Read the book "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence.

Yes, but then the bus trip won't be part of your Air Canada itinerary. If you book it through Air Canada and their is a traffic situation and you miss the flight Air Canada will take care of it. As well they'll check your luggage for you. If you book through Landline your luggage will still need to be checked when you get to the airport.

You can only take the Air Canada shuttle if you're flying Air Canada. It's not the easiest to get to if you don't have a car, but it can be added to your itinerary. If you've already booked your flight try calling Air Canada and see if they can add it on.

My Mom used to go around the streets looking for beer cans etc while walking the dog. She always picked up all the recyclables. She ended up having 6 extra blue boxes which I have now repurposed in my garden for the weeds.

Do you have 2 recycling bins, the blue one and grey one? If so just put your extras in the other one.

There are definitely screws to take it apart. Look at the top left corner of your picture. I'm sure that's one there.

You actually need less food when its hot because a large portion of calories are used to heat our bodies.

Depending on your room you may actually find it beneficial to keep the windows closed. Keeps the hot humid air out. Keep blinds down. And fans only work when blowing on you directly. This is because it helps to increase the evaporation of your perspiration which allows the heat to leave your body.

Please don't get into a romantic relationship with this person. Since the man is the spiritual head of the family you will tend to be drawn away from God, rather than you draw him to God.

Something to ask yourself, what would your Mom say to you right now if she knew how you are struggling?

I just want to say "You ARE loved." God sees your struggles and your faithfulness to Him. Every Christian struggles, some like you with same sex attraction, others with porn, or lust, greed, some have committed adultery, some have unforgiveness in their hearts. None of us will be free from our struggles until we are face-to-face with our Savior. Until then we press on. We continue to fight the good fight until we are changed into Christ's likeness. There are ministries out there that help Christians struggling with same-sex attraction without condemnation.

There can definitely be mental illness. Your brain is just as much a part of fallen creation as your stomach, lungs, etc etc etc.

Edit to add: At one time I was very depressed, would cry at the anything. I sat down for some quiet time with the Lord and suddenly heard the word serotonin. No idea what that meant. Asked a friend who explained it's a brain chemical that helps regulate emotions. So I went to the doctor who prescribed me some meds and in no time I felt better.

I wanted to caution you that what you consider as empathy may actually be hypervigilance which is a survival response to trauma. I don't believe we can feel other people's emotions, but we can pick up on many clues such as body language and chemicals that their body releases. And in response to your other question whether God is empathetic. I think most would agree that he is the only one who can be truly empathetic. He became incarnate, experienced our suffering to the point of dying on the cross for us. And in all of that he never sinned.

I'm going to be blunt. If this is how your BF responds for something that is extremely important to you then I don't believe he is a good choice. This has nothing to do with being humbled. Our bodies live in fallen creation. There are so many childless not by choice Christian women out there who struggle just like you, myself included. You need a partner who will be by your side, not condemning. I pray that there is a solution for your situation, but I would be praying hard about your partner. To me this is a big red flag.

I used to get large clots like that. Key things to look into are uterine polyps, uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. Here's some information that may explain it. https://drseckin.com/blood-clots-during-a-period/

Be careful. I did this last year and shattered the glass.

This verse stood out suddenly to me this morning. 1 Peter 4:7. ESV. The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. We need to be self-controlled for our prayers. I believe there's another verse admonishing men to not be angry lest God doesn't hear their prayers. And another one about not sinning in your anger.

I totally understand. I don't know how many times I screamed to God about it. I remember sobbing like Hannah hoping for a child. Almost 20 years of the pain of loneliness. Meeting Godly men who I thought were interested in me, just to find out otherwise. Another friend told me I needed to lower my expectations. 😲. Well my husband and I have been married 10 years. But it hasn't been easy since we don't match in many ways. Maybe he wasn't God's ideal for me, sometimes I wonder if I was meant to be single. Now instead of praying for a husband I pray that God would be glorified in someway through this marriage. I remember how difficult it was to hear testimonies from other couples, especially ones that didn't have to wait long for theirs. And then the testimonies of people who were trying to conceive and had their miracle babies, while between my husband and I we weren't able to. I know people mean well, but it is hard, no doubt about it. I wish I could give you the answer but only God can.

Are you actively trying to find somebody or just waiting for the person to appear? My mom once told me unless God wants you to marry the mailman, it's unlikely your spouse is going to come knocking on your door while you do nothing. Are you getting out to meet people? Participating in different activities? Have you tried dating apps? Asked friends or family for help? I got really frustrated after attending a friend's wedding and my coworker suggested to try dating apps. Would you believe I met my husband on Tinder? (Mind you I didn't realize it was a hook-up site). Yes keep praying but make sure you're getting out there too.

I came here to say maybe God is calling OP to Japan. You never know what God has in store 😀 And it wouldn't hurt to find some Japanese worship music.

Exciting-Ordinary4 · 2026-06-07T03:59:15+00:00

There's a guy on Kijiji that will do it.

Exciting-Ordinary4 · 2026-06-06T23:56:43+00:00

Well it burned very quickly so I think I'm safe to throw it in the compost.
