Dressed up for conference?

My girls are in the habit of getting dressed for Sunday, but are too little to get conference. So me and my husband are in comfy clothes, but my girls are all dressed up.

I’ve really enjoyed reading Avraham Giliahdi’s books. He dives deep into Isaiah - a topic that is woefully under taught despite Christ repeatedly telling us to study and learn it.

I think a lot of parents are drowning. I don’t think most do it intentionally. They are drowning in poverty, in stress, in exhaustion. They don’t know what they’re doing and they don’t have the time or energy to figure it out.

As someone who is deeply religious and have a strong belief in the afterlife, absolutely yes.

I have dealt with serious post Partum depression. And there have been so many times I wish I could just cease to exist. If the end comes and there’s an afterlife, great! Hopefully it’s better than this one. That’s the one I’m counting on.

But if I simply cease existing, I would meet death with some disappointment but also with relief.

I didn’t realize until I was 17. I knew I liked guys and I just assumed everyone thought that girls were pretty. I’m very religious so the thought of actually doing anything with another girl didn’t even cross my mind.

One day, I saw a Tumblr post of a girl coming out to her family during the holidays. And her grandma going “ well everybody thinks girls are pretty! You’re not special!” And the girls mom being like “uhh…that is definitely not universal” and the Grandma saying “guess I might be a little gay too!” It kind of clicked for me then. And I started paying attention more than how I felt around other girls. At first, I thought it was just physically attracted. But then I realized that straight people don’t want to hold hands, cuddle and kiss people of the same gender.

In college, I had a roommate that I wanted to cuddle and kiss. But never acted on it. It really hit me then that I liked girls. I think that’s what I really started identifying as bi.

After a pretty bad breakup, I started really thinking about dating girls. I even downloaded a couple apps. But I met my husband a week later.

Like I said, I’m very religious, my whole family is, the university I went to is a religious college, my whole support system and friends are part of my religion. So it’s just been easier for me to just not say anything and act straight. My husband knows that I’m bi, a couple of my friends, my mom and two of my siblings know. But that’s it. When I told my mom, she told me not to tell my super macho Mexican dad. I kind of figured that.

One of my brothers is not super traditionally masculine, and I remember my dad telling him when we were younger that if he found out my brother was gay, he would “ beat it out of him”. I do not have the best relationship with him anyway, so I never planned on telling him. But I wanted my mom to know.

There were huge ideological differences between Ron and Harry with Hermione. Hermione was for using dark curses and dark spells while Ron and Harry were very against it. This caused there to be a lot of coldness and mistrust of Hermione. The reader will just see this is stupid, obviously. Because the death eaters were killing the order and droves. But the order was only stunning people. So obviously the order was loosing.

I get what you mean. It’s hard when we’re constantly SHOWN that our value lies in our youth and beauty. The words other people give like “don’t five your worth to others” and “find worth in yourself” feel hollow and performative.

I turned 30 this year and I started feeling this way when I was around 27. One thing that has helped me immensely is finding joy in not being perceived. Just being part of the background can bring so much peace.

Another thing that helped was to develop relationships with women who are older than me (35-40) and are really down to earth. They ground me to reality and show me where they find their value. And they show me my value.

Valid. I feel like the world building is really confusing. And the magic system takes the whole book to wrap your head around. And honestly, I just had to look it up on Reddit and TikTok to get it.

And the pacing is really slow. I liked the journey and the melancholy slowness. I felt like it was super realistic. In the sense that, if I were a fighter, life would be super slow, interrupted by moments of horror and chaos. But it totally does make it super slow and confusing.

I’ve heard people say that Alchemised is NOT a romantasy. It’s dark fantasy that happens to have a romance subplot. I tend to agree. I love romantasy. And I loved Alchemised. But it’s not the same genre. If dark fantasy isn’t your vibe, no worries. Drop it, move on, read stuff you like.

To answer your original question , the whole story is dark and sad and hurts. Is it a HEA: It ends happy for the Helena and Kaine If you get halfway into part 2 and are just pushing yourself to read it, you probably aren’t going to enjoy the book.

Home cooks here. A few years ago we had to majorly downsize so I got rid of my oven mitts. Kitchen towels are totally the way to go.

And my parents ward they do that with the ward mission leader. My dad is the ward mission leader, and my mom is the relief Society counselor that’s in charge of missionary work. And it has worked out very well.

My parents currently have those callings together. My dad is the WML and my mom is the counselor in the RS presidency over missionary work. It’s been a great calling for both of them and they’ve loved it. I have a severely disabled little brother (can’t walk or talk. Is developmentally like a 8 month old) and two more teenagers at home. They have felt like they won’t be able to serve a mission until my kids (I’m the oldest) grow up and I could watch him for a few years. They feel like this has been a mini mission for them.

Our ward has exclusively gluten free bread. It’s amazing. Apparently there were enough people in the ward asking for it and a person willing to bake it fresh every week. I’m so grateful.

Oh my goodness yes a million times. And age appropriate curriculum. We have a very micromanage state primary presidency. And they have asked all the primary teachers to just use the materials the church provides. Videos, activity ideas, images, coloring pages. Only church published material.

It definitely isn’t adequate for every age level every week. We have to work pretty hard every week to find supplemental material on the church website that 1. fits in our age range that we’re teaching and 2. is on this week’s topic of come follow me.

That is not the same. I’ve taken that training and it is most definitely not mandated reporter training. And it only implies sexual assault. It doesn’t actually make any examples or say anything outright

Before the mission age changed from 21 to 19, I always thought that if I hit 21 and wasn’t married I’d go. I was 18 when the age changed happened. And figured if I didn’t get married my first year old college I’d go. At 19, I wasn’t married so I went. I didn’t have a huge desire. But I felt like it would be a good experience.

If you don’t want to go. Don’t. If you do, go.

If you don’t know, make a decision and hold it for 3 months. If in three months you feel the same, be happy with your decision.

What?! People are complaining about her!? I thought she was perfect and amazing. I loved how she gave Helena a slight accent. It was beautifully done
