June 2023
I feel like it’s been a HOT minute since I wrote the little blurb for the month of May (found here) but at the same time June went by SO fast.. how are we already July?
I haven’t been keeping up with my daily “things that made me happy” in a day or with posting pictures of food I’ve made on @feed-my-sheep.. I’ve just been so busy with life. Part of that being that I got a second job (or should I say, God blessed me and answered my prayers perfectly in regards to getting a second job) and I’ve been trying to just adjust to the way my life is now.
I feel like June was.. the start of something new (I just binged high school musical movies today so the pun is intended here) of things in my life. I also feel like it’s been a HUGE reminder of my past (which was very surprising) and also a reminder of what is to come in the future. It hasn’t been bad per say.. it’s just been.. very busy and overwhelming.. in (mostly) good ways.
I definitely know that God is working on me and some things inside me that need to be dealt with. I KNEW this was going to something that happened when I moved out.. I just didn’t think it was going to start this fast. I feel like a plant that is being re-potted… and even though it hurts.. I know that whatever is done to me is needed for me to grow better.. and I am all for that.
Bring on July.

How do I grow my confidence? I am so insecure >.<
I think the best way to grow your confidence is by meditating on and studying God’s Word. God’s Word tells us of who we are in Christ and the more spend in His Word, the more we meditate on it and speak it over our lives, the more it will shape us in who we are in Him.
This is something I struggle with as I fail to spend time with Him so often and my confidence suffers for it. But it really is the best answer I can give you.

I hope this isn't too strange, coming from a perfect stranger, but could you please pray for me, my mom and her family? My grandpa died tonight, and we all were really close. Thanks
I want you to know that I am very sorry for your loss. I prayed the moment I received this anon.. I know it’s been a hot minute so my apologies.. I hope you and your family are doing better and focusing your eyes on The Lord as He is the ultimate Comforter.

Hi, how do you deal with strong jealousy? All my life I've never experienced something so strong as that, but recently I've felt very jealous towards an ex-group of friends because they seem to have a strong bond going on and I'm, obviously, not included and feel replaced. It makes me feel like my stomach burns and sometimes it even makes me think I want to die (I do not intend to do anything though, they're just thoughts). I've asked God to help me deal with this, to remind myself to put Him first in my life before any earthly thing, and maybe that He can bring new friends that are Christian to my life... Do you have any advice on this?
Hey there! I am sorry you are struggling with/going through this. I honestly don’t think I can give you much advice other than what you’ve done.. which is seek God on the situation.
When I got this anon I was actually HEAVILY struggling with jealousy and I also needed to go to God with it.. in fact tomorrow I have plans to meet with someone at a church I used to go to.. I am SO anxious.. I do NOT want to go.. I even contemplated cancelling.. but I WAS THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED GOING TO THE CHURCH SERVICE TOGETHER. OOF. There are a group of people there.. many people.. that I used to be friends with.. but I too felt that they had a bond that I just couldn’t break through.. (take note I was HEAVILY insecure at the time and ADAMANT no one really liked me and I distanced myself…) I feel really hurt and betrayed by these people.. when reality is.. the road goes both ways and there wasn’t a ton of effort on my end in regards to maintaining the friendships.. either way.. I am really dreading seeing them tomorrow.. so prayers for me would be amazing!
All this to say.. I completely understand.. I am crying as I write this to you because I relate so much. I am still trying to figure it out myself.. Recently God has been bringing up things from my past and it’s just.. really really painful. Evidently He is trying to do something in me and maybe He’s working on something in you as well? But I pray He brings both of us people in our lives that can encourage us in Him.. and that we would be able to forgive and let go of ultimately the people who are no longer in our lives.

This is the anon from the previous question "did stuff" meaning sexual things that are not good in the eyes of God. I tried to tell him before but he thought I was not serious (I blocked him). But now I just decided to not respond. I feel bad but I feel like God is happy with my decision because if I speak to him I can fall back into it.
Hey there! Thanks for doing a follow up with me. I think you were right in your decision to block him/not respond.. especially if sexual things were happening between you two. I can relate to this situation too much except.. in my case I was the one more or less blocked. I really wanted an explanation but at the time it was best for him to completely ignore me. Hurt like idk what.. and sometimes it still was.. but I thank God He gave Him the courage to leave me the way he did… even if it still hurts.
This will allow you both to grow.. I pray he repents and turns to God like you did.
I commend you for doing what you did.. it’s very wise. If you ever need someone to chat with don’t hesitate to message!
