It’s astounding how God can transform a person. This is me two years ago on my first day back before I found Christ, and next to it is my first day this year. I barely remember looking like that. My personality is completely different now. All glory and praise belong to God.
I’ve hesitated to make this post, but I’ve reached a point where I’m willing to make sacrifices for my faith. As many of you know, I’ve been discerning Catholicism for a few months, and when I go to university, I will be joining RCIA and converting to the Catholic faith. 1/3
Is it bad or weird that I have a strong desire to sleep with my rosary under my pillow or in my hand at night? I don't know why, but the thought of doing so soothes me a great deal.
For those who believe I’m on the wrong path, I assure you that I believe this is the path God has set for me. I ask that you either respect my decision or move on. 3/3
Is it too idealistic to hope for a marriage where spouses rarely yell at each other and never use cruel names to hurt or belittle one another? Sorry if that was a little random, guys.
Some of you have been supportive of my decision, and some have not. If you have a problem with this, I ask you to please unfollow me, as my faith is growing and I feel a strong desire to share it. This means I’ll be posting more about Catholicism and my faith. 2/3
It seems to me that Candace Owens is positioning herself as a blameless victim of the "evil" Daily Wire. She appears to be the one stirring the pot now. Maybe she should just let sleeping dogs lie. 🧵
Exciting thing to share:
P.S. Please ignore how chaotic and messy I look. I just got home from band practice, and I’m excited, so I’m a little all over the place. 🙏💕
I received a Saint Benedict Medal in the mail and will soon get a Miraculous Medal. Once I have the Miraculous Medal, I plan to take both medals and my rosary to a priest for blessing. For now, I will not be wearing them until they are blessed.
Guess who just received an acceptance email from Franciscan University?! I’m so excited; I just want to bounce around, cry, and laugh at the same time!
My parents went on a date night, so I’m in charge of getting the little ones to bed, locking up the house, and cleaning. This might be one of my last posts for the evening. Good night, friends. I pray that you wake up well-rested in the morning. 🙏💕
I've been listening to Gregorian Chants a lot recently, and I really like them. It's hard to explain, but they put me in a different state of mind than I'm normally in.
@AaronDeusVult
Thank you for asking! Yes, I plan to come into full communion with the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. I’ll be starting college in the fall, and I’m eager to begin the RCIA process as soon as I arrive. 1/2
Just watched the "Cross the Line" episode for
@michaeljknowles
. It's surreal that the man with Michael admitted to being brainwashed and seemed to understand, even slightly, the truth, but was conditioned into believing he shouldn't admit it. Really sad, but a great interview.
I have a question for you guys: Am I the only one who has noticed how vile the replies to any post that
@andrewklavan
makes these days are? Is it wrong for me to expect better behavior from grown adults than this?
Not-so-hot take: Women, in general, should not be in the Secret Service, especially women who have children. This is because you are expected to take a bullet for the people you’re protecting, and your children need you.
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be posting as frequently for a while. I’m really struggling with my mental health (I really can’t get into it) and need some time to work through it and pray. Thank you for your understanding. 🙏
some of you don’t know this because I’ve only been active on here for a few months, but after practice every day we walk home from band and it is the best parts of my day.
Hi everyone, I’m raising funds to cover a deposit for my university place due to financial difficulties. Any support would be greatly appreciated to help me secure this opportunity. Thank you for your generosity! 🙏💕
I've noticed that many of my friends here on X are going through difficult times, so I'll be offering a special Rosary for all of you. If anyone else is struggling but hasn't posted about it, feel free to let me know so I can include you in my intentions. 🙏💕
Hey guys, I'm not in a great state of mind right now, so I would appreciate any prayers you can offer. I was supposed to be taking a dual enrollment class, but I had to drop the class I was enrolled in. 1/3
@oldgalreading
I need Jesus, and I believe this is where He wants me to be. As I mentioned before, if you have an issue with this, please feel free to unfollow me.
Some men want women to submit out of fear, but submission should come from trust and love. If you want a godly wife, ask yourself: Do you want her to submit out of fear or respect? True submission is built on trust, not fear.
If she admitted some fault, I could be more inclined to believe her claims and be more gracious toward her. However, she seems to be setting it up so that she is the sole victim in the situation, portraying them as the evil ones trying to destroy and victimize her repeatedly. 🧵
is she so self-absorbed that she would destroy one of the few guardians of tradition and culture and everything that every day normal people know because she’s petty? Just leave it alone. move on do your own thing they don’t even mention you anymore!!!
Happy Birthday, Blessed Mother! 🌹
Today we celebrate the birth of the Virgin Mary, chosen by God to bring His Son into the world. Her faith, humility, and perfect obedience to God's will are the ultimate example of love and devotion.
@ThePublicaNow
That's completely unacceptable and deeply troubling. I have cerebral palsy, though my case was less severe, and I was fortunate to receive medical care that helped correct my leg condition. I can't imagine what I would've done in her shoes. My heart goes out to her. 🙏
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I’m probably going to step back from posting a lot about politics for a little while. I still have plans to work in politics, but right now I feel called to focus more on posting about God and deepening my relationship with Him.
Is there a group of people on any app somewhere who likes clean books? Because I am an avid reader I love the classics and I’m also interested in romance novels but every time I think I want to read a young adult novel it’s not actually young adult and it’s so frustrating.
I just don't get it. Why is she so obsessed? Is she so determined to destroy them because they might pose some competition to her or because of some petty grudge. They are one of the very few groups of people that will actually protect every day normal people. 🧵
I don’t know how to properly bring this up, so I’m just going to say it: Does anyone else feel uncomfortable with conservatives promoting and getting buddy-buddy with RFK Jr.? (1/2)
@HazelAppleyard_
This is absolutely disgusting, especially since there are REAL women who cannot get pregnant. It’s like you’re trying to steal and replicate their pain. This is wrong on so many levels.
I forgot to show you guys this: my career and college readiness teacher had us create vision boards for our futures and set up SMART goals to achieve them. I think this sums up my aspirations pretty well. What do you think?
My uncle is coming to pick me up around 2:45 so we can go see Am I Racists together at 3:50, so I practically have to wait three hours for him to get here. I can’t wait! I think I’m going to play Tears of the Kingdom to pass the time.
I'm lying in bed, eating spicy ramen, and watching ‘Criminal Minds’. I'm extremely content right now. For those of you who don't know, I have an obsession with Spencer Reid, and one day I want to marry a man just as adorkable as him.
Me and my baby sis! Our time together got cut short, though, because she’s got VBS, so now I’m on my own again and I’m sad. She is the only person who doesn’t make me feel like an introvert, if that makes sense. 🥲
I’m in Beta, and we’re doing a free car wash today. I’ve been sitting in the sun for two hours, and I’ve got to sit here for two more. It’s pretty fun, all things considered, though. I actually enjoy community service. It’s pretty fun.
Quick thought before bed: Statements like 'you only live once' and 'carpe diem' often get used to justify reckless or immoral behavior. But we’re both physical and spiritual beings, and our actions affect our souls.
I think it's important for everyone to know that I'm still in the process of developing my beliefs and values. This means there may be times when I contradict myself or seem uncertain. I see this as a learning process where I'll make mistakes and gain clarity over time.
Hey guys this hacking situation has caused my first panic attacks since i came to Christ a year and a half ago so I really need prayers right now. Because I am physically shaking and I can’t breathe and I can’t focus and I’m rushing to fix this.
I was looking through my posts and realized just how often I share when something makes me happy. It sort of occurred to me that it doesn’t take much to make me happy. 😅
I'm starting my senior year of high school tomorrow, so I might not be posting as frequently as I used to. However, I'll still be keeping up with current events and staying connected with all of you. Good night, everyone!
Hey guys, I was discussing theology and the Bible with my parents, and the topic of females not being church leaders came up. I mentioned that it's not allowed and goes against God's will, but I couldn't explain it well. She wants to know more about it. Can you help explain it?
@abbythelibb_
No, don’t do that. Keep sharing knitting content just don’t show any of your body parts next time so they can’t make disgusting comments. I need the encouragement from a fellow knitter.
We're working on personal portfolios in class right now, and it’s pretty fun! What do you all think? Keep in mind that this is far from the final draft.
My ideal man:
-5'9
-Gentleman of leisure
-Deeply loyal
-Friendly and easygoing
-Endearingly optimistic
(Optional)
-Almost ruins things by letting his best friend talk him out of proposing the first time.
-Rents Netherfield Park for way too long before finally settling.
@Truth_matters20
I do trust the Bible completely and I’m not Catholic, but I want to be. This isn’t emotional thing for me more of I’ve seen the evidence and I believe that the Catholic Faith has some grounds.
I’m working on a proposal about how the U.S. has drifted from its founding principles and the urgent need to return to them. I’ll use historical influences and recent investigative journalism to highlight the decline in civic knowledge and suggest solutions. *This is for class*
I’m officially in love with the David story lecture series from
@hillsdaleonline
! It’s made me see scripture in a completely new light. Now all I want to do is read my Bible front to back, finding parallelism & expansion in biblical poetry. I’m only 4 videos in, and it’s amazing!
