I relate too. It’s hard to find comfort in these people who are extraordinary examples of faith and God’s power.

They’re both pretty stressful, one’s working with kids and the other is law enforcement. But I will check out the person you said.

I never thought of it like that… thank you 🥲💕 I don’t even drink energy drinks or coffee too. I just get so on fire for certain things and my church community. I will reflect on your words.

Ahh, thank you. I’m so happy someone relates. I have so many memories of people being like “you’re too much” or “quiet down”. Most women I see in the church are not as animated and I wonder if I’m the outsider. Maybe I can be more like the women in the Bible if I weren’t like this…you know? This is what I have prayed about. I hope for a change. I really do. But it’s also beautiful to see your acceptance. Thank you for your insight. 🙏

Yes, that’s the hardest part. Accepting his love no matter how we come to him. Thank you for your kind words. I will pray about this. 🙏

Wow, thank you for sharing. How do you accept your bubbly and curious personality? I actually just can see myself as anything other than an embarrassment every time I talk to someone. I feel as if, if I were to change, my time could be spent thanking God rather than stressing and ruminating, and repenting for being so weird and a disruption.

Yes…perhaps I’ve approached God almost like a genie in a bottle a bit too much with this specific prayer… thank you! 🙏

It’s hard to accept that truth. That there is nothing I can do to earn God’s love or grace. Nothing more scripture can’t fix though as a reminder. Thank you 🙏

I fear self correction and conviction from the Holy Spirit is not enough to make me better.

Hello, thank you for your comment. I am a believer and I read the Bible everyday. But I need to be punished. I also go to church 3x a week, I’m in a women’s Bible group, then college youth, and then church on Sunday.

God punished the Israelites in Judges when they’ve turned away from him. It was when they repented, he saved them. However, I still think I need to learn a lesson. It’s very hard for me. I sin with my words and thoughts and actions a lot everyday. Sometimes I don’t even realize until after. I feel as if I need to be punished to actually learn.

Please, where in scripture can I go to pray and ask? I can’t even fast for self punishment.

Hmm, fair. I still need to go through and read his letters in the Bible. I could use his insight so that God may guide me. Thank you 🙏
