. “To heal or restore health; a treatment to restore health” sounds a lot like what I’ve experienced. I suppose time will tell, but if there’s one thing I can stand by, it’s that miracles do happen.

What I have experienced about God is that everything He does aligns with His purpose and timing and points us to His glory.

My healing has absolutely been for His glory. My suffering has been for His glory.

Without God and my relationship with Jesus, depression would have swallowed me. This world would have crushed what little strength I had left. Through this journey, I’ve been able to claim more boldly that God is good and victorious… just look at what He’s done!

My healing could have happened a lot sooner. My miracle wasn’t instantaneous. It took more than one heartfelt prayer, one moment of faith, one prayer meeting, one visit to one doctor, and more than one round of treatment. Can God heal in one moment? Absolutely! In my case though, there was a waiting period. There were years of waiting.

But when God was choosing not to strengthen my body, He was working on strengthening my spirit.

In that waiting I learned to lean into Him. I learned not to seek healing but to seek His presence. There is purpose in the waiting. There is strength in surrender, and there is power in prayer. Oh, and miracles do happen. I’m one in a million who can attest to that.

Escaped clone au

You know all those fics where Danny and Damian are twins but everyone first assumes Danny must be a clone? How about an au where Danny is Damian's clone who escaped the League after he was assumed dead. Damian could even have been the one to have "killed" him, back when Danny was a newly created, fully brainwashed clone minion and trying to kill Damian himself.

Danny gets adopted by the Fentons and canon goes on as normal, until Dan. Witnessing what would happen to the world should he turn evil really drove home to Danny how dangerous he is.

Even if he was confident he could be trusted with his absurd amount of power (which he isn't), what if the League of Assassins found out about him? Does he still have programming triggers from his evil assassin clone conditioning?

So, Danny does the responsible thing: he goes to Batman to turn himself in.

Cue Danny showing up on Bruce's doorstep with ghost hunting equipment, intel on the afterlife, and an almost unbelievable backstory. Somehow he still managed to be more well-adjusted than Damian.

More thoughts under the read more

Here's how I'm thinking Danny leaving the League went down:

After surviving his wounds but failing his mission, Danny (then an unnamed potential Damian replacement) knew there was no point in returning to the League. As a failure, he was meant to be disposed of. He even thought of simply allowing himself to perish, since that was what the League would do.

But he couldn't help but feel as though that would be a waste of a resource. Surely he could be of more use to the League alive than dead?

That tiny bit of rebellious logic is what caused Danny to go into hiding, only living on based on the off chance he would find opportunities to further the League's goals. Obviously, that mentality didn't last long after being exposed to the real world and meeting one Jazz Fenton.

Being adopted by the Fentons was the best cover Danny could have asked for, since any odd behavior he couldn't hide while he was learning how to be "normal" was totally overshadowed by the sheer bizarre eccentricity of his new parents. He was still the neighborhood weird kid, but even that was a major upgrade from disposable tool, so Danny considered it a win.

Anyway, if anyone likes this idea, please feel free to have at it! Interpret it as you please :)

desperately need people to understand that alicent is a victim but she’s also an abuser and a perpetrator

that she actively makes choices to harm other women because of jealousy and envy and the greed deep in her bones because submitting to suffering didn’t get her what those women fight to grasp for themselves.

she is absolutely a victim, in show.

that doesn’t change that she abused rhaenyra and her children, her own son, most likely helaena given how she flinches every time her mother touches her, and is actively weaponizing the patriarchy of westeros against other women- rhaenyra primarily, but also mysaria and dyana.

she isn’t the moral, righteous force of good that even she thinks she is, she’s a wounded woman directing all of the rot, pain, and fury inside her at the wrong people and forces.

Prayer to lord Lucifer for abundance

Oh radiant Lucifer, bearer of enlightenment,

In the depths of your wisdom, I seek abundance,

Grant me the strength to overcome obstacles,

And the clarity to seize opportunities that come my way.

May your fiery essence ignite the flames of prosperity within me,

Illuminate my path with the wealth of knowledge and understanding,

Guide my actions, so they align with the flow of abundance,

And lead me towards success in all endeavors.

As I journey through the realms of existence,

May your divine presence surround me,

Empowering me to manifest my desires,

And to share the blessings of abundance with others.

With reverence and gratitude, I offer this prayer,

To you, Lord Lucifer, embodiment of divine light,

May your blessings rain down upon me,

And may abundance flourish in every aspect of my life. Ave Satanas.
