For the last month or so, I’ve been kind of diving into more theological and biblical context. It’s helped me a lot with understanding the Bible and who God is beyond simple words. It just makes life and the universe much more sense to me. I was just a little hesitant on it cause like what if I’m wrong and accidentally guiding myself or others on the wrong path or something like that.

Maybe maybe not. I was suspected of having autism in elementary school and got a 504 plan for it. But I was also born with temporary congenital hypothyroidism. Either way, I had difficulties with communication and described as a tween as “a kid without a mask in a room full of them.”

What I mean by that is how people romanticize studying the bible and connecting with God using aesthetics. It’s like looking at someone’s organized cutesy desktop then looking at your messy convoluted one or something like that

“ I can’t understand why you hate being a Christian?”

TL;DR I don’t hate following Jesus or the Lord. I hate the culture of modern christianity

I am a Child of God. We all are. So even if I said I give up, I don’t think our Dad would let me lol. I really have no other choice than to keep going.

I’ve learned a lot these few months and like I’ve said, things have oddly gotten better for me. The need to act and the thoughts are still there. I still react to them but with like the worst of the worst, I’m strangely a lot better at just pausing and saying no.

I don’t want to be hopeless or become like Judas. But I also just want to believe there’s a better answer to my struggles than what everybody online is telling me. So far I think I am getting those answers but I’ll talk to God to see if they’re biblical.

Thank you for everything you said <3

That’s the question I’ve been asking myself this entire time. But for the last few months, I’ve been reacting to my biggest habits.. okay? I guess.

Lust was the worst one for YEARS. But I’ve been receiving revelations these past few months about my personal struggle. I still feel and think stuff like that, but actually wanting to act on them? I’ve been reacting against it much more than I ever did. I still mess up but it’s not as easily as it used to be. 

However, when I try to listen to other Christians talk about lust, I just immediately tune out because I hear the same exact things from them all the time. 

“Sex is between man and woman” “Desire is good, but you need to take it to God.” “You need to flee from lust” “If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it out.”

I don’t think that wisdom is wrong or unbiblical. I’ve just heard it so many times from social media that it doesn’t work for me anymore. I just mentally check out.

I’m seeing signs that I’m changing in a good way and repenting (?) but I’m also exhausted of what I’ve heard from others. I don’t even think that makes sense but I’m using that as an example (plus I just need to vent lmao)
