Drew some more Tamika, my OC from my yet-to-be-written story Reluctant Jamette.
She's a 'Christian' aka grew up in a Christian family but doesn't actually know what Christianity really is.
It's a recent addition but I think it'll fit so well with all the bs she'll be going through because of that ignorance.

I think the weird thing about politics right now, especially online, is how dehumanizing people can be.
I have a buddy on one of the discords and I added him on X and wow, he has some very radical left wing views and would absolutely chew me out for my beliefs in a different context, but because we first talked about books and stories, we can see each other as people.
I think a lot of the people online who are incredibly rude to me would be decent humans to me if we met in person.
We just get in mob mentality and plugged into the rage porn from the media and forget that just because someone thinks different solutions would work, doesn't make them evil.
And I think the fact that most conservatives I know don't feel safe or comfortable speaking about their beliefs kinda keeps people from realizing that people they interact with all the time don't actually agree with them on political matters.

You thought when people painted the "someday you're going to have to choose, for real, between the World and God, you won't be able to walk the line between both" picture that they were talking about martyrdom.
Some extreme. "Trample this picture of Jesus." "Say you don't believe!" "Convert to a different religion!"
You didn't realize that it wouldn't look like that. You didn't realize that when the line gets drawn in the sand, and Jesus is on one side, the other side would look like crying people wailing out, "why can't you just accept me for who I am? Why aren't I enough for you?"
You didn't realize that the choice would be between Jesus the Truth...or a majority of people in the culture making movies, making t-shirt slogans, changing their names, gently telling you that maybe this word in the Bible doesn't mean what you think it means, maybe love just means love, maybe you can have Jesus and whatever sexuality you want.
"Did God really say...?"
You thought it would be something overt. But the bad guys never said, "hey, choose the dark side over the light." They always said, "hey, maybe you don't even know what Jesus said."
The choice is: "It is the Lord. Let Him do what seems good to Him." OR "Did God really say...?"
That's the choice. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is our "choose this day who you will serve." As for me, I'm serving the Lord, and He's holding on to me. He never changes, and yes He did really say.
Hold fast to the truth. It doesn't change. People and cultures do.

11- Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12-ย For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13- Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14- Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15- And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16- Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17- And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18-Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Update on my crochet skirt! All granny squares were completed, blocked AND sewn together! And it looks fantastic!
I bought lining fabric for the skirt, but honestly I don't think it will be needed!
What IS needed now though, is to weave in all those ends ๐ฐ I also need to make the waistband.
The skirt is the width of my hips (9 squares) so I need to gradually cinch in the waist (there's a word for it in crochet, but it's not coming to mind) I also want to crochet around the bottom edge to 'clean up' the hem.
Still a lot of work, but I can't wait to finish and wear it!

A combination of scribble art and character drawing! I was watching Peter Draws on YouTube and decided to try something inspired by his doodle art.

Heavily inspired by my successful 'Ephesians Girl' doodle!
I'm currently working on sticker designs for my shop and I really want to make God and Bible centric stickers that are actually cute and interesting.
This doodle is a possible candidate!

Y'all, I woke up from a nap yesterday and opened tumblr to browse some dp x dc.
Tell me why the first fic that popped up was Danny being held captive and s**ually assaulted by the GIW! (I'm censoring the word because I don't want to assault anyone's eyes like mine were)
Like, I know this fandom likes angst, but geez!
I banished that thing like it was a demon and I had to cleanse my pallet or whatever the term is because I was immediately put in a bad mood.
This is why you gotta block certain tags or words and probably don't reach for your phone first thing.
I need to get back into reaching for my Bible instead. Let my eyes take in the good news instead.
I share my art and writing and sometimes I reblog stuff that I like.You can also find my stuff atYouTube, AO3 and FictionPress
