Maybe it sounds strange, but I believe that God is currently preparing me to find my future husband.

I always had the feeling that I wasn't ready yet. Two months ago I started praying for my future husband... I prayed that God would protect him, help him get closer to God and that he would have a good time until we find each other. I have never asked God to send him to me because I felt that is was not the time for it.

Today was the first time I felt the deep need to pray specifically for my future husband... that God would send him to me and for the first time I felt that I really am ready. That there is room in my life and that I am now the woman my future husband will need.

I remember praying and asking God to meet someone that would love me at my weight. Someone that would look past me being overweight and love me for me.. but not only that.. someone that would (when the time came) encourage me in pursuing my weight loss goals. Not once has my boyfriend looked at me and disgustingly told me I need to lose weight. Not once has he made me feel like I was less of a person for struggling with food and my weight etc.. My past on the other hand has definitely made things difficult.. telling me because I'm overweight I am unattractive to him and that he would never want to be with me physically (after marriage of course).. that I would never be good enough. It's been a struggle.. but my boyfriend has been nothing but loving. He's let's me be me.. is patient with me, loves me where I'm at and encourages me through the process. Tonight I shared some weight loss progress with him.. tonight he told me he was VERY proud of me (to be honest he's told me he's proud of me on other occasions for different reasons). The last couple of days I've just really noticed how encouraging he has been to me through this process.. and I realized.. he is an answer to prayer.. and I am so in love with him.. but God for blessing me with him.

Many modern theologians have taken a more progressive view on the Biblical definition of marriage while still others say that they are outdated and need to be left in the past. Today, we’re jumping right into the controversy as we see what the Bible really says about marriage.

silence lack of communication quotes

Introduction:

In the tapestry of relationships, communication serves as the thread that weaves hearts together, fostering understanding, intimacy, and connection. However, when communication falters and silence ensues, it can create rifts, misunderstandings, and emotional distance. In this blog post, we'll explore lack of communication in relationship quote  and the importance of fostering open, honest communication in relationships.

"Silence can speak volumes, carrying the weight of unspoken words and unexpressed emotions. In the absence of communication, misunderstandings thrive, and hearts drift apart." - Unknown

2: The Dance of Misunderstandings

"In the dance of relationships, silence is the choreographer of misunderstandings. When communication falters, assumptions arise, and the intricate steps of connection become muddled in confusion." - Unknown

3: The Ripple Effect of Silence

"Silence, like a stone cast into a pond, creates ripples that echo throughout the depths of a relationship. In its wake, unresolved emotions linger, and the bonds of trust and intimacy fray." - Unknown

4: The Anatomy of Silence

"Silence is not merely the absence of words but the presence of unspoken truths, unaddressed grievances, and unmet needs. To break the silence is to confront the shadows that lurk beneath the surface, illuminating the path towards healing and understanding." - Unknown

5: The Barrier of Silence

"In the fortress of silence, walls of misunderstanding are erected, separating hearts and stifling connection. To dismantle these barriers requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to engage in open, honest dialogue." - Unknown

6: The Language of Silence

"Silence, though devoid of words, speaks volumes about the state of a relationship. It reveals the depths of unexpressed emotions, the wounds left untended, and the longing for connection that remains unfulfilled." - Unknown

7: The Power of Communication

"In the realm of relationships, communication serves as the cornerstone of connection, fostering intimacy, understanding, and emotional resonance. It is through open, honest dialogue that hearts are united, and bonds are strengthened." - Unknown

Conclusion:

In the silence that pervades relationships, there lies an opportunity for growth, understanding, and healing. By shedding light on the impact of silence and the importance of fostering open, honest communication, we can navigate the complexities of relationships with grace, compassion, and resilience. Let us heed the wisdom of these poignant quotes and embrace the power of communication to cultivate deeper connections and nourish the bonds of love and understanding.

"you make me feel very special."

"You are special, so I would hope you're feeling that way."

"It's a fairly new feeling, honestly. Thank you."

"Well, somebody needed to come along and show ya, and I'm glad I've gotten to."

"Ooh…You're a charming fellow, you know that?"

"You think so?"

"That was an excellent line. I can't believe it was said to me. That's something you read in books or hear in movies."

"Haha, well thank you. But it was very fully meant. Not just as a line."

"And that makes it that much better."

"I'm glad you're feeling this way now, but I am sorry it hasn't really happened sooner. You've deserved it for sure."

"You were worth the wait."

"Talk about sounding like it's out of a book."

people always say "your body is a temple" as some kind of pearl-clutching gotcha finger wag to people with tattoos and piercings and body mods which has never made sense to me

cause like.

y'all know what we do with temples right? with holy spaces?

we adorn them in art and precious metals and things of beauty. we make them spectacles of gathering to signal that this is a space we know the Divine calls to us. our Creation does not end the moment we take our first breath, we continue to collaborate in our own Creation each and every day.

get the tattoo or that piercing, fill yourself with delicious things and celebrate in wonder at the mystery it is to live within your body!

#our bodies are gifts to celebrate and adorn andexperience #even when we might have complicated relationships with them for any number of reasons #queer christian #trans christian #queer catholic #creation #trans catholic #trans theology

#cw: eye scarring #cw: christianity #as a theme. and not a particularly positive depiction either. #the calamity has anger issues but is earnestly trying her best #the survivor is patient #and also not scared of her at all #the calamity is talking about the story of samson and delilah in pg 2 btw #i tend to only make oneshot short story these days but im fond of this pair #had the urge to draw something a little mundane with these two and the slowest slow burn of a relationship you could ever imagine #also usually a broken mirror would equal 7 years of bad luck but the calamity so outclasses it as far as bad omens go #im pretty sure the effects are just cancelled out #anyway #next comic will be a different story entirely i promise #thank you for your patience #and as always #thank you for reading #comic art #sapphic art #stillindigo art #hearteaters #stillindigo comics

Today I want to talk about sexuality and what sexual freedom means to me.

Growing up in Europe, I was influenced by the idea that a woman's sexual freedom means that you can have sex when and with whom you want and therefore you are not a slut.

I agree with the last one... no one is a slut or inferior for having sex and it is absolutely not Christian to judge anyone.

But I think the word freedom has been misunderstood. Freedom doesn't mean the almost compulsion to have sex with everyone you find attractive. Freedom means deciding for yourself who you trust enough to entrust your body to, but also to listen to your limits.

As a teenager, I thought there was something wrong with me because I wasn't as "relaxed" as others, but now I understand that I simply know for myself that sex with someone I don't trust deeply and with whom I don’t feel safe is not good for me.

For a long time I was afraid to communicate my boundaries so clearly, because as a woman you're often told by society that you're not allowed to have them ("oh come on, don't be a party pooper", "God she's so uptight" etc.).

And yes, there will certainly be men who find it strange that physical closeness and kissing each other means so much to me that I only want it within a relationship and yes, there will also be men who don't want a relationship with me because I want to wait until after marriage to have sex, but I'm no longer afraid to communicate this clearly.

I'm grateful that God has given me these boundaries, because for me it's a kind of sorting out. If someone doesn't want to have a relationship with me because I want to wait to have sex, they should perhaps ask themselves whether their desire to have a relationship with me is really about me as a person and, on the other hand, if they are simply not the right man for me.

I remind myself of these 4 things every morning:

1. Women should always aim to be refined, polite, and well-spoken.

2. Arch your spine and your shoulders back. This is good posture.

3. A lady should not swear, and gossip is a sin. Remember those two things always.

4. Humility is one of the most attractive traits a woman can have.

SO i storyboarded this comic and drew the first page back in 2015, and then totally and completely forgot about it 😂 i remember around that time i was struggling to accept that chronic illness was my life and couldn't be ignored.

it was really cathartic to come back to finish this, both with improved skills, and improved mental health. i feel like God allowed me to forget about it, just so that He could gift it back to me now, as a reminder of our growth together.

"(The Lord) lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along." (Psalm 40:2)

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ

.

#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so! #it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat #Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case #I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does #I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature #and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame #I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing #sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird #but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work #and how they shape things they come in contact with #in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character #and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know #answered #kachavashka #Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name #I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character
