When non black people tell me I need to support the killing of black babies in the womb <<
this might be a hot take but i actually don’t think humans were meant to know what is going on in everyone’s lives all over the world every second of the day and constantly be available for conversations or collaborations or call-ins for work and texts and phone calls and social media posts without end. i think we were supposed to just help the people around us and spend time with our family and friends and eat yummy bread and berries and relax
Absolutely agreed: technology, though posed as a futuristic astonishing creation, has become the decline of a compassionate society.
Remember how I said that birth justice issues occur in states regardless of abortion law? This is as true in AL as it is in NY or CA. Abortion does not address medical injustice, but neither does anti-abortion legislation. It is just one piece of the puzzle.
If you care about maternal mortality and improving women’s health, regardless of your stance on abortion, then SUPPORT MIDWIVES. Support midwives serving underprivileged communities suffering from systemic racism and sexism. Support midwives having autonomy to practice and having clients access them easily. Midwifery has been shown over and over again for centuries to help keep women and children alive, even when hospitals shut them out.
🕯 Will you take a moment and pray for two unsaved people in your life? Perhaps one of those you know is not saved and the other you are really not sure about. Will you pray for them now?
“A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members; and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying.”— Pope St. John Paul II
We’re all technically dying but I get the point. Recently I’ve been exposed to more hospice and end of life “care” and it’s sinister.
The way we (Americans) have normalized isolating the elderly, doping them up and having them die in a facility is awful to watch. And it’s happening every single day.
thinking about how one of the messages of Christianity is not that bad things will not happen, but that bad things are not the last things. of course we will all suffer - even Jesus suffered and died a horrible death on the cross - but that’s not how it ends. it ends in victory over sin, over sorrow, over death. Christianity asserts that the way will be difficult, but also that difficulty is not the end
When you saturate yourself with the Word of our God daily, you’ll start to notice a change in how you carry yourself in testing situations - for the better. Sometimes it’s not the situation that’ll change, just your reaction to it, because if the situation changed you wouldn’t get to see the growth God has gifted you with. Hallelujah.
Amen.
When I’m consistently in the Word, watching Christian content, and listening to worship music, my response to things is wayyy different. 😅
spiritual warfare is so incredibly real and we need to stop treating it like a merely figurative phrase.
I heard a pastor say “We have a full time enemy and a part time prayer life.”
We NEED to put on the full armor of God and be prepared because it’s not “if” we experience spiritual warfare but “when” we do, what will be our response
The key to being successful is Consistency over Perfection.
You’re going to fail at times.
You’re going to make mistakes.
You’re going to be disappointed.
You’re going to get it wrong sometimes.
6 months of consistency can set you years ahead.
your thoughts shape your reality & your reality shapes your thoughts.
