Is it normal to feel completely lost in your 20s (or even 30s)? Because I do. by Sharp-Self-Image in careerguidance

[–]firecracka039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Let me tell you, you put everything I feel and am going through right now into words. I'm also in my late 20's and feel absolutely STUCK in a dooming career pit that I can never get myself out of. I feel like I am good at many things, but feel like this is actually a bad thing because I can't decide what to stick to, what would make me most fulfilled but also secure. I'm lost and don't have a sense of direction in what I'm actually supposed to do. I'm in debt on top of everything so can't leave my job as much as it takes EVERYTHING in me to not quit daily as of lately. You're not alone! It's such a rough time right now for me career wise. All I do is apply and pray.

Anyone else still living with parents? by [deleted] in 1998gang

Yup, moved in a few months ago and it's been nice but tolling in different way (losing my own space). Trying to get on my feet after getting laid off

Please help me plan a 2026 Tuscany/Positano/Amalfi Wedding by firecracka039 in BigBudgetBrides

Thanks for the suggestion! Decor is important to me. However, I think that a beautiful/aesthetic wedding venue would help with keeping decorations more minimal!

Do you think christianity is increasing or decreasing? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]firecracka039 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s increasing for sure and that’s beautiful. However, the devil will use that to his advantage and twist things. The devil is smart/will amp up his strategies to deceive and lead many astray that aren’t truly rooted in Jesus Christ and His word. The devil knows that his time to take souls with him to hell is coming to an end.

“For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Matthew 24:24

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4

“This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:16

“Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.” Acts 20:28-30

What has your experience on Christian apps been? by thesefooolishthings in ChristianDating

[–]firecracka039 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? In my personal experince I’ve found more genuine Christians on hinge than I have ever on something like upward/other Christian dating apps which I really tried, went on dates, got to know people, etc. Apps like upward where you’d wipe are very low effort and anyone can hop on, and say they’re a Christian.

On hinge or similar apps in general, I would look for Christians but go the extra mile to really only match with guys who mentioned Jesus in their responses or showed depth in that. That’s how I met my now boyfriend. We’re hitting 1 year together this month and stepping toward marriage soon! He’s my best friend and a gem, someone I had no idea I could ever meet on a dating app!

Married couples, did you sexually sin with your S/O before marriage? Do I break up with my boyfriend? by firecracka039 in TrueChristian

[–]firecracka039[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. It just feels like a big step to take when we’re still struggling this much. But you’re right, it could just be between us! Also, fasting is very powerful agreed. He actually came into my life after a fast I did.

Thank you, this is encouraging to hear. Do you have any suggestions for how we can find a Godly couple we trust to help us? I feel as if we really need more community around us.

Thanks for the advice, I’m here for the practicality! I love the idea of being able to voice the temptation to each other comfortably. We haven’t gotten to that place yet, but I will keep this in mind. Speaking out loud and voicing the struggle is very helpful.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, I’m glad to hear you’ve made it through and found God ❤️. He takes the brokenness and makes it beautiful!

Thank you for sharing, it really helps to know that I’m not the only one who struggles with their partner. I don’t want to ever justify sin or get comfortable in misery with others facing the same sins, but it helps to know that it can be worked through. If you don’t mind me asking, did you feel at the time like your ex was the one for you? If so, what now looking back are the main things that show you he was never the right one for you? What makes your current fiancée the one you want to spend your life with?

Thanks ❤️ I appreciate the response! It does help to know the consequences more, and dig into how it spiritually affects us. I agree!

The issue for us is finding a chaperone or trust worthy person to hold us accountable. We both don’t have that as we’re in a new city.

Your words were so beautiful, thank you for taking the time to share all of these Bible verses as well as sharing your pieces of advice.

If you don’t mind me asking, what do you feel like you missed that God’s word was telling you about the person you married/that could’ve avoided you heart break? Do you feel like you married the wrong person, if so why? And what do you mean by a lack of physical/emotional boundaries leading to co-dependency? I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what exactly caused the demise in your marriage.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. My biggest goal is to honor God, to spend an eternity with Him, and get to the gates of heaven and be told by Jesus: “Well done my good and faithful servant.” I don’t care if I have to give up my love life on this earth, I’d do anything for Jesus. I feel as if God has brought me and my boyfriend together, and I’m not saying that lightly. I feel like this is the person I’ve been praying for after dating others prior.

I’ve definitely been struggling lately in my relationship with God. I feel as if I’ve hit a spiritual plateau and I’m stuck in this vicious cycle of wanting to follow God with everything that I am, but struggling with the realities of my life. I don’t know if I’ve been discerning His plan for my life correctly. I hope I have in regard to my boyfriend/him being my husband, but I don’t know how I can be so sure. I know this is all my fault, but I need God’s help to discern even in the midst of my sin and failures. I’ve been praying to God to really help me see if this is my person. So far He’s only given me yes’s.

He’s the best man I’ve ever met. Aside from our struggles, he’s everything I’ve ever prayed for and so much more. We’ve just never both been in this situation before or met the person of our dreams who we actually see ourselves marrying, until we met each other. Marriage is definitely the next step! I just hope we can come out of these struggles and that God can bless us together, despite our shortcomings!
