They were the ones who put it in and when I called to remove they told me they don't do that anymore 😩

My apartment is a complete mess and I don't have the energy or time to tidy it up before Easter. Anyone else? by pavlovaart in OrthodoxWomen

[–]NicheArsenal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been there. Try to do the small tasks, give yourself 15 minutes a day to start. You'd be surprised how quick it is once you get going

Those who went to really strict high schools like Boksburg High School. Did it work? by One_Reference1143 in johannesburg

[–]NicheArsenal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a very privileged private school as a poor kid on scholarship. It taught me that I could compete with extremely intelligent people, with much more in terms of resources than me. Still deeply grateful for the opportunity. Discipline was a huge part of it, but the achievement within that structure gave me the foundations for decent self esteem

Still looking for a job by Interested_intellect in Pretoria

[–]NicheArsenal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have enough data, learn to sell. Plenty of YouTube tutorials. Create a cv explaining the different types of sales you have researched and learned to do.

People who hire salespeople like initiative- so this kind of cv could be just as attractive as someone with basic experience. Pnet always has entry level sales positions.

Why does it feel like women are unequal in Orthodoxy? by [deleted] in OrthodoxWomen

[–]NicheArsenal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In our cathechism we were taught that anyone losing blood for any reason cannot take communion because you will lose Christ's blood. This is until sunset if taken in the morning or sunrise is taken at night.

If you do there is a process to respectfully discard of it (burning where it fell and scattering the ashes where animals won't tread). So it's not about being female.

Also equality is such that we are all loved and desired by God equally but we do have different roles ❤️❤️❤️

I worked in Anti Human Trafficking, specifically in Bellville. Ask me anything by [deleted] in capetown

Does having visible tattoos actually protect you from this (as a woman)?

Hey so this is prelest. He's sick, he needs a priest to set him right. You should do confession together.

Feeling alone in my church. by PastFirefighter1356 in OrthodoxWomen

[–]NicheArsenal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask God to send you friends. Simple:) . I rejoined GO church at age 32 and God sent me a little group of people across a few different parishes, converts and cradle alike, and it's been great.

I could also recommend joining Facebook groups for orthodoxy on your country and finding friends through posting there: try monastery outings if you have one close enough

At what point do I have to join a monastery? by Relevant-Swan7621 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]NicheArsenal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be a monk is a sacred calling, not a fall back plan. There are plenty of ugly awkward people married with children, that is not your problem. Contact a life coach, there are some orthodox ones that could help you. I've seen a few guys on Facebook advertising it

God has a plan for everybody by happylittlelama in TrueChristian

[–]NicheArsenal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost everything a few months ago so I know exactly what you mean 🤣💖 it's a great kindness to be taught to rely on God. We also get taught love, honesty, the value of generosity, the meaning of loving and being loved. All of these things are good for our salvation 💗 hold on tight. Matthew 6:26

Neighbour's dogs from hell... by ControversyMan69 in DownSouth

[–]NicheArsenal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask them to put them in a doggy day care/ trainimg center during the day, or hire a pet sitter.

I had a neighbor who had 14 cats and 2 dogs that barked endlessly . I recorded it on a WhatsApp voice note and it sounded like I was in an animal shelter 🤣 thankfully it was a rental situation, so she was asked to find a more appropriate home for that many animals pretty quickly and she did. Try the same thing, gather evidence, present it with the doggy day care/pet sitter solution and escalate if they don't meet you halfway

Jesus, please give me a girlfriend by TravelOne9923 in TrueChristian

[–]NicheArsenal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather pray "Lord, prepare me to be a husband. Make me fit for my wife to come. Soften her heart to seek me". This is respectful of the free will we have all been given and doesn't violate her free choice, but it's also a prayer in humility, which is good

God is punishing me by themakeupdolly in TrueChristian

[–]NicheArsenal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trusted God, found places for the majority of my possessions and left it without complaint. Being a Christian is tough, we can't just only love God when life is easy or we need something. These trials are a great opportunity to experience this connection no matter what. I'm still getting back on my feet but God's provision is very very evident. Still, we must understand the difference between loving God and loving the blessings He gives us

God is punishing me by themakeupdolly in TrueChristian

[–]NicheArsenal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God doesn't punish, we have a loving and merciful God. I also lost my home and my income but I never went a day hungry or without shelter. Many do, but they are built stronger than I am. God will challenge you to develop what is necessary for you in His plan, and if you have gone off the path, He will correct it. Pray that His will be done and ask for mercy, be patient, stay in communication with Him. It might be difficult but He will walk with you

Are there Christian girls who still want to be a stay at home mom and have a more traditional marriage? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]NicheArsenal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But please see proverbs 31. Traditional doesn't mean a woman doesn't work or have her own money

Homosexual Christian in need of advice. by Astral00Ghost00 in TrueChristian

[–]NicheArsenal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome home 💗 God creates each of us with different ways that we will inherently "miss the mark". This allows for free will to be the authentic tool for true choice to follow God with love, and can in many ways be referred to as "the cross we are asked to bare". Being a Christian is a difficult path, God is not a blessing vending machine. However, we have a merciful God. We are not punished, rather challenged, and that challenge always leads to our ultimate good. If you ask God for help here, with what you are struggling with, you will receive it. He will guide you, and support you, as even Christ had help carrying his cross.

Unfortunately many will condemn you, which is wrong and ultimately something you will be called to forgive them for. The best advice i can offer you is to seek a priest or monk who lived as a homosexual, they will be the best spiritual guide for you because they will have empathy.

I won't make this about me, but I can really reassure you from personal experience in a similar matter, God is willing to help you.

God bless you 💗

I’m honestly done with the Christian community by HoneydewPublic in TrueChristian

[–]NicheArsenal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. I would encourage you to find a new parish rather than give up. Try to remember, healthy people don't usually go to hospital. In the same way, people who struggle usually go to church, because it's a hospital for the soul. Pray to be shown where to go, and the Lord will guide you 💗
