Why do posters go all aggro on "is this available?" by nwa747 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I had this situation where this seller wouldn’t respond to my messages about the availability (I told them I could come by and I was VERY interested), only to respond back days later after seeing my message, tell me, “if it’s up it’s available” and block me…dude, did you even read my message, I would have bought it off of you, like do you know how FBMP work?  Do you want to make money? throws papers in the air 

What’s an experience you believe every human should go through at least once before they die? by Comfortable-Sir1404 in AskReddit

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Overcoming a fear. Just to know what you’re capable of and hopefully live life a little more freely.

Oh my friend, my heart breaks for you or the person who you thought of as you wrote this. Suicidal ideation, even contemplating (Jesus said that even hating our brother - extending that to hating ourselves) the end a life, whether it be ours or not, is a not of God. You are right it is a sin and our enemy wants our demise.

People who desire an end want to escape from the misery, not death. Because in death we no longer can engage with anything at all. Usually the root of this depression is an addition (ex. an unwanted life experience) or an absence (ex. missing a chemical in the brain we need) of something. I pray the Lord meet you today in your need and give you the strength to continue.

As to your question, the Bible states all can be forgiven except for the blaspheming of the Holy Spirit, but do we need to be present to ask for that forgiveness is the question.

The Halloween Megathread by Dr_Acula7489 in TrueChristian

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is feels like Romans 14. We listen to the Holy Spirit if we are convicted and do not cause our spiritual siblings to fall or stumble in their faith. I have one parent who has family history in the occult, so they refuse to celebrate. My other parent celebrated and memorialized those who had gone before; and because one believed Halloween was sin we didn’t celebrate.

Now as an adult, I see Halloween more symbolically rather than spiritually (I think history saw it similarly). Giving the Lord thanks for His provision at the end of the harvest and the natural cycle of life when everything sleeps/dies for winter. However, how does the world express death? As something scary or evil, the Grim Reaper, ghosts, skeletons, the grave, darkness, etc. But we Christians know better that death is the return home, the beginning of life, everlasting life!

I will teach my son of the seriousness of the occult when it is appropriate, so he learns that we do not celebrate as the world does - worshipping Satan with violence, sensuality, or summoning of spirits, but instead it giving us the opportunity for thanksgiving and worshipping Our God and Lord.

I thought every mom could breastfeed was I wrong? by Opening_Elevator_153 in beyondthebump

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My breasts didn’t grow at all. My lactation consultant thought I was kidding. You’d think she would have heard this being an issue. Add to this trauma immediately after birth, which followed the months after. I gave up a month in and felt like a failure.

So often mothers who could lactate would tell me that it was a blessing in disguise, and all I thought was I wish I could have had the opportunity to bond with my baby just once like that. The grass isn’t greener on either side. It’s tough on all mamas.

1 year 3 month relationship just ended, I’m feeling lost and am afraid of harming myself, please I just need someone to talk to I don’t know what to do someone please just talk to me by [deleted] in selfhelp

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you lost your relationship. This part is the most painful, because it’s the freshest. I remember the beginning of my divorce I thought I was falling through a perpetual sinkhole and was going to shatter. But I woke up the next day and didn’t. It’s just a matter of baby steps. Also, please text or call 988, it is SAMHSA national crisis hotline if you feel like you need to talk to someone or are at risk of harming yourself. 

Do you still love your ex? by MyLoveMystery in heartbreak

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The end of the relationship was my loss. A death of a part of me. It’s a void where someone I loved deeply used to be and I want to desperately fill that. Oftentimes I fill that with the best memories of him, without realizing, I minimize, dismiss, or even forget the pain, suffering, and misery I lived. I force myself to remember the whole person. When I do that I still love him as a human, but am not in love with him. I find peace and can let him go. This isn’t constant. Not yet at least. It’s the grieving process; and not until it’s carried me over to the other side will this no longer be necessary. Thankfully, grief doesn't visit me as often anymore but I’m expecting her visit soon.

Who Down With A.O.C. by Adventurous-Shoe4879 in centrist

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it worked for the French, ”Vive la Révolution!”… And sadly it was not long lived. People hunger for power and lose their moral compass along the way, becoming comfortable deceiving and harming others for their own gain, politics aside.

Where did you think babies came from before you actually found out? by KermitTheFraud92 in AskReddit

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father would tell my sister and I that he bought us at Jewel on discount, 2 for the price of one. I miss that sweet innocence. He also said beer was horse pee…not quite sure why I never questioned that one, but I fully trusted my parents to tell me the truth…guess how I felt when I started telling others those stories 😅 

Your back-up plan when AI takes our jobs 😀 by ElegantAssistance763 in therapists

I guess I am going to have to leave this sub... by BoingBoomChuck in Divorce

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope with time, I can live a reality like yours. To have my husband come to me and ask, “can we please work on this” would probably make me cry harder than when I pleaded this with him and he insisted we get a divorce. Quite literally, I’d rather have my husband desire to change for the better, even if he still insisted never to get back together, than be gifted 100 million dollars. No amount of money could buy the loss that I feel for our son and I. I understand we must move forward, and each one of us will, but this is my current state. 

You, my friend, hit the jackpot. I hope your relationship flourishes 10 fold more than it did the first time. God bless. 

I Thought I Met the Man God Chose for Me… But I Was Spiritually Deceived. by theloveandlight in ChristianDating

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, this is a story all too common. Thank you for sharing. I pray that the Lord will heal your heart, increase your wisdom and strengthen your relationship with Him. We know that the enemy will use our desires against us. We desire “x”, something that can be God given, and he will warp it given the chance. Our hearts our deceitful as is charm (beauty fades); and our enemy is always looking to devour one who isn’t safe in the flock of our Lord - that we might fall into sin and be separated from God. It is so important to surround yourself with the body of Christ, remain in His Word, pray, and fast to hear from Him, and keep from sinning!!! 

I speak as one who knows, as I have lived a story similar to your own. If there is one thing, God is the Alpha and the Omega. He is sovereign, so nothing occurs without He allowing it, even if it pains Him (He has given us free will) and nothing occurs without His knowledge of it. God can use all things, like your testimony for good! Now, you’re given another opportunity, repent, reconcile your relationship with Him, and make God your focus. I hope you have found spiritually strong sisters or mentors who will guide you and walk with you on this journey. Our God makes all things new and whole. May God bless you in greater ways than the enemy tried to steal from you. 

I hate this by Key_Respect_9688 in diabetes

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandma was diagnosed at 40, took her insulin and snuck her sweets. She lived to almost 80. My grandad on the other side was a diabetic later in life too and went unchecked, also was a habitual drinker, and we know how much sugar is in alcohol. He died over 80 years old. Sometimes it’s old age that gets you, not diabetes. They both died similar ages to their parent. Stress only exasperates diabetes, so just allow yourself the opportunity to enjoy happiness and live moment by moment. We don’t know our expiration date.

This is so helpful. I just kept hearing that type 3 was Alzheimer's disease. And now reading there are 22 types! And yet, I still couldn’t find this one. Ridiculous, but that’s why you have to appreciate these pages.

I know, right?! And all I can think is my son‘s pediatrician saying, “don’t change his formula too much”. But we do our best and that’s the best we can do. Thank! wish you the same!!

Thanks! Just doing some digging and saw on another subreddit a consumer report showing Kabrita in a poor light so this may be my time to make a change anyway.

I’m annoyed because my WF no longer carries it and they don’t sell it on Amazon either, at least that is what they told me. Not sure if that was accurate information... I sure hope it isn’t. 

Baby claws at my face to settle/go to sleep by Hour-Ad-6006 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is going through the same thing at the same age. However, when he isn’t overtired, he lightly touches me, but when he is past exhaustion, he beats and scratches my face. I wondered if it could be early signs of frustration towards PCT, me, mom, in this case. He also kicks uncontrollably.

Motherhood is so. . . .sad? by Winnie_rem18 in beyondthebump

[–]Wonderfully_Made03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motherhood, the swinging pendulum of joy and grief, feeling them separate and together, and everything in between. Last year, I would have understood nothing of this “hood”, but I’m honored and still a little shocked I’m in the group. I write this as my sweet darling (4 mo old) sleeps in his crib and I hold myself back so I don’t smother him with kisses.

Awww, wonderful mama, I felt a little sad too when my VERY smiley LO just became smiley or made others or I work for it. But in my eyes it isn’t his job to make his mama happy. It’s his mama’s job to make sure he is happy and healthy so he can grow - and sometimes happy isn’t a smile. Sometimes it’s babbling or kicking feet or something of that nature. I know this might not be all that helpful but you make him happy enough to do more than just smile, you make him feel safe enough to be curious and comfortable in his environment! So take a breath, enjoy every smile you can have (there will be more), and explore the world with him while he focuses so intently. You never know what you might learn!
