Someone else's miracle

I saw God at Walmart last week.

A mom was getting shoes for her two little boys. They looked to be about 4 and 7 years old.

She had found a pair of shoes that fit the older one. And he really liked them.

The younger one really liked them too. And that was the problem.

Because the 4-year-old didn’t just want the same shoes that she found for his big brother. He wanted the same shoes – in the same size as his big brother.

She was trying to get him to try on the shoes, but in a size that would fit him. And he was having none of it.

The more she tried, the more upset he became. Because she wouldn’t give him the same thing that she got for his brother.

He didn’t understand that she was trying to get him shoes that would work for him. Instead of the comically huge ones that he was demanding.

It gave me a glimpse of how you and I must look from God’s perspective.

When we see something that God did for someone else – someone else’s healing, someone else’s healthy relationship, someone else’s promotion, someone else’s successful struggle with addiction, someone else’s growing business.

And get bent out of shape because God didn’t do the exact same thing for us. Because He didn’t give us someone else’s miracle.

We all do it, just like the people in today’s Gospel. We pray for something, we ask God for it, we believe for it. And then get upset when God doesn’t do it for us the same way that He did it for someone else.

Whether our reaction takes the form of doubting ourselves, wondering whether we prayed and believed hard enough for it. Or if it takes the form of doubting God. Maybe even rejecting God because we didn’t get someone else’s miracle (or trying to kill Jesus like in today’s Gospel). It really doesn’t matter.

Because all of them leave us in the same place as the 4-year-old who was angry with his mom for not getting him the shoes he was demanding.

His anger makes perfect sense. But only to his self-absorbed 4-year-old brain.

All because he can’t see the big picture. Because he can’t see beyond himself enough to trust that his mother loves him and wants the best for him.

The challenge for you and me when it comes to our relationship with God?

To see if we can do better than a self-absorbed 4-year-old.

Man, I still remember when Gege had just started to go on his first couple of hiatus because of overwork and how so many of the fans reacted. Lots of them were extremely pissed off at the fact that they’d simply have to wait an extra week for the new chapters. Then when JUMP released a statement from Gege stating that he would be taking a month off, they were saying shit like “omg, no one’s gonna care about it anymore if it doesn’t update 🙄!” And “it’s gonna fall of so hard if he does this 🤔.” Like, oh brother. So you’re telling me that the critically acclaimed, award winning, new age shounen manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, is going to “flop,” because of the creator not updating it every fucking week 😕? Are you people stupid- nvm.

It had gotten to the point where Gege himself had even mentioned that he was still gonna try to work on the manga in between his break which… kind of defeated the purpose of him taking time off in the first place. It’s his first major manga. It’s doing extremely well financially and has garnered tons of support in such a short period of time. He doesn’t want to disappoint the fans. I get it. But that was so sad to me back when I’d first read that… and he’s only 32. He’s only a few years older than me. Now, he goes on hiatus all of the time (they’re scheduled breaks every three chapters.) even a one week break isn’t really enough when you really think about it.

The planning for each page already takes enough effort to set up. Now you have to actually sketch and ink everything??? If you’re not an artist or is someone who’s not all too familiar with sequentials, than you probably wouldn’t fully understand just how much effort has to go into completing even one single panel. It’s just… a lot of work.

People need to understand that at the end of the day, all these people want to do is draw and write. They want to share their stories with the world. It isn’t their faults that they blow up the way that they do. And just because you like it a lot, doesn’t mean that you as a fan, have the right to demand more from them. Learning to care more about others over what they can give you - what they can do for you, and how can you benefit, is important. People are not robots. You have to understand this as a fellow human being.

#the shit that ppl used to say about Togashi over the years man #some of it was funny but most of it just came off as again #demanding #and mean spirited even while knowing that he was sickly 😵‍💫 #I can understand being frustrated because of wanting MORE of something that you love but again #PEOPLE ARE NOT ROBOTS #art is hard and it’s stressful #and has killed so many artists because they loved it too much to stop and because of capitalism holding a gun to their heads #it really does suck #rambling

Happy birthday to the best rabbit boy! (I swear I drew this yesterday, only a little bit late, I’m just slow with uploading here)

Anyway, manifesting the Oswald show (or any big content, really), and if D23 is not gonna give us that, I’ll lose my mind.

Some filtered versions under the cut.

Writing MSc thesis in 2013 vs PhD thesis in 2018.

I must say that the cat was much less demanding. 😄 The horse wrote whole paragraphs that were utterly wrong. 😁

Be selfish

(for someone who needs an off ramp)

There are so many things clamoring for our attention.

The latest outrage. The incendiary thing that some public figure said or did. The cause that’s grabbed the spotlight. The trend that’s everywhere. And so much more.

The usual whirlwind of frantic distraction. Demanding our time. Requiring a response.

In other words, welcome to Thursday.

Only this Thursday is…a little different. This Thursday has an off ramp.

There’s something else there. It’s not loud or frantic. It doesn’t demand.

Yet somehow, it draws us in. With its peace.

Not the peace of quiet. The moment’s pause that sometimes happens when the outrage machine accidentally stops to take a breath. Although it is quiet.

It’s an active peace.

A peace that’s grounded in a presence. A peace that’s grounded in the Presence.

This Thursday, be selfish.

Quit pouring out the precious gift of your time, of your attention, of you. At the feet of distractions that will never love you back.

This Thursday, give the gift of you to the One who has always loved you.

Spend Triduum and Easter with the God who loves you enough to sacrifice everything. Just for the chance that you would love Him back.

And if you really miss all of the frantic distraction? If you really need to pour yourself into things that will never repay your time and attention?

The latest version of all of it will be waiting for you on Monday.
