I moved my arm and wondered why it felt a little sore. Then I remembered that I picked up and threw cinderblocks and such up a hill yesterday 😅🤣 well, that's explains it!

The words we use make a difference in how we experience life. If I have a habit of saying "I have to", I might be aware that I'm making a choice, but I'm telling my emotions that I don't have a choice. But I always have a choice, I just might not like any of the consequences of making a different choice. For example, "I choose to go to work", because I like being able to buy the things I want when I want, and not going to work can get me fired, and looking for a job is hard, so I'd rather keep my current job, even if it's not my favorite." Shifting our word choices can help us feel much better about the choices we are making as well. It can remove the burden of "having to go to work" and replace it with a more positive, "I get to go to work" attitude.

Yes! When I met my husband, he taught me to stop saying "I have to", because it indicates that I don't have a choice, but I actually always do. "I have to go to work." No, I choose to go to work so I can make money, and I don't want to get fired. "I have to wake up early tomorrow." No, I choose to wake up early tomorrow because I want to get certain things done. The words we use can influence us in feeling trapped. Changing how we talk about things can help us in getting unstuck, and realizing the freedom and deliberation choices we are actually making. 😊

I had a very interesting dream last night. There was a small group of us, including Hodl, and for some reason we all climbed up this really tall tree house. However, when we were up there, and the others decided to climb back down, Hodl looked down and was apparently afraid of heights and closed the door. I was further in the room so I was just kinda still in there. We were on opposit sides of the room, doing our own thing when we looked out one of the windows and his huge tree at a distance got set on fire (might have been lightning or something) and we had a little bit of an interaction over it. Then, because of the winds, the trees around us caught some embers and got set of fire too, at which point Hodl decided he'd rather face his fear of heights and climb down than stay up there with the fire so close. We both had backpacks with laptops and computer equipment and such that we'd been using in the treehouse, so he gathered some of his stuff before he started to climb down, and me being me, I grabbed a few more things that I thought would be nice to have before leaving, and then I woke up. I didn't feel scared of the fire, as I kinda just observed what was happening and assumed a fire truck would eventually come and put out the fire in the treetops around us, but since Hodl was leaving, I decided to go too. 🤣 We never saw the other people again.

Have you ever read this scripture, but changed out "love and it" for I? I'm pretty sure Nostriches would score way higher than Xers would on the answer being Yes to these. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Faith it ongoing. Just like I have Faith in my husband. The bible also states "Faith without works is dead". It's an action.

Well, believing that "nothing created something" is way more stupid in my opinion. Plus, people do come back to life all the time, they just don't stay dead as long as Jesus did, so your original assertion is flawed. God is real and I've seen way too much to not believe it. It's not blind faith, it's actually action based, although faith does come first, because first I believe, then I see. Kinda like, first I believed my husband was telling me the truth while we were dating, and now i get to live with the reality of the truths that he did tell me. So, we all use faith all the time. The reason God used someone dying and coming back to life, was because the original sin brought in death, and only by a flawless sacrifice would that sin be truly eradicated. But since Jesus was flawless, and died without personal sin, he was able to defeat the enemy, take back the authority given to the devil, and thus come back to life and hand that authority back to us. Now it's up to each of us to decide if we want to partake in the restoration, which is the restored personal relationship we can now have with God, or not. I just woke up from a nap, so I think I might have gone a bit all over the place in my answer, but there's still truth in what I'm saying. Also, with God, "don't trust, verify" is actually allowed, and is how a lot of people who first find bitcoin later end up finding Jesus. Bless you.

A lot of Christians have a bad habit of degrading themselves, as if they are scum and need to deny themselves to let God get all the glory. However, all humans are made in the image of God. We are all higher than angel, which is why satan is so filled with hatred towards us. So, by degrading ourselves, we're not actually aligning with what God says about us, but what satan says about us. God said that we are very good! And now, if we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and believe that He died and rose again, and is one with God, we become a new creation! We are no longer sinners, but saints. We can commit sin, but it doesn't define us. When God looks at us, He sees something good! So, instead of disagreeing with God about who we are, it's much better to be truly humble, which is to acknowledge reality, no more and no less, which means to think of ourselves as GOOD!

Thought if you the other day and wondered if you were elsewhere or just hidden in a different relay. Welcome back!

How about the parents get to be responsible for their children, and the government steps back and stops trying to be god and the parent of the citizens?! How about they focus on going after the criminals that prey on children, instead of controlling the parents and kids?! Yeah, their facade is like a transparent curtain. It might distort a tiny bit, but what they're really doing is only hidden to those who choose to only focus on the curtain, and to not look anywhere else. It's horrific!
