I enjoy watching Spongebob as an adult, I really appreciate Spongebob and Patrick's relationship. Quite wholesome and squish. Presently, I think one of my favorite scenes was when they were making a Mermaid & Barnacleboy movie and they were having a good time writing the script.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. Psalm 48:1
Recently, I had a fall and I fractured my hip. I had to undergo surgery. While I was lying in the hospital bed all I could think of was, how good the Lord Jesus has been in my life. Great is His faithfulness!
I experienced the love of Jesus through the expert care of the doctors, nurses and the hospital staff, and furthermore through the overwhelming love, care and support of my family- my husband, my children, sisters cousins, aunts and friends. They prayed for me and rose up to meet my physical needs as well.
The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made. Psalm 145:9
As finite beings, we can scarcely comprehend what is going on in our lives especially when crisis hits. But we can rest assured, that we are safe in the hand of Jesus and that He will carry us through. And through it all, His love, mercy and grace will enable us to praise Him at all times. " Great is our Lord!"

‭1 Samuel 17:45-47 (NIV)‬. “David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
“Defeating Our Goliaths” by In Touch Ministries:
“Faith habits prepare us for the inevitable battles that come.”
“Life’s “Goliaths” come in all shapes, sizes, and intensities: an unhappy relationship, a difficult job, a pile of debt. In today’s passage, David faced what appeared to be an insurmountable problem, but he was victorious through God’s power. We can be, too.
David declared victory over Goliath before the battle even began (v. 46). His confidence was rooted in his past experiences with the Lord. What’s more, David believed triumph was certain because he came in the name of the Lord. As a shepherd, he’d spent hours alone in the wilderness, listening to God’s voice. Even a giant’s discouraging shout couldn’t shake his convictions about who God was and what He could do through His servant.
David had practical faith habits. A strong relationship with the Lord developed from spending time in His presence. This in turn enabled David to face problems with certainty that he was a beloved child of God, with full access to his Father’s storehouses of power, courage, and wisdom. If doubts ever arose, he could look back on God’s great faithfulness in past troubles.
To be victorious, we should practice David’s spiritual habits. Spend time with God and keep a record of His work in your life. Then you can be confident that He is sufficient, no matter the obstacle.”

Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting?

For those still thinking that you can be pro-LGBTQ or a gay Christian and still be a bible believing Christian, you literally can't.
You're either one or the other; not both. Homosexuality is still a sin. It doesn't lead to any amount of human flourishing. Doesn't contribute to the 'survival of the fittest' or any other materialistic naturalistic arguments that could be cropped up.
Sin is still sin regardless if its accepted in the society or not. Do I hate lgbtq folk? Nope, but I know people will call me every evil name under the sun because I point out that they live in sin which so happens to be apart of their identity. Ergo, that makes me look like I hate the person. But I don't!
I just see sin and call it as it is. Do I struggle with sin in my own life? Of course, all Christians still struggle with our out of place desires and selfish quirks but we fight. Not by our own strength but by the strength of God Himself; we do not have the power to resist sin on our own. Even in our own sanctification depends on the Spirit of God; not us.
But at the end of the day, you gotta love one or the hate the other. Which one will you choose? Hint: it's not both.

Why yes, I did immediately redraw the one from last week. The design and composition here was what I was originally going to do, but then that didn't happen. So now I have drawn it as it was supposed to be.

How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:7
When you are fearful, when you are sick, when you have nothing or nobody to lean on, when things seem hopeless, you can run to God.
We can take refuge in the shadow of His wings. And when we do that, just like a hen gathers up her chicks under her wings when threatened, God gathers us under His wings. Here there is safety, there is provision, there is love, joy and peace.
Pray: Heavenly Father, thank you for taking care of me. Your unfailing love is priceless. Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. I take refuge in You, safe from the raging storms. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no human may boast before God. But it is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written: ‘LET THE ONE WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.’”
1 Corinthians 1:27-31

Nearly everyone believes God is loving, but there is considerable debate over the width, length, hight and depth of his love. For many, God's love is limited and conditional, offered to some but not others... Grace is God's commitment to love us regardless.

"Glory follows afflictions, not as the day follows the night but as the spring follows the winter; for the winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory."
