"Anyone who walks with wise people grows wise. But a companion of foolish people suffers harm."

PROVERBS 13:20

*Finger snaps on finger snaps* 💞💞

I am in the world but I am not of the world. Realizing that has made my life improve tremendously. I will not try to blend in, my uniqueness symbolizes freedom from the herd mentality, I was custom made and not mass produced.

“You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.”

— Annie Dillard

Looking back, makes you smart. Looking forward, makes you mature. Looking down, makes you wise. Looking UP, makes you strong.

“Jesus is a lot of wonderful and amazing things, but one thing He is not: He is not made in your image. You are made in His image.”

— Judah Smith

God knows. He knows your situation, your fears and your anguish… and He will answer when the time comes. So keep, praying, keep believing.

God has really done some serious purification since I first entered secondary school. If I could meet my past self I'd give her a big teddy bear hug and let her know all the pain will be worth it. Although the flames will still burn the same. It's all been worth it. I constantly need to remind myself now at 17. The vulnerability I've grown into with God would suprise past me. I talk to him openly as my friend. Slang, eyerolls, tears and all. And he listens. He cares about every second of it! Even the things which aren't actually that imooetsnt. He doesn't deny my emotions. He doesn't make me feel invalid for them. What a friend I have in Jesus.

forever grateful i’m not who i used 2 be

Hosea 10:12

If you plant goodness, you will harvest faithful love. Plow your ground, and you will harvest with the Lord. He will come, and he will make goodness fall on you like rain.

May I be released from wanting anything that isn’t meant for me.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Wishing is not enough; we must do. -Johann Von Goethe

We feel the pain and loss now, and we do not see the end from the beginning, as God does, yet God tells us that the sufferings we have to endure in this world are not worthy to be compared with the glory He has laid up for His people in heaven (Rom. 8:18).

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

To partake in pornography is abusive to yourself because it will cause you shame. It also shows you don’t understand your identity. You are worth more than that. The people you are selfishly gratifying your passions through are worth more than that. Dive into your God given identity and educate yourself on the God-given value of every individual made in the image of God.

If you use pornography, there is grace. There is freedom. There is forgiveness. There is deliverance. I declare the victory I have received from God over you and declare that you are cleansed now and continually from sin by the blood of Jesus.

😂😂 The truth He gives is hard to swallow at times but it's not any less necessary!

That’s how it be lol

I aint gonna articulate this right but I’ve noticed there’s this weird sub culture on tumblr where it’s frowned upon to say anything positive about your life. Like occasionally I see someone post something like “I love my job so much” and a few responses are like “wish I could find a job :/” or “must be nice to not have depression” and it’s really strange. A lot of people are pulling themselves out of dark places or finally figuring out how to be happy (no easy feat) and they don’t need you projecting your own demons on their moments of happiness they wanted to share.
