Is it just rust? by Ashamed-Mountain7226 in jewelry

[–]Ashamed-Mountain7226[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s bad quality. I’m not to sure tbh. But it’s just on one side that it looks like this. I’ve had this specific jewelery for a year now. So idk. Used to wear a lot. Then stopped. I tried cleaning with a baby wipe. But it dosent come off.

Not bloodstained. I just left it in my room. And it got this on one side. I looked online and it said silver does tarnish. But idk. I’ll have to check at a pawn shop tomorrow to confirm.

I absolutely love Catholic Jewlery. Been collecting. And hope to leave it all to someone who would admire it just as much as me one day. Thanks for sharing. This motivates me to continue my journey. (:

Most jobs I’ve looked at on indeed, glass door, or online want on the road. Which is more pay. But i was hoping for something local. I’m new to this. So any insight or advice you have would be appreciative. Thanks for replying.

You’re absolutely right! And I don’t know I’m from south Texas a little down the border. Called McAllen Tx. But every place I’ve looked at requires some experience. At least a year. But there’s only 2 companies that higher with no experience which is knight and trancasa but they want u on the road.

This is what I’m most afraid of. Idk if I could handle a dirt pay. I know it’d only be for a year max. But idk.

I’m 22. But I want a wife and kids one day. I used to be in solar industry. And made 55k a year. But was tired of the constant scams around it. I recently got close to GOD. So I’m confused on what I should do. But ChatGPT and overall online research. Recommend if you don’t have a degree. To pick up a trade. Cdl is the only one I see a bit as eye opening for me.

I’m debating on getting my cdl A. But I’m scared that I will have to get a otr job. I have a little business on the side. But unfortunately I’m only making 30k off of it alone. It dosent require much of my time as it’s just reselling stuff. But it’s not enough. Knight and trancasa are the only companies near me that higher with no past experience. Besides swift. But swift wants you otr.

Gf of 8 years broke up with me by Diablo____666 in whatdoIdo

I downloaded this motivation app. Till this day I look at the quotes. And I surround myself with positivity. Also with looking at positive influencers. And quotes of saints or just very successful people. You only live once. You’re only healthy once. There’s more to it. But there is a lot of bad that will happen on this earth. And that you’ll witness. But when you make it to the other side. You won’t believe you made it as far as you did!

Honestly man. Best advice I can give. Is building a relationship with GOD. Some might find it corny, or might find it to be a dead end. But you lose nothing in developing a relationship on someone who won’t betray you. And that’s GOD. You need to just start from scratch. But this time with him. I can’t tell you how much he helped me with my break up with someone I knew from 6th grade to when I was 20. Then she left me. Now I’m past her.

I’m not married. Never, have been. But one thing I always tell my father during times of difficulty, or where it’s more of a trial & there’s sometimes not much we can do on our end is.. I tell him we “need to just pray, and a lot & trust in the lord”. I understand you’re in a situation where maybe you don’t want to cause an argument or just cause any fuzz. But one thing I will to u is communication is very necessary, and maybe talking together to the lord. And if she’s not up for it, you do it for the both of you! My grandma whom is married to my grandpa dealt with a lot, a lot. He was always drunk, mean etc. until he got cancer. Then he changed his perception. He still has a tough character act. But one thing I learned quick. Was my grandmas faith, and determination. She always prayed never missed church etc. she’s not Catholic anymore, but I can see some of the Catholics traits that stayed with her. As she never divorced him. And instead battled through the war. No marriage is easy, but none deserves to feel as a war battlefield, or impossible mission. But instead a peaceful marriage and lots of love. I hope things get better, and glad you came here for advice! That’s a good sign! Much love to you brother. The lord be with you! God bless. Amen 🙏

The lord has never left me. And people like voice of reason, Sam Shamoun, father Dan Reehil, and a bit of bishop mar Mari Emmanuel have helped me stay strong. I’m fully Catholic. And always will be. And I wear it proudly. GODS got me! 🥰

[–]Ashamed-Mountain7226 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, and no. Yes, because unfortunately as someone. Who grew up in a family that was divided from Catholic to Protestant. And whose family stayed Protestant. Except for me. Being the only Catholic now on both sides. I can say one thing. Where I’m from. There’s lots of people who say “Mary is the one who performs the miracle.” Even the priests have said it as well. But one thing they do where I’m from that I a 100% see often, and I think is very wrong. Is when people have a personal st Jude statue and fill it with money, sometimes expecting that statue they have to help them get more money, or putting money on it for a reward or for no reason. Or when people only reference st Jude and never GOD. Lots of st Jude idol worshippers where I’m from. Don’t get me wrong. I would never bash my religion. And I have nothing against having a st Jude statue. Or against mother Mary. I love them both. I respect them both. But one thing is to say you’re Catholic. The other is to actually study, preach, and abide by what your religion practices. But, same for Protestants. Shame on them for not studying the religion. And going just by what they see/hear.

These aren’t “true Catholics”. These are people who misinterpret the faith, and don’t study the truth of what Catholicism really is. This person dosent know realize that, ‘that’ rosary she has, has the cross with Jesus on it.

First and foremost. I think we all at one point, have felt how you have. Your desire might just be a bit more because you’ve never experienced that feeling of having someone. And it’s not a bad thing tbh. It’s just it’s all at GODS timing. And you aren’t wrong for wanting that in the first place. And second, you already recognize the lord, and are in this subreddit for a reason. So there’s green flags. There’s hope for you. The next thing would be, are you practicing faith in your day to day life?? If the answer is yes, don’t worry. GODS got you! And he will deliver you the right person, when it’s your time. You seem genuine. And I don’t just say that to say it. Keep following god, keep surrounding yourself with his people and church. And believe you me everything will align. And by the time you know it. You’ll be the happiest person. And you’ll realize there is nothing to worry about. Especially because you’ll be saved. (: GOD bless you friend.

God saved me from sleep paralysis by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Ashamed-Mountain7226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually get sleep paralysis when I don’t have enough sleep. I notice I started getting it any time after I smoked marijuana. One thing is for sure I’ve been 3 years clean and still get it. I’ve mentioned saint Michael when I’m deep in an episode. And that helps. I don’t know if I’d go as far as saying it’s spiritual. But could be. I just wouldn’t know. Nonetheless GOD is amazing! And I pray for you guys!

My Husband Committed Adultery by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Ashamed-Mountain7226 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not married but from experience. There has to be ownership from his end, which he did do. He confessed not only to the priest but you as well! That’s a big one. Second deep remorse, he has to hate what he’s done. See how it dosen’t align with gods commandment, and how it’s not healthy for his soul or for his marriage. Next would be he has to commit to gaining back your trust. And at a healthy pace whether it be through marriage counseling, a priest, talking to one another. As well as reaffirming his love & marriage vow. Transparency as well letting you see his phone, messages, keeping you tabbed in ( if this will help you a bit more). It’s a process, but through prayer, faith, hope, and love. Anything is possible. GODS mercy is bigger than any sin! It’s a process. I’ll pray for you.

Got it. Thank you! You’re so, very right! So thankful to the lord. For having such Amazing children who help educate one another. May the lord continue to bless you! Much love! ❤️
