OKAY I just now was thinking how cool it was that Sir Pentious is the FIRST to be redeemed BECAUSE like. The devil takes the form of a SNAKE when tempting Eve and it’s like—a snake being the first one redeemed? Delicious—!! Full circle!

I just think that’s neat.

She said our Christian race is like rowing. We can’t see the finish line at all but we have to trust God and His plan to get us to the finish line and keep pressing on just like the rowers have to trust their coxswain and his process.

Imma go ahead and share this hehe. So this piece I made was for a ditys on insta a while back—for someone who did a ditys of their Jonathan art! Their Jonathan design was interesting, and I loved him 💕 The red and dark blue looks great on him! This excited me as well, to do a Jonathan ditys!! Eeeee!! I honestly enjoyed redrawing their amazing, spectacular Jonathan art into my stylee 😌✨✨

Hehe

Noah: ptsd (the drinking and God telling everyone to back off about it)

Whatever situation you are currently in, know that it is not the end. The Author of your life holds tomorrow in His hands.

Seek Him and find rest.

I know a lot of people say the Bible says this and is therefore a ridiculous book to follow, but I'm going to show why that's dishonest and also explain the meaning and importance of those verses.

-----

The verses in question are

Leviticus 19:19

"You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with another kind: you shall not sow your field with mixed seed: neither shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you."

And

Deuteronomy 22:11

"You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, as of woolen and linen together."

-----

It's specifically and only linen and wool God commanded not to mix in a garment.

But why is this important?

This is actually talking about a person's character rather than their clothes.

When you marry someone, you become clothed with their nature. When you unify with someone, you become clothed with their nature. As Christians, we are clothed with Jesus' righteousness.

God is saying be clothed with either linen or wool, but not both.

Linen comes from the flax plant while wool comes from sheep. One is from the ground and the other is from an animal. Cain worked with plants while Abel tended a herd. So linen represents Cain's offering and wool represents Abel's offering. Abel offered God his firstlings and additionally the fat of them, while Cain did not give the best offering he could. Abel was selfless and Cain was selfish. So God is telling us here to be married to Selflessness or be married to Selfishness, but don't be adulterous by flip flopping between the two. Be hot or cold, but don't be lukewarm. The choice is ours, but he DOES tell us which one to choose.

He was 21 in 1944.

He was hope and he was courage on a lonely shore.

Sent there by a mother with love beyond her tears.

Just a young American who chose to rise above his fears.

And as I watch him struggle up that hill

Without a thought of turning back

I cannot help but wonder.

What did he die for when he died for you and me?

He made the sacrifice so that we could all be free.

I believe we will answer each to Heaven

For the way we spend a priceless liberty.

Look inside and ask the question

What did he die for when he died for me?

(Then she switches to Jesus)

To the darkest day in A.D. 33

Came the mercy and compassion of eternity.

Sent there by a Father with love beyond his tears.

Blameless One, the Only Son,

To bear the guilt of all these years.

And as I watch Him struggle up that hill

Without a thought of turning back,

I cannot help but wonder,

What did He die for when He died for you and me?

He made the sacrifice so that we could all be free.

I believe we will answer each to heaven

For the way we spend a priceless liberty.

Look inside and ask the question,

What did He die for?

He died for freedom.

He died for love.

And all the things we do to pay Him back

Will never be enough.

What did He die for when He died for you and me?

He made the sacrifice so that we could all be free.

I believe we will answer each to Heaven

For the way we spend a priceless liberty.

Look inside and ask the question,

What did He die for

When He died for me?
