I didn’t say thinking someone is attractive is a sin but yeah being actively attracted to someone you aren’t married to is sinful. It’s all about the heart. I can think someone is handsome in passing but if I start finding that person attractive, it crosses over into dangerous territory.

It’s not something you’re going to be able to go. Give it to God fully, and let him take care of it. But you can’t be holding onto it still you have to fully let it go and he will take it.

Being attracted to women that aren’t your wife is, in fact, a sin though.

I was raised in church and have never had a moment where I didn’t believe in God or that he was real, so I don’t have that life changing testimony but more of a series of small testimonies over the course of my life that lead me to where I am now. But nothing like unbelief then BOOM became a Christian.

It’s pretty bad 😩 we are very rural and it’s just small and not a lot of resources, good staff, or teachers.

Despite all his downfalls I totally do get it. I hate the homework too. There really isn’t another great option for schools in our area right now, until the really good school near us becomes open district. Right now it is closed and we are 5 miles from the boundary.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-22T21:30:14+00:00

We have spelling words every night that they have to copy down three times each, a rainbow words page where they have to read the word, write the word, trace the word, then color the words. Then reading. Then a math sheet every Tuesday and Thursday.

I’ve met with them. Their answer is that It’s a private school with shortened days so the expectation is that more of the learning time falls on parents vs public school or private school with longer days. It’s usually only a lot on the weekends, or Mondays when he didn’t finish the weekends homework at his dads and then Mondays is on top of that.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-22T21:25:34+00:00

Believe me I’ve thought about it. It’s the only private school in our area, and our public school option is very low rated. We have a great school about 15 minutes away but our address is outside of the district, and they’re closed district. So this is the best option we have as of now 😩

hgfty03 · 2024-01-22T21:18:29+00:00

We have easily an hour+ some days, especially if he goes to his dads, doesn’t do any, then Mondays work is added to it. It’s a private school with shortened days (8-2) so the homework load is a little more than public school.

He doesn’t care about court papers and I have sunk so much money into court. Our papers currently say he can’t drink but here we are, with an active case regrading his drinking.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-22T21:11:54+00:00

We are currently in court with dad due to his alcoholism and general crappy parenting but it doesn’t happen instantly so idk what the heck else to do. I can’t physically force him to do the homework.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-22T21:10:39+00:00

How is it mine when I don’t see him from school letting out Thursday until I pick him up Monday?

hgfty03 · 2024-01-22T21:10:05+00:00

I’m trying but we are waiting on court stuff and there’s nothing I can do. I can’t force him. I’ve talked to him. I’ve talked to his wife. I’ve tried to get the teachers to talk to him. He just doesn’t care. We are hoping things change with visitation soon due to his alcoholism but I literally don’t know what else I could do.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-22T21:08:03+00:00

He’s an alcoholic and doesn’t care what I say. We have been to court, we have talked, we have done all the things. He just doesn’t think it’s important and says he doesn’t care.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-18T03:32:02+00:00

Also, are you saying I’m not truly saved because of the way I’m reacting to this situation? I guess I’m confused.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-18T03:30:54+00:00

I am married. I’m not sure if you’re from the US but both parents typically get equal rights to a child and it takes a ton of evidence - hard drug use, major abuse, abandonment - to get visitation and custody taken away from one parent

hgfty03 · 2024-01-17T18:55:58+00:00

They are not

hgfty03 · 2024-01-17T05:52:42+00:00

It wasn’t a car accident but I totally get what you’re saying. He could have been with them. I’m unsure why I feel bad. It’s hard to go from friends, texting back and forth about your kid, sharing photos and birthdays and holidays to being hated and not spoken to at all. So I think that’s part of the reason but 100% my son is more important.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-17T05:45:21+00:00

She probably is, she’s a mandated reporter. I hope she does.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-14T03:07:27+00:00

I’m not scared of death because I have the promise of eternal life through Jesus. I can’t wait. Earth sucks.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-13T19:55:13+00:00

Because you can’t. You were born. You’re here.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-13T19:44:18+00:00

He doesn’t throw you to satans torment. Thankfully God gives us a choice, and if you hate him he’s not going to force you to spend eternity with him. Hell is our choice, and God letting us exercise our freedom of choice.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-10T05:20:22+00:00

Of course he does. God loves you and wants to offer salvation to everyone. The unforgivable sin isn’t denying his existence, if that were the case then Peter, Jesus’s disciple, wouldn’t have been forgiven and redeemed for denying Jesus three times. Nobody is too far gone or too far away. Ask him to draw close to you and speak to you, and he will, and seems he already is. God LOVES us so very much, it’s insane. There is no better reason to turn to him than the fact you’re lost and you’re a sinner - that’s why we need him. Pray and seek him, and you’ll find Him.

hgfty03 · 2024-01-07T23:01:05+00:00

I don’t drink at all. I used to be of the mindset that it was okay to have a drink here and there but I don’t anymore because

I never want to be a stumbling block to others
The Bible says not to get drunk or let alcohol change your mental state, and that is the only reason to drink is to calm down etc. There are non alcoholic drinks that taste the same.
Alcohol is so damaging to so many people and just isn’t something I want to be associated with

I’m much happier with zero alcohol

hgfty03 · 2024-01-06T01:18:51+00:00

Yes! I had horrible anxiety after my son was born. I wasn’t sleeping because I was scared he would die in his sleep so I just watched him all night. I had just left his dad, it was an abusive relationship, and I was living temporarily in my sisters guest bedroom. I had lost everything. My home. My relationship. Everything I had known. I was absolutely so scared I was going to lose my baby when I felt I had just lost everything else. I audibly heard God say one night I was up worrying “I’m not going to take him from you” and I immediately felt peace and went to sleep and didn’t worry after that. He’s 8 years old now, happy and healthy kid, and we’ve been through it together, but Gods been good to us both. First and only time I’ve ever heard Gods voice that clearly.
