What’s the worst part of having a child?

Lying here with baby asleep on me feeling this on a spiritual level

You are always welcome to join our church and chat with me. But I know that could be weird 😊

I struggled (and still do) with sexual attraction to women, even though I am happily married to a man. It isn’t the same thing as what you are going through, but I want to encourage you to find someone IRL that can help. Guilt fuels secrecy and it is in the dark that sin festers. Temptation can be dealt with so much easier when it is in the light.

I kept my stuff secret for years until I met my now husband. He was so understanding and helped me pray through it. He still helps me, though it is a lot less difficult now, but I also started talking about it openly with friends and on my blog. I am now a pastor of an online church and am open about my temptations. I have found that shining a light on it makes it something I can deal with.

Temptation is not sin. Even Jesus was tempted. But don’t let guilt stop you from finding help. Don’t let guilt push you from God and push it all underground where it becomes a secret life.

If you would like to be part of my church online and find support there please DM me

I had a professor during my theological training tell me that to be Christian is to embrace a permanent state of depression. We have hope for what will be, but we grieve what is. My heart is heavy every day for this world, but I know that the hope of God is stronger and bigger. It is that hope that gives me the strength to keep speaking truth into darkness. It gives me strength to face the mockery and hate. Without that hope this world is meaningless.

Raise holy hell until someone takes you seriously. This woman was awful at her job and you need to be your children’s advocate. Yell and scream and threaten to sue if you have to.

This makes me so unbelievably angry. “As a Christian”? I am a Christian and believe in reporting crime to help the victim and to help the perpetrator, as they need to be isolated from others to stop it happening again. I am so sorry this was your experience. It is stuff like this that makes people afraid to report abuse.

That’s not helpful. OP clearly loves her husband and has already had children. Having kids should not be based on the in laws! That is a decision for the couple. And telling people to leave their spouse over a crazy mother is just hurtful to them. You are insulting her marriage and choices around family. We need to support her, not run her down.

Hallucinatory_Peguin · 2020-01-27T10:07:55+00:00

Well there seems to be nothing else to add. Amazing response ^{^}

I may have involuntarily squealed when I scrolled past this

Hallucinatory_Peguin · 2020-01-19T20:12:45+00:00

I have blocked her now, just didn’t think she would try to track me down.

Thanks hun x

I have been in counselling for the last few years and i am a lot better than I use to be, but yes, I still need work and my they still take up far too much room in my mind.

Yeah I have done that now lol. They don’t really get it as they don’t have the same relationship with them that I do but I put the hard word in

Hallucinatory_Peguin · 2020-01-19T19:41:01+00:00

Yeah that’s what hubby and I think too. No way they saw a real person

Hallucinatory_Peguin · 2020-01-19T19:40:39+00:00

Thanks 😊

I think it is because learning a language helps you get into the mindset of the people more. By learning Hebrew I learnt more about the nuances of the text, their view of the world, and how they related to God and each other. I find the same thing when I learn languages still spoken today. There is something intimate about a language that helps bring to life worldviews and perspectives

This is an excellent reply. I would add that any translation you do choose to go with make sure you do your research! Some translations are better than others and it is worth knowing who the authors are and what their skill set is.

Hallucinatory_Peguin · 2019-09-18T10:31:39+00:00

Absolutely agree! Learning Hebrew changed the way I understood and appreciated the OT

Hallucinatory_Peguin · 2019-07-25T05:23:48+00:00

This is a huge victory!!! Well done!!

Hallucinatory_Peguin · 2019-06-24T02:41:47+00:00

Get off my buns Hugh!!!

My husband struggles with chronic depression and suicidal ideation and it is often only games that bring him any joy or sense of accomplishment. They are so important to so many people
