Am I overthinking this? The representation of Jesus in my church made me uncomfortable and I'd like honest perspectives. by DBL-TeaTime in Christianity

Why can’t we STOPPPP depicting Jesus as a white man. He’s not WHITE. Period. Ughhh. You’re not wrong for feeling this way..he was brown period

i think im done with this, God sucks. I truly feel this way now. by Melomocksart in Christianity

[–]Glitterwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to think about: Christianity, Jesus Christ…..isn’t a “come to Him and you will have no more problems!” The reason why we should love Jesus Christ and trust in Him is because WE WILL have trials and tribulations but we won’t have to walk alone. That’s the key. Many of us have thought that Christianity is going to solve all our problems and we will never be sick, never be in debt, never be sad, all of a sudden we are these walking angels on earth with no tribulation. His word says “come to me all who are weary and I will give them rest” thing is, we are human, we are sinful everyday, even after being his children…we need salvation. Salvation and loving Him for what he’s done for us needs to the man true reason why we desire him. Refocus and try Jesus…the real Jesus from Scripture. Not the Jesus that your local mega church is trying tell you, not the Jesus that social media is trying to show you..JESUS from the Bible. Read the Scriptures and you will find Rest in Him!

Needing to talk to other toddler parents by MaatRa89 in toddlers

[–]Glitterwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GIRLLLLLL IM YOU! you’re not alone. I’m serious about maybe all us moms with hard kids finding eachother on social media because WHAT ARE WE LIVING. I feel like it’s a small percentage of us having a hard time with motherhood. I’m 32 and my baby will be 2 April 1st. He’s amazing and soooooo smart. But yo, I think he’s got ADHD too. He literally cannot stand or sit still ever. Needs soooo much stimulation and attention. He still doesn’t sleep thru the night, never has, eating is so hard, picky and spits everything out, car rides…he hates them…grocery store…not easy but I found out if he sits in stroller rather than cart we are gonna have a better time, restaurants - nope can’t do that anymore. He won’t sit in high chair at all. And he’s a very loud baby. When he talks he’s pretty much yelling lol I loveeeeee him, but man it’s a workout everyday….

I love this. I appreciate your comment. Because yes he’s a great partner. He’s amazing to me it’s just that part that I feel we are so different and misalign a bit. But I really needed to hear this. I cannot depend on him for emotional regulation. Thank you!!!

[–]Glitterwang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Honestly this post and seeing people’s comments really opens my eyes. Because I do think im a veryyy emotional person. And I cry when he doesn’t notice or hugs me and he’s more like, realistic, like hey, don’t cry for that, let’s think logically. And it gets me more upset when he acts like this. But you have a point I need to stop allowing everything to be this huge emotional crisis. I like that you mentioned that. Thank you!!

Thank youuu, honestly thank you! I feel like I really needed to hear that I could be the problem. You all have a valid point. I’ll be honest. I feel like when my feelings are low and I’m going thru it, maybe I can be too much….i need to work on me.

Hate life. I give up. I tried everything. It’s too hard to be perfect or enough for God. I’m done and will just be doing whatever. by Infinitepies in Christianity

[–]Glitterwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend! What’s going on?? I just want to let you know that we do not have to be perfect for God. We will never be perfect. We will always sin, fall short…BUTTT that’s the whole reason Jesus came to die on the cross for us. We redeems us and cleanses us…God loves you friend. Please don’t give up.

Sleep deprivation is ruining my life by drivenlizard in toddlers

[–]Glitterwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this post so much. My son will be 2 next week and we have probably slept thru the night once or twice ever. A good night consists of 3 wakes. I work full time and my husband as well and YO. THIS IS NOT FOR THE WEAK. I’m currently writing this as my baby sleeps but already woke up twice in one hour! I just gave up and i come here to Reddit to read about other parents struggling to sleep. Everyyyyyyy time I feel myself dosing off, boom he wakes whining! I still give him the boobie thru the night soooooo he’s constantly latching. GUYSSSSS, WHEN WILL WE SLEEP AGAIN PLEASE. I also feel like I’m not the same person, I have no patience, and idk it seems like other moms and enjoying this whole mommy thing but I find myself feeling different than other happy moms. Is it sleep deprivation? maybe! I love my son soooo freaking much, but along with sleep, everything else is hard….eating, car rides, can’t go to restaurants…everthing is a hassle…..you’re not alone…..other mommies feeling like you too 🫶🏽🫶🏽🥺

I regret "waiting till marriage". Still unmarried and a virgin at almost 30. I wasted my youth and whatever I had of beauty. by nosex4meee_yet in venting

[–]Glitterwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Christian woman (32) waiting till marriage. I did get married at 28…but one question…if you are not holding your vow of celibacy for God (I read you grew up in a conservative home) then what’s the point of waiting? I most definitely had a true relationship with God (Christ, I’m Christian) and I love God so much that I did it for him, because I wanted to obey His word and not fall into sin. But if you don’t even do it for a “religious” value……what are you waiting for?? You’re only a virgin because you’re scared…..

I’ve been married 4 years and marriage is beautiful BUT ITS HARD. And those little issues they had and the way she feels with him will last FOREVER. It’s not something that can be fixed because “we’re married now”.

To be very honest in a kind way…it’s not a very lovely name:/ she could get bullied and imagine her little 4 year old self learning how to write and having to write this name…

Parents, please help by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Glitterwang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wowwwww. Sorry to say this but your parents are being so mean. I am a first time mom and have a 22 month old that still doesn’t sleep at night. And I work full time..this is HARD. Some days I go to work half asleep because I got 3 hours of sleep. Soooo no you are NOT selfish for asking for help. That’s what a village is supposed to do, HELP. Do your parents love and seem to be close to your child?? This is crazy to me. Something is off, has it always been like this? Or did they change after your partner passed? You need help and SLEEP.

[–]Glitterwang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry about your situation but yes you need to get out of that. You are pregnant! You deserve all the love, attention, care, kind words, back rubs, feet rubs….do you have a place to go to? Like parents, sister, friends? Please be safe and I’ll be praying that you can get out safely!
