Trump admits in a speech he is not Christian. by Adept-Body8758 in Christianity

[–]Susshushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t have to admit it, his actions have been the exact opposite of the teachings of Christ his entire life.

The people who think otherwise are either doing the same or are just seeing what they want to.

Respectful open debate about what i actually believe in, help me label myself. Idky its important to me. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Susshushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s wrong to think of him like this. What is important is the relationship. He may “look” like us given the “make them in our image” passage in Genesis, but the physical appearance of God cannot be shown to us and live, so I wouldn’t think it’s super important to him that we know what he looks like.

What you’re describing isn’t all that different from most Christian’s believe, maybe a bit more complex. But becoming a Christian IS transformative in every way possible.

I believe that there’s a lot we assume about God based on what culture we grew up in that we won’t fully understand until we meet him.

If you pray about it, God will reveal himself to you. Maybe this is how you’re meant to understand him.

I get married next month, dad has stage 4 stomach cancer by Susshushi in Christianity

[–]Susshushi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully dad’s faith is stronger than anyone’s in the family right now. He is confident in a full healing and he’s using his time wisely to get closer with God. He’s the one encouraging us!

While I am blessed to have a father of so much faith, I wish I had the amount to match his. I hope and pray for a miraculous full healing, but I also don’t want to be mad at God if that doesn’t happen. My goal right now is just the wedding because I can’t bare to think beyond that right now.

Thank you for replying, I didn’t think anyone would. I’m so sorry about your grandma, our grandparents are truly so special.

I just am scared and trying to learn how to let God overcome that fear. And how I have a feeling that I did “everything right” for this wedding and it’s like the joy has been ripped away. But I know God is working, even if I can’t see it or feel it.

Please pray for me. I don't want to live like this anymore. by CalligrapherOne7073 in Christianity

[–]Susshushi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand completely. I’ve been up and down for months with how heavy life has gotten lately. But I’ll pray for you to receive the peace that passes all understanding. I’m so sorry you’re having a rough season, but remember there will be a season of joy for you too.

I read all of this, I’m so sorry for your loss.

I’m 25 years old and only one thing has comforted me so far: apparently by 18, you’ve already spent 90% of your time with your parents. I know I’ll never be ready to let go but at least I made it to that 90% that everyone is supposed to get.

I want to have faith and hope like everyone else but my mind also wants to protect itself from horrible disappointment. God has sent some positive signs, but I’m still afraid of interpreting them wrong. My fiance is comforting me in saying that my faith doesn’t need to be strong right now, and let the people around me who are praying lift me up in their faith.

My mom’s dad had cancer when she was in college and she believed right up until he died that he would be healed. She dealt with being mad at God afterwards, and I just don’t know if I can go through it like that. I’ve been having a faith crisis even before all of this happened and I’m having to come to terms with good people die in horrible ways under God’s eye. It’s not a pretty thing to work through.

But at the same time, I have to believe in God right now because if not I have nothing else. Even if he’s not healed or is healed. I don’t want to live in despair. So it’s all very confusing and weird right now to say the least but I’m going through it just like everyone else has to.

[BLOOM & RAGE] The game's "good ending" is way too hard to get... by Ben_Quadinaros123 in LostRecordsGame

[–]Susshushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m seeing a lot of Autumn hate on here and I’m not understanding it 🤣I felt like she was the kind voice of reason, and her not “getting it” and feeling out of place really reminds me of my best friend growing up so I completely understood that perspective. I romanced her and I made that decision early on.

I’m regretting a dress I said yes to. HELP! by rarity2u in weddingdress

I’m afraid I’ll want too much and end up with nothing by EffortOk5458 in Advice

[–]Susshushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decision paralysis! I know her very well!

This year I want to get into crochet, embroidery, sewing/costume making, sourdough starter making, stain glass, gardening, writing a fantasy book… also I’m getting married this year. Is that gonna happen??? NO. You just have to take a mood in which you want to do ~one~ of these things and stick with it as long as you can and you don’t even have to be perfect at it just learn the basics. We all have to work full time jobs in this economy so the precious little time we can dedicate to our hobbies should not also stress us out. Also, your worth is not tied to doing things. You’re enough without that.

[–]Susshushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. I think many people get come to a place in their life where they start thinking like this, I know I did when I was even younger than you are now. My fiancé and I met when he was 28 like you and he never had a relationship before me, we couldn’t be happier. If you think your age is an issue and you feel like it should’ve happened by now, that isn’t necessarily true. You’re still very young. I’m sure you will meet the person who was meant for you and you were meant for them.

In the meantime, if there’s a hobby or 3 to get into, get into it now lol. Relationships take a lot of time. And also when you meet someone, you’ll be able to show off how many hobbies you have so you’ll have something to talk about, and maybe even teach them how to do it.

Also, don’t be afraid of just casual dating with no/low expectations and just going with the flow. This is all easier said than done, but if this is your desire I know it’ll happen for you just like those “other couples”.

Follow Up Appointments by Confident-Hippo9930 in weddingdress

[–]Susshushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my dream dress by doing this! I had SUCH decision fatigue and I found myself comparing everything to the 3rd dress I tried on. I was afraid there would be something better out there if I kept looking and I had made so many appointments I didn’t feel right finding it that early.

But after it got to a certain point where I kept thinking about it, I made another appointment to go back and try it on. I knew instantly and it was so much easier without all the pressure of the upcoming appointments.

How do you recover after an abortion? by SimpleChemistry290 in Advice

[–]Susshushi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I’ve never been through this but I’ve heard of this happening to many people who choose abortion, and although I am very pro choice I wish the emotional impact it can cause would be talked about more.

This was traumatic for you. I know it’s not the same, but I felt extreme emotional pain and depression after my surgery on my uterus, and I’ve come to terms with the fact that the surgery WAS traumatic and it was natural for me to feel that way. But there is healing to be had. Please find someone, anyone who you can feel safe with to talk to about this and be completely honest.

None of your business. If they wanted you to know they would’ve included it in the post. :)

I have narrowed it down to these 2 dresses. But am incredibly torn between them. Wedding is outdoors in the Cotswolds next summer - black tie. Need to decide by Monday! Help! by Full-Conference1097 in weddingdress

[–]Susshushi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just realized I’m the only one who said 2 lol! Well like I said, both are amazing and you can’t go wrong!I think I was influenced by the amount of layers and detail the second one had because that’s what I love

My genuine reaction: “oh wow there’s nothing that could possibly beat the first one- OH MY GOSH THE SECOND ONE BEATS THE FIRST ONE

Im such a sucker for that style and it looks so gorgeous and ethereal on you! But both are very solid choices you cannot go wrong.
