    What if I have ppl and literally my parents gaslighting me into thinking that I’m sad and that my life isn’t complete just because I don’t have what they think life is for. I’m literally as happy as I’ve ever been in my life, more ever than when I lived with them! So when I think about praying about “others” I only have bad intentions towards them. And I pray for them all the time…it’s just hard to keep trying to send positive to someone when u want to send the opposite…

I'm trying to overcome the temptation to spend too much time on screens and I see that it has taken up a huge place in my heart and I'm trying to put God in that place again, but I always find myself making the same mistake again and sometimes I find myself not having the strength to fight against and I know that this is quite dangerous and I know that the only strength I need is that of Christ and that I am satisfying desires of the flesh not of Christ. Thx.

    I feel like I’m not a Christian at all I don’t claim myself being one because even if I do believe and god knows he’s my savior and read his words pray before I eat I’ve always made mistakes I’ve ignored god before forgetting to pray, not relziing the sins I’ve committed so now I’m asking myself how can i call myself a Christian if I sin everyday? What cause I go to church and pray before I eat or really do I even spend the amount of time with god I need? If I made a accomplishment do you celebrate and call my friends and family the big news or do I say “thank you god for giving me this accomplishment in my life” and come to think of it in the Bible their were very few people being called Christian usually people who’ve followed god always prayed always asked for forgiveness gentle kind loving and even if they do sin they get really scared and realize what there doing is wrong and pray like their life depends on it so really what IS Christian? I feel like Christian is not just someone who believes in god and prays and goes to church but I person that has a lifestyle of Christ who is fearing of god who is always loving and kind repeating everyday praying to god reading his words who doesn’t hate or envy anyone even a person who’s been bad to them these traits I feel like are true Christian’s and what I call myself instead is a disciple because I’m still learning the word of god 6 years old until 7th grade I never wanted to think as myself of Christian because I could never able to have a lifestyle of Jesus who’ve never committed sins always prayed to god with remorse respect and no proud of angry feelings

    3:34 Ok, i saved someone from a train track the other day. Many people seen it...am i right or wrong. I didnt even go the train station, all of my witnesses didnt even exist. This happened in 1995, so...yeah humans can and are capable of lieing, how do you know these people wasnt writing this book in some room? If hundreds of years pass whos to say this didnt happen with no cameras? The bible is a lie, all religion is a lie. You have to be seriously warped to belive it. Religion is powerful the Egyptians probably inspired them, its been passed down generations anyone can say they are speaking to the holy spirit, and anyone can put there stuff into the book and they did. God made the Earth in 7 days, but needed man to write him a book which took hundreds of years...not buying it. So if this is my introduction to God then he should have know to do better but he didnt, he could have made something indisputable but no just writings on animal skins. Imagine the peace if he did just come down or send an obvious message. Wars would stop everything would be better but he just wants to watch us fight over whos go is whos and be a bad father.

    Object permanence. Physics and science has proven a spiritual god exists inside our electrical universe of consciousness and awareness overlapped. We are like nerve endings in the universe and that universe collectively is god totality. We encompass it’s entire being over all of existence through continuous simultaneous time. There is no multiverse. Just us in different body’s at a different point in the time branch all moving toward the collapse of the universe and the rebirth of god ultimately leading to a newer and more complex and efficient deity at creation and development. We are a all connected and contain the light. Because everything is light. We are the same thing as god. So. That makes us gods. “You are gods” 😊

    Today I lost my faith for sure, I cried and told God I hate him and said all types of names. I feel he is just silently watching me suffer. Friday, June 7, 2024 was supposed to be my day of reprieve. The day I met the love of my life in person, I was supposed to come back on Monday, June 10, 2024. Everything you could imagine had happened for me to miss that damn flight, I called the representatives to move it for free, as that’s what were told could happen. It didn’t. I called today 2 days later at midnight and saw if I could get a full refund, no. All they do was give some money from their company when I book the next trip, or my boyfriend. This may seem juvenile. My whole life has been horrible, since the day I was conceived I was cursed. I have been saying for a while my family has been cursed, literally I can’t write everything in this. My father left when we were young, I tried to end my life in middle school but heard God’s voice & presence to not, we have been poor our whole life & live off the government, no jobs won’t take me-I have tried for months on end, I had to drop of college for many reasons and now I have a charge on my account which I can’t transfer, I finally start dating because God kept giving me dreams and a word from him that I would meet my husband in 2 years. Online dating the only way. He also gave me a word that I would move/visit NY, I am from NY originally but now I live in the rural south because my mom moved us here when we’re little-another crazy story in that. I met this guy, who is my now boyfriend and he is like the closest thing I have seen to what an imperfect perfect person was, he shows a Christ like heart. He was there for me when my depression got so bad, we connected so well. I am also 21 & he was 20 at the time, and now 21 as we are 3 months apart exactly. My mother is very abusive, my whole family is fucked. He paid & planned everything. Even brought and sent something to me before even meeting in person, yes we FaceTime and sent pics of family & our outings, and called a lot for hours, I talked to his friends too. The day I left it was shit from beginning but I was excited and was “holding stead fast” to my faith….I even held stead fast when I found out we missed the flight on things I couldn’t change. There were multiple people who also missed it for the same reason, the car crash & crazy traffic. The airport workers were even talking about it. Also, my shirt ripped that day too-my favorite shirt. It was some weird omen I guess. Today I lost it, my boyfriend is drunk with husband friend drinking his sorrows away and hasn’t texted me the whole day. I double texted him asking him if he is okay hours apart. I finally reached out to his best friend through social media, his friend told me they are drinking & he is drunk, they are chilling. So, he is fine he is just sad. And even when he was drunk with his friends he would always text me goodnight or call me, he even called me twice at the night before. Again, this may seem juvenile. I just wanted reprieve. I wanted to be with someone I love to start a life, I was supposed to meet his family and friends, his grandmother & aunt was excited to meet me & even his grandma was going to make me a meal. I made him look like a fool. Last night he reassured me everything was okay and to get rest, he told me he loved me. That’s the last I heard of him, I told him leading up it wouldn’t work and to find someone more better for his life, I would just end up taking him down with me. He insisted no, that he loves me and God put together. And now it seems he could be rethinking his choices. Honestly I am done, nothing right has ever happened in my life. I’m done. I literally just wanted one fucking good thing to happen. Doesn’t it say in the Bible that he knows how much we can handle? Well, I can’t handle it anymore. Today was the breaking point and it even hurts more because I hurt someone by being affiliated with me. He lost money, he just graduated college and is such a gentleman and all I could do was call the airline & get a some little money off for his next flight? Are you kidding me? I mean let me get fucked up, but the one I love too? We were planning a life together, and now it may not happen-as I suspected because nothing goes right. If this relationship ends I am going to probably end it all. It may seem so dumb, but how my WHOLE life has been up until now…that was the true that broke the camel’s back. It truly was my life straw. The only things stopping me from ending my life again is pain. Is if I do it what if I don’t do it successfully and I am left scarred physically & mentally, where it literally alters my whole life. If I die and don’t go to heaven, hell scares me and I had a dream I was in purgatory. God gave me dreams of my future life and it was everything I wanted, nothing crazy but just peace, happiness, and my family. I don’t see how that can possibly happen now. I don’t have any more energy to date or get to know anyone else. I have no energy to see if my dreams will come true, most of the time my dreams do come true & therefore I know it is God-good or bad..usually good. The funny thing is, the night before I had a dream I made it safely to see him in the airport & we hugged and he was shocked and he was all great. Why would God toy with my mental and let me miss the flight if he knew I wasn’t gonna make it? This doesn’t give me faith for future, it makes me mad and depressed even more. I’ll have the suicide hotline on speed dial for now, I watched this video as it was a good title and not those dumb deconstruction videos. I was a an atheist and did all of the types you could think of, I studied all other religions. Nothing did it for me like Jesus, like Christianity and I came back seriously 2 years ago. But, this…this has sent me quiet over the edge. It’s like when you already had a bad day & then the pocket on your hoodie gets caught on the door knob and you break down losing it. I hate it here, I hate my life. Why me? I’m tired. I just wanted one moment of reprieve and it just stepped on, as if God is toying with me. I don’t get it. When I missed it, one of the things I said was “I’m skeptical about things like this. What if the flight crashes or a car crash was gonna happen when I got there?” But, even that positive way of thinking was that my boyfriend always has & taught me has slipped. I am done. This is long, I am ranting into the ether to get it off my back since and I cried and yelled at God today. Maybe someone was supposed to see my comment. I told Jesus I am not a Christian no more and some more choice words, but idk….I guess I still am because apart of me still has a faith of a mustard seed buried deep down & the other part wants to me to go back to my old life and sin like crazy when I get the chance because God doesn’t even car for my well-being so why care for his feelings? That’s all, jeez this was long.

    I have hope, but not faith. Personally, I just hope that people enjoy their life while it lasts. I, in my own personal opinion, think that it is sad that people think they have to do very specific things, or please very specific people, so they can go to a specific place when they die, so they can finally be happy. Why not just be happy now? Why wait for something that might be (and probably is) fake? People shouldn't have to refrain themselves from stuff like swearing, or enjoying more candy, or just letting yourself loose. They should just be able to do what they want to do. But that also brings me to my next point. If believing in God, or any other religion, makes you happy, then by all means do that. If devoting your life to some mystical being is your cup of tea, then I won't stop you. Because it's your life! And everyone has different ways of being happy. But don't come knocking in on the lives of others. Don't bully people, giving them a hard time. There really is no point of doing that, you can find other ways of being happy without making others unhappy. And also, you shouldn't push religion on anyone. Just let them believe in what they want to believe in, whether that aligns with your beliefs or not. That's just not right. There is more I could say, but quite honestly, I'm tired. I gotta get to bed, and spend another day making others happy. Goodnight.
