A Prayer for Strength
Last week I shared some scriptures about the Lord is my strength. This week I’d like to share a prayer for strength. When we need strength or need strength renewed, we need to look to the Lord. Prayer is extremely powerful and produces results (James 5:16)! This prayer based on scriptures (listed below) will help us to rely on the Lord’s support and remind us that God will…
Have you ever woken up in the morning and didn’t feel the strength to get out of bed? I have. What do you do in that scenario? I depend on The Lord. The Lord is my strength and the one I can depend on day and night. Continue to read as I share about how The Lord is my strength.

Um actually I have something more to say about Kabru and Mithrun’s similarities and relationship.
I think a lot abt how it’s shown a few times how elven culture relies heavily on non-natural ways of doing things, and it’s interesting especially how like our main cast repeats multiple times the three steps to living a long and healthy life. Meanwhile the canaries, the elves, don’t necessarily recognize that stuff as important as it is. I think specifically of the example of Mithrun explaining to Kabru that he has to have medication or a spell otherwise he can’t sleep, to which Kabru tucks him in and gives him a massage which knocks him out cold. His dependency on other methods to fight off insomnia were kinda just in his head, he hadn’t tried anything else. I mean prior to joining the canaries he was fully restrained 90% of the time so ofc a servant would just come in and place a spell for him to sleep every night. And he was like that for years. And then Cithis just replaced all his caretaker servants, then it became her job to make sure he took a pill or listened to her bells every night. I think there’s something there about how there’s a list of stuff Mithrun wasn’t allowed to be around and when he gets separated from the canaries he encounters all of that since Kabru doesn’t know to “protect” Mithrun or restrain him so severely. And it’s interesting because Mithrun doesn’t even seem to have issues with the things, like ofc top on the list was he wasn’t supposed to see goats or sheep. One of the first things he and Kabru eat is barometz. Its something to me that Kabru, who has also suffered so much, takes Mithrun into this dungeon and he has to face head on what’s been bothering him, he has to look his trauma in the eyes. And eat it. He cannot move on until he sees it, understands it, and finally starts talking about himself (“the last desire I had left wasn’t revenge, I wanted the demon to finish me off” “I was scraps left on the plate […] I guess vegetable scraps have their uses too”)
It just seems to me like a more vague and overarching way we see the elven cultural mindset hold him back from properly healing, I don’t think Kabru knew what he was doing at all but the fact of the matter is no one was filtering Mithrun’s view of the world anymore. And while Mithrun believed that didn’t matter to him, nothing mattered, it still made a difference. He was still on the path to moving on, and properly healing, even though he didn’t quite recognize that.
Sorry to be so blunt, but I gotta put this out there. Tim sleeping with the therapist is no different than the Chris is a Rosalind acolyte theory. Makes for a decent fanfic, but doesn't track logically. So let's say Blair is part of the whole big bad plot (I'm still not discounting that theory.) From her perspective Aaron is the far easier target if she's trying to find out things about the team through pillow talk. And Tim, the man who is needing therapy because of the problems caused by his extreme views on honor and duty, sleeping with his therapist? Seriously? We gonna go down that road? (Lord give me strength) Tim would rather sleep with Angela. And I keep seeing posts about her taking him into her office and shutting the door. And? Do you think they would have a therapy session in the waiting room? Of course she would take him into her office. It's no different than me taking someone into my office at work when we are talking about their health insurance policy. That way nobody hears anybody else's business. And Tim looked like he was going to break down at any moment through the whole episode. Of course she's going to ask if he needs to talk right then and there. And lastly, do you really think the captain of our ship, who reportedly pushed for this storyline, would be excited to go down this path? Eric would never. Please, I beg you guys, don't go down this path. While The Rookie can be completely illogical at times, it's not General Hospital. Stuff like this is really pushing it.
Scriptures About the Lord is My Strength
“He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:29-31 (NLT)
There are times in every…
CHOCCY, I'M STILL NOT OVER THAT MODERN AU OF CLORA BEING A BIG SHERLOCK FANS. THAT ART TOOK ME DOWN THE MEMORY LANE BECAUSE I WAS OBSESSED WITH IT DURING MY MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS. I was left home alone often and would play Sherlock in the background so I won't feel lonely lmao and I can just imagine Clora doing the same thing. She'd watch Sherlock so often that she memorised the dialogues and ofc got Seb into it too because he'd come over almost everyday. I can just imagine Seb quoting something from Sherlock word-to-word and Clora was all like "YOU REMEMBER?!" thinking that he'd watch Sherlock on his own too. I mean, he does to understand Clora's interest in Sherlock but how can he not memorise the dialogues when Clora watches it everytime he's at her house?!!?! ALSO, CAN YOU IMAGINE SEB FINDING OUT CLORA'S THE AUTHOR OF A SHERLOCK FANFIC AND SHE'D TALK ABOUT THE STORYLINES AND CASES SHE PLANNED FOR THE FANFICS AND THEY END UP BRAINSTORMING TOGETHER?! CHOCCY, YOU'VE UNLEASHED A MONSTER RESIDING WITHIN ME. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! Anyway, have a good day :>
