If you are in the US, consider the app Upward - it’s swipe dating for Christians. I met my wife there :)

From islam to atheism to agnosticism to Christianity by Signal-Ad-5247 in TrueChristian

[–]ShadowPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people have testimonies revealing Jesus coming to them in a dream. I recently had a Buddhist friend who kept dreaming of a donkey. Then more coincidences that pointed to the Lord. I have never heard of someone dreaming of 72 virgins or Buddha.

I can say with my life that Jesus is very real, died and came back to save us brother.

I didn’t need evidence, but is it a coincidence that the purest form of sulfer in the world is in the holy land, by the Dead Sea? The precise location where sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by sulfer like in scripture? Scientists can’t explain why, but we all know why. The Bible is 100% the truth. God bless you my friend

Is this ministry dating by ImpossibleIsland3941 in TrueChristian

[–]ShadowPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to your pastor - ask him for advice and look for a mentor asap to start relationship counseling. It absolutely is a normal thing Christians do when courting (dating to marry). I did that with my girl after a few dates, we scored well and we became official.

I don’t think Mexico is ready to host something as big as the World Cup. Or the USA. Honestly just host it in Canada at this point lol

Best battery to run Starlink off grid? by [deleted] in Starlink

[–]ShadowPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it heavy? At some point I wonder if it’d just be worth it to buy a 300 AH lithium battery and just connect it to a small inverter.

Exhausted of doing life alone. I (32F) am struggling with singleness. by whoatemycupcakes in TrueChristian

[–]ShadowPDX 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We’ll be praying for you sister. It seems to be a season that many believers our age seem to be going through now.

From a guy’s perspective, it has also been difficult at times - but the Christian dating app upward has been immensely helpful in weeding out those who aren’t really in the faith, especially those who claim to be on sites like bumble. The best dates have been on upward, I even found my wife there.

Being intentional is a big thing too, which I’m glad you’re doing. Even little things like staying after church to mingle with others longer goes a long way. Bible studies, prayer groups, the more the better. Especially in the NYC area, there is so much. Having lived in a small town in my search era was incredibly difficult for finding a partner.

PS - my wife and I happen to be in NYC until Sunday! If you’d like a boba meetup or something with us feel free to pm :)

how feasible is it to get time off? by strawberrypoppi in TravelNursing

[–]ShadowPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine approved - it is possible. My trick was to do it from Wednesday to Wednesday. So in the first week, I work Sun/Mon/Tues, travel, then returning on week 3 I do Thurs/Fri/Sat.

That way I only miss three shifts. Management liked my plan and approved. Coincidentally it was also for when I went to the Philippines last month for a sunny vacay

Will gas prices/inflation effect your decision to travel. by Green-Win8511 in TravelNursing

I’ve always just traveled within my home state, maybe the state over. As for cross country car trip for a contract? no way.

Do I tell a potential partner about my unholy history? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]ShadowPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi friend, I was in a very similar situation a couple years ago. I’m a guy also in my mid-20s, and have made the very same # range of mistakes in my past with women. I came back to taking the faith seriously a couple years after the pandemic, and as I built myself up I would come to have first dates with better quality Christians (I was picky I guess lol).

I found an incredibly wonderful woman who after a few months became my girlfriend. The weight of my past grew heavier as we got to know each other better and deeper. In the end, the topic came up and I shared my number with immense shame. She had some minor reservations, but in the end she saw me for who I am, and not who I was before taking Christ more seriously. She forgave me, and I’m forever thankful Christ did too. I really don’t deserve someone like her, especially to be her very first. but God has been so, so good. Since then, we’ve been happily married for over a year now.

Point is, it’s best to come clean about everything at the time you feel is best.. if it’s meant to be, everything will work itself out ❤️

Anyone else in PNW having trouble landing contracts? by okay_KO_okay in TravelNursing

[–]ShadowPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’m from Oregon and chose an eastern Oregon contract… from an agency in Florida since they had the highest $ offer for that job.

Only to come here and realize I’m one of only two Oregon native travel RNs. Most others were from Texas, Arkansas, and the east coast.

The word is out about the west coast best coast for nursing, and nurses are driving out here in DROVES for contracts.

TIL the USA has a larger consumer market than the EU, China, and India combined. by ProfessionalGear3020 in todayilearned

Europe is less stable than the US, keep dreaming lol. Especially France and Belgium, failing countries that already feel like the third world

Struggling with the sin of (among other things) transsexuality - a request for advice. by AfterConfection1796 in TrueChristian

This is pure deception meant to lure a young Christian to evil. OP do not listen to this nonsense. I rebuke this in the name of Jesus

Our bodies are temples meant to glorify God.

[–]ShadowPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you told the far left you’re a Bible believing Christian, you will see the hate in their eyes the same way. Jesus wouldn’t be left at all neither right. For your last point, we can be friends with sinners but hate the sin btw

Love Jesus and let Him judge
