To clarify, I meant incorrect, not morally wrong.
OHHH okay that makes way more sense!!!!!! I totally see your point!!
I do talk to God somewhat casually, but I also call him God and say amen. XD So I get what you’re saying about how He wants to be involved with our lives, and I have been taught that. I’ve also been taught that He is to be worshipped with reverence and awe, which is why I tend to avoid the word relationship, even thought it is that too.
Sometimes I call him God, sometimes I just start talking without saying a name at all, idk…or i’ll be like “JESUS HELP” when I’m driving and a car is tailgating me XDXD Idk, I’m random
I completely agree!!!!!! Like @trailblazer said, honestly being casual with him makes me even more in awe of him somehow <333
The passenger’s seat? If Jesus were in my car, he’d be driving, because I’d crash it.😂 Few things would be more humiliating than crashing the car with the King of the Universe in it. XD
Oh I agree XDXD
I have my driver’s license so I have to drive myself around now XD
I wish Jesus could just drive for me though… *cries* Sometimes when I get nervous I picture angels watching over me and surrounding my car, and Jesus with me, guiding my hands on the wheel, and it helps me so much!
I also have a collection of mini Jesus’s ( @ellette-giselle @elishavet-pidyon @hybridlore @koshka saw all of them on my dresser on a google meet call hahahaha (I just bought 100 more…*coughs*) and I have a mini Jesus in my car to remind me that he’s with me!!!
*visible confusion*
It’s from the How to Train Your Dragon TV shows (the episodes, not the real movies)…it’s my favorite scene hahaha

One last thing: what they’re teaching sounds like critical race theory.
Yup, it is! And it’s in all the schools and curriculums and kids are believing it! Being homeschooled up until my senior year, I had never had to deal with racism, and I never thought I would, being taught that we live in America, in a land where there is equality for everyone. (BTW, equality and equity are two different things but they sound the same at first glance). Then in public school I suddenly found that some kids didn’t like me simply because I was white. I was in the bathroom one day and these girls walked in and the one girl took one look at me and she said, “*expletive* you white as *expletive*.” And I was just taken off guard because I didn’t know her at all, hadn’t ever seen her before to my knowledge, and she just took one look at me and made a derogatory statement based on my race.
Not the most amazing thing to be teaching children. “Oh, you’re white? You must be racist. You’re black? Thing is, everyone hates you and your opportunities are limited.” It’s bananas. Somebody ought to reintroduce Martin Luther King Jr. ‘s I Have a Dream speech again, because this isn’t the dream he was talking about.
Exactly! The problem with lies is that they sound true until your eyes are opened and you can see through it. It wouldn’t be deception if it’s not deceptive. It still shocks me that so many people have just bought into it, because like you said, this isn’t what Martin Luther King would have wanted.

Girl literally… that’s so relatable! Sometimes if I’m driving alone I’ll talk to Him aloud and picture Him sitting there. I probably look like I’m crazy but He is always with us, so why would He not be in the car with me?
YESSSSS
Every time I leave my house and I’m driving, I pray out loud that I drive safe and Jesus uses me to be a light wherever I’m going! like every time I’m like “Jesus, it would be really nice if I didn’t go off the road today…” lol!!!
Yessss I call Him Abba all the time, and sometimes I use Dad or Daddy too, but not as often because I need some way to distinguish Him from my earthly dad. Or if I’m not talking to the Father, I’ll just address Him as Jesus or Holy Spirit… which it sounds really strange to say it as if I’m talking to three separate beings, but I’m not- He’s the same God just different aspects of His character, so depending on how I’m interacting with Him I address Him differently.
I agree!!!! I do the same thing!!!!!!
One of my friends from my discipleship school this past year was cooking a meal for all of us and she was trying to figure out how to boil the chicken, so she just asked Him, “Jesus, how do I boil this chicken?” And He gave her instructions on how to do it.
I ask Him stuff like that all the time hahaha
He always knows what to do hahaha!
I completely agree! In fact, I think interacting with Him in a “casual” way only makes me more in awe of Him and causes me to worship Him even more! The fact that the King of Kings, the Highest One, the Most Holy, would desire to know me and for me to know Him blows my mind! It makes me so much more grateful for the price that Jesus paid for me on the cross when I realize how big of a separation there was between us and that He literally went through all of that so that an imperfect human like me, made in His image, could once again know Him in an intimate way and walk and talk with Him again like Adam and Eve did in the Garden.
YESSS GIRL!!!!!!

Do you ever hide random mini Jesuses places? I have a couple, and one I just found someplace. XD
Wow, you have your license? I’m working on Driver’s Ed right now actually. XD
If you want to find all the cops, they're hanging out in the donut shop.
I wish Jesus could just drive for me though… *cries* Sometimes when I get nervous I picture angels watching over me and surrounding my car, and Jesus with me, guiding my hands on the wheel, and it helps me so much!
Yeah it’d be so nice if He could literally just take the wheel sometimes lol. Not saying He couldn’t… I wouldn’t be surprised if He did if He needed to swerve my car out of danger or something…
But anyway, yeah, I’ve had a habit of asking for His protection every time I get in my car and I’ve never been in an accident. I’m also a very careful driver so that’s probably part of it, but there have been a couple close calls that weren’t my fault (once got rear-ended at a stoplight but it didn’t do any damage to my car).

This is random, but I’ve been eavesdropping on your conversation…
Has anyone noticed how the beauty standard now is like “you have to be tan and have darker skin or else you’re not pretty enough”?
It really bugs me how girls now are using self tan or judging other girls who are “pale”. Honestly I’m sick and tired of people judging other people about the color of their skin…Like God made your skin exactly how He wanted, so why do we try to alter it?
I have naturally paler skin, and because of the beauty standard around me, I’ve always been self conscious of it. I hear other girls get complimented on their “fake tan” or make fun of themselves for being “pale” and it makes me mad…
I wish we would just all see each other as made in the image of God, regardless of looks. And see how everyone is beautiful, no matter their hair color, skin color, weight or ANYTHING ELSE. We are all made in GOD’S IMAGE and that alone makes us all beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

I do!!! that’s why I bought them…I hid a bunch at church and at school!!! My school isn’t a Christian school so I thought it would be cool to hide them to bring attention to Jesus and be a light!!!!!! I also keep a bunch for myself and give them out to random people XD
Wow, you have your license? I’m working on Driver’s Ed right now actually. XD
Yeah, in Montana you can take Driver’s Ed at 14 1/2 and get your license at 15!!! I’ve had it for a few months now.

Hmm I hadn’t thought about it, but you’re right. I’ve never really tried to deliberately tan, but now that you say it, yeah it is kind of a stigma.
"Real love is for your good, not for your comfort." -Justin Whitmel Earley
I haven’t tried to tan either…mostly because I want to learn to be okay with how I look normally, and love myself the way God created me.
I don’t want to follow trends just because the world says I’m not enough…I want to learn to be okay with being different the way God made me.
"Hair. Mouth. Cheese of yak. Come, Sintar, bRiNg a MeLoN."
Same… that’s why I don’t do makeup. (No judgment against any girls who do wear makeup, I know everyone has different reasons) But for me, I just don’t feel like taking the time, and it feels like I’m trying to be someone I’m not. For nice occasions I will put on a little bit of makeup, but for everyday life it’s too much work lol.

My family also doesn’t have a specific denomination—we believe and follow the Bible, and I think the church we usually attend is non-denominational.

Nice! Do you take offense when someone says/ask if your church is a denomination in a way? Just wondering!
