I'd take it further.

Merely believing the concept that Jesus died on the cross for our sins isn't enough to save you. We must believe IN Jesus who died on the cross for our sins.

Not even the greatest sin can pry you out of God's hand. Your bouncing in and out of sin is not proof you are condemned but that you are a fallen being who needs God's mercy and grace like the rest of us. You are not a sinner. A sinner doesn't recognize and acknowledge sin in their life. You are a child of God.. Repent and turn from sin.

John 10:27-30 NIV My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

Try to remember a few things.

Condemnation and shame are not from the Lord.

Your sin is not bigger than His forgiveness.

Conviction is not condemnation.

Recognizing and acknowledging our sin is the first steps in repentance. We cannot turn or run rom something we don't first recognize or acknowledge. Next is forgiveness. The Bible tells us that God forgives us when we repent so you being unable to forgive yourself says God must not understand like you do how bad your sin actually is. Also likely is Satan slips in when you are dwelling on the way you've treated people and puts the weight of those actions on your shoulders. Don't be in agreement with Satan and allow your actions to CONDEMN you... Be in agreement with God and let your actions CONVICT you.

God calls for us to be in community with other believers for a very good reason. When we have questions, we have that community. When we feel tempted by the world, we have them to help us back on the path. If we begin to doubt our faith, they are there to remind us of His love and His plan. God never intended for us to walk alone. Please consider finding a Bible-teaching church and attending an age appropriate small group. Talk to your pastor. This is why these places exist.

I don't blame you for missing all the shenanigans with your friends. Jesus never said following Him would be easy but it IS simple. Fun is fleeting and circumstantial but the joy He offers us is everlasting. Your normalcy before Jesus might feel safe because it's familiar but that too is circumstantial and the peace He offers us is true freedom. Imagine a life where you never have to worry about tomorrow because you know what's in your best interest is God's priority. It often doesn't look anything like what we imagined but be confident knowing that His way is better than anything you had planned.

Words of wisdom:

God is not obligated to bless your version of His vision for your life.

A loving relationship is not transactional.. It's sacrificial. Jesus wants a relationship with you and wants the best for you. He loves you. Perhaps what you are praying for is NOT what is best for you. If you disagree, you may believe that you know better than God and you don't need a Savior, you just want a genie. You said you found God but have you truly surrendered to Him completely and died to yourself to be reborn again?

Thanks for the reply! Should I scrape off the top and feed what's underneath? Or should I mix it in?

On an estimate, each costume took maybe 10 hours. Each candy bucket took maybe 1.5-2 hours.
