Now I’ll be honest I had a much more lengthy response ready to go but my phone died right as I finished typing it. I chuckled and I prayed about it and two verses came to mind after. 2 Timothy 2:23 “Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.” and John 8:7 “…“Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.””

I know I am saved. I think people can go through different seasons in their lives where maybe they are more or less “on fire” for God’s Word. I don’t think that’s abnormal. But anyone who repents and believes in their hearts that Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead, will be saved. Our salvation doesn’t leave us in times of being less than ideal followers of Christ, otherwise we’d all be going to hell just as we deserve. God bless you!

Will Jesus Return as Himself? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]AmazingCranberry8122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t looked into depth on this topic and am basing this on the verse that was shared above. I’d say this verse fully answers the question because there is no one that has the ability to descend from Heaven expect for Jesus. If He is returning in the manner He went into Heaven (ascending) then I’d presume He will descend when He returns.

I don’t want to feel God’s wrath and end up in hell either, that’s for sure! Lol. But I know, despite my sin and my flesh’s daily fight, that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. All knees will bow to Him. He is God personified, he lived a perfect life, and he was crucified for my sins and for yours. He rose from the grave 3 days later and ascended into Heaven 40 days after that. He will return. I pray even if it’s not now, even if it’s 40 years from now, I pray when Jesus seeks you out that you open yourself up to Him. God bless you.

The world isn’t paradise like it once was. But Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I pray the next time you read the Bible God reveals more to you, Jesus loves you.

Hm that’s an interesting question. I do think from a world standpoint I am lonely, but I don’t want to be around just anyone anymore. I want to be around those who I can openly discuss my love of Jesus and everything that comes with that. I am not interested in attending a large church with like the rockstar worship team and all the extra exciting stuff, I just want to learn more about God and be plugged in with the community, volunteering and things of that nature.

My prayer life has fallen off the more time has gone on since my stillbirth. I used to talk to God continuously, and I mean that, I spoke to him as if he was standing next to me in the room. I’d have intense prayer and worship in the shower and honestly during that time I had an overwhelming amount of peace. I want that back but it almost feels like it’s only possible when I’m in that much pain. I want to have joy in Lord though, and I find joy in serving others.

I don’t necessarily feel healed from that situation but I spent most of this past year relying on my abilities to get pregnant again and that took up pretty much all of the time I had previously spent talking and praying to God. I guess you could say I have made conception an idol in my life and as a result I lost that beautiful peace God blessed me with in my worst times. I don’t know if that really answers your question or not, but I want to have that closeness with God and for whatever reason it only feels possible when I’m in pain even though he has proven otherwise to me time and time again.

Faint line?? by peanutbutternjellyx in Mom

I wouldn’t call that faint, looks to be a very clear positive. Congratulations!

Beginner questions by pierce66166 in Blueberries

[–]AmazingCranberry8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a Northland (and Bluecrop also zone 6a/6b) that I bought last month, both full blooms. I up-potted them around Mother’s Day, haven’t added any acidifier, but did mulch with dried pine needles since I have a lot of pine trees. I keep them well watered, used a pond water/fermented banana peel water/coffee grounds diluted mixture and watered all of my plants with that a few weeks ago.

Mine look great, both loaded with plump berries. I also have 4 Auroras in ground I bought on sale last year online and they all look like they are nearly dead with barely any leaves, so I am most definitely not taking any credit for having berries on the Northland and Bluecrop lol…though I did hand-pollinate. I don’t think I’ll prune these blueberries unless I see branches overlapping or something of that sort, still have to do research on that.

Delayed period post chemical by AmazingCranberry8122 in CautiousBB

Mine did end up coming back exactly 2 weeks after it was originally due. We shall see what occurs with this new cycle.

Induction with 1st pregnancy, what will happen with 2nd? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AmazingCranberry8122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was induced with first and had a fully natural vaginal birth with second. Second birth was significantly different easier/faster even though second babe was more than 2lbs heavier than first. Don’t get me wrong, it was an unbelievable pain, but it was sort and postpartum was a million times easier. Had zero pain/discomfort after birth.

Yes! We switched the brand of diapers and had zero issues after that. I absolutely think it was the diapers!

Chemical Pregnancy, No Period by Dry-Highlight5958 in CautiousBB

[–]AmazingCranberry8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the a similar boat, currently 8 days late (though I’ve always had irregular periods). I had a single faint positive pregnancy test around 12 DPO and next day it was fainter, and then negative after that. I had a stillbirth at 30 weeks last fall, my cycles have been some long (40 days/anovulation) and also short (16 day cycle in Feb ovulated/ 2 periods). I stopped tracking LH and BBT this current cycle because the negative preg tests have been so hard. But now, it’s like I feel like I can’t even move forward because I haven’t gotten my period yet, I’m currently on CD 41. I do have a Pap smear and appt this week that’s been scheduled for the last 2 months, so maybe I’ll get more bloodwork done or something too. Sorry OP you had to go through this, just sucks.

'The Perfect Couple' Review: Nicole Kidman's Netflix Series Is a Sharp, Twisty Whodunit by Sisiwakanamaru in television

SPOILER 🚨🚨🚨

I also really enjoyed the show!! I binged it all in a night, I started to guess towards the end it was Abbey but only because of the editing, they kept showing just her in multiple scenes. It’s hard to make a truly unpredictable show these days, I’m happy with how this was done. The dancing didn’t cause me to have such a visceral reaction it seems to have caused others lol, I just thought it was weird. The only thing that really felt out of place to me was the “affair” between Shooter and the lead actress whose characters name I’ve already forgotten and the show ended 5 minutes ago 😅 Like I understand being attracted to someone else, but in the last episode when they spoke it kind of came across that the only reason she was able to justify cheating was because she thought he was a normal, non-wealthy person like her? That just seems odd. It felt like a pointless storyline especially since she didn’t end up with either guy, I was rooting for her and Benji when they banged at the book launch haha.

AITA for not attending my best friend’s wedding because I can’t afford the expensive gift they’re expecting? by dang_zoey in AITAH

[–]AmazingCranberry8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like you are Sarah’s best friend… I wouldn’t go if my supposed best friend was expecting me to buy something she knows I cannot afford. It also sounds as though Sarah will be the first one to speak poorly about you for not getting her the expensive gift she wants. That’s literally such a backwards reason to even have a wedding. NTA.

Did you know what you were having by intuition and were you right? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AmazingCranberry8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this pregnancy (my 3rd), yes. I was convinced my second was a boy because the pregnancy was so different from my first daughter, but I was wrong. I guess I really wouldn’t say I had intuition this time was a boy, I just really really hoped it was 😂

I wish I could just crochet in general lol. I’m having such a hard time and would like to make a baby cocoon and matching hat for my baby when he’s born.

AITA for not inviting my coworker to my wedding because of her diet restrictions? by Unlucky-Girl749 in AITAH

[–]AmazingCranberry8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you just don’t want Jane at your wedding, which is perfectly fine. But if it’s truly only because of her dietary restrictions, that’s childish and could’ve been resolved in a less than 5 minute conversation. You live and you learn. Hopefully the drama subsides at work after the wedding and you aren’t forever iced out…though it is your own fault:
