also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

it's so easy to find God everywhere tbh like i touch my hamster's little nose and it's a miracle, and there is God. i brew tea with milk and honey and there is sweetness, and there is God. i ask my security guard if her sickness is improving and she smiles, forgetting to cover her chipped front teeth like she usually does, and there is God. i take a walk and i see pots of flowers alongside the roads, and people laughing in the sun, and hear the motorcycles rumble, and hear the firecrackers pop, and smell the food of the market, and smell the perfume of a stranger, and God sees and hears and smells all these things too, and there He is within them all.

Just realized prayer doesn’t always have to be super formal. God is our FATHER, and we are allowed to speak to him as such. If anything, he probably prefers it when we talk to him more casually. It shows we feel safe with him to be our true selves instead of performing for him. God is the creator of everything, yes, but he is also our Father. He is family.
