And She, With Unveiled Face

I miss my grandma’s hugs, her gentle blue eyes, and her soft, dawn-dish-soap hands, this Christmas. I never realized how no one else hugged me the way she did.

"But Jesus, for His part, would not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all people, and because He did not need anyone to testify about mankind, for He Himself knew what was in mankind." (John 2:24–25)

Worry is a rehearsal for a future God did not write for you. Don’t partner with it.

@milagracesmom We used this book to decide what we were going to do with our oldest. I held back on my second kid because she showed signs of eczema which is a skin autoimmune issue warn some vaccines warn against. Each kid is different. 🤍a.co/d/cImMGRJ

The more research I do the more confused I get. Lord give us wisdom. Both sides of the vaccine issue make some good points.

This is the world we live in, where we can see on lives and all over the internet as someone is being decapitated, stabbed, or shot to death. Is it just me or does it feel like evil is being activated in random folks all over the place?

Wrong answers only Who is this?

Patterns speak louder than words.

Speaking with authority and actually having it are two separate things. One can be learned (performance). The other can only be earned (bestowed upon or mantled). Discernment can distinguish the difference. No wonder the enemy’s strategy is to keep discernment infantile.

@MarkGrote Both. He literally gives me scripture and bases what he tells me off of the principle of it. It’s been an amazing and beautiful season for our relationship.

What describes your walk with God? > He speaks to me prophetically. > He speaks to me through the Bible. > He speaks to me using both.

I am reminded why I kinda super hate X since it became “X”. Some person spewing about how people shouldn’t marry interracially and … I literally have to throw up in my mouth a little. It’s always some white fundi nationalist and then they wonder why they can’t find wives.

If you have not truly received mercy but you preach a gospel of grace while you yourself hide what should have been repented of & dealt with in the open, you have absolutely no understanding of your need for mercy to begin with. Isn’t the need for mercy the first salvation step?

If by repentance you mean that you told half truth to a board of elders once, you have not truly repented. If by repentance you mean that you’ve covered everything up so that you can make money off of the books you sell, you have not truly received mercy.

The blood of Jesus will never cover what is meant to be uncovered. Grace is offered after repentance has been received & mercy has been given. But if repentance has not been received & mercy has not been given, you can’t rely on God‘s grace which is his gift of unmerited favor.

@mrsdobbins_ I always say “mommy, mommy, what do you need”. This makes me so sad.

@MikeWingerii A man of no reputation after all

I’m unsure which one is true. “Mike, you’re only covering abuse and frauds because you want to grow your subscribers through it.” Or is it… “Mike, I used to love your content but now I think you’re a Pharisee and have a divisive spirit. I can’t follow your content anymore.”

@lhallwriter @NadineBrandes, Dr. Michael Heiser, and C S Lewis.

Can you name 3 authors who have influenced you?

You know what blows my mind? When someone takes action with faith and a slingshot to take down a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and bystanders lacking a shepherd’s heart criticizes the form and “gentleness” of the one who’s protecting the flock. #churchtoo #MeToo

@JadeEJF Yes, but in reverse… would you take a pig heart if you needed a heart transplant?

@sheunveiledface I don't understand why it wouldn't be. From a Christian perspective, my understanding is that we're supposed to value human life. God made humans, and God made animals. I'm curious to read any no responses! Honestly, would give a kidney to my dog, tbh.

Animal to human transplants: is it ethical as a Christian? Why or why not?

@musings_blonde @LeahDiscovers I’ll follow you on there! :) it’s not so bad. Once your algorithm knows you, it’s fun!

@LeahDiscovers But then I’d have to get a TikTok account lol. I’ll consider it lol

I want to make more money. I don’t want to break the law, invest a lot of capital to start up, or work very hard. Ideas?💰💵🤑
