@lydia-s AHH, TYSM!!! *hugs*
It was really good and really helped me to try to make my writing more concise. There’s still some small editing I need to do, lol…but I’m gonna try to take a break for a while, lol! XD

Hi Min!! <3
It’s going really well!! Sis was home for the weekend!! 🎉 Yesterday morning was a little rough but it improved drastically when Church actually started.
We had an AMAZING service of worship and feeling led to not preach his sermon, our Pastor called for prayer, and everyone gathered in front of the altar…it was just an amazing service as we all prayed for our church and our families.
Speaking of that…if you could, just pray for my church, because almost every single family is fighting a battle of some kind, being attacked by the enemy, etc…everyone is just going through the wilderness right now, and it’s been hard on so many.
I gave my Electric Guitar and amp to a friend from Church yesterday that has been wanting to learn guitar, and I was glad I could give it to him 🥰
Anyways…I’m doing really well!!! How are you doing? How’s writing going?
(i’m gonna try to take a break from writing my actual books for a while, lol, but I’m planning on working on Fanfics 😜)

Glad you got to see your sister! <3 sorry it was a rough start though!

That sounds so great time! It seems like you have a great church 😀

I will! 😊

That sounds fun! Is this… hmm maybe some boy I’ve heard of before? XD
Anyways…I’m doing really well!!! How are you doing? How’s writing going?
I’ve had a lot of really hard stuff going on recently, I know you already know about it, but I feel like I’m becoming.. hardier? Does that nake since? I hope it’s a good thing. I can handle stress a little better than before, although I’m still recovering from driving to the library alone today 😅 I needed help getting home because the bridge to home was closed for repairs, and girl, I can’t tell you the awful feeling it was 😭 I called home and my phone starting beeping like I was running out of minutes or something 😫😫 anyways I made it safely home but it took me a couple hours to recover, I felt physically a little sick XD it was the farthest I’d gone alone and there were so many things that threw me off.
Anyways…. guess what I got at the library while I was there?! 🤩🤩 THE FIRST AVENGER!!!
I love it so much! It’s like my favorite movie! Like actually! I’m about 50 minutes in, and Steve is just the best. I already liked him so much from clips I had seen, but honestly I don’t think they could have made him more likable. Not to mention, the plot is so tight! Every scene and dialogue serves such a specific purpose in the story, and I perfectly understand everything! I’m limiting myself to a little at a time because I’m the type to get invested and neglect my health (Oh, eating? That’s not necessary when you’re watching Cap fight!) and because my dvd playeer can overheat.
I’m at the part where poor Steve is on a stage in that stupid costume 😠😠😠💢 he deserves better!!
Also, the foreshadowing is so good! I picked up on a lot of it because I’ve spoiled a lot already.
Like before you know the red skull looks like that, the portrait painter (the actor for him was good, he looks like his life relays on that painting 😭) is using red paint, which wouldn’t make since at that point in the story.
(i’m gonna try to take a break from writing my actual books for a while, lol, but I’m planning on working on Fanfics 😜)
Good idea! You deserve a break 😊 I’ll look forwards to reading those fanfics!
Oh also, I got the Winter soldier and the newer 2019 little women! I’m so excited!
I don’t like that the newer one has a character use God’s name in vain, I hate it because it also goes against the original book, but oh well. From what I’ve seen, they included a lot of crucial moments from the book, that aren’t in the 1994.
They also had the infinity saga, but I had to limit myself lol.

@mineralizedwritings Thx girl ❤️ (especially for the prayers 🥰)
Yes, I love my church so much <3
That sounds fun! Is this… hmm maybe some boy I’ve heard of before? XD
maybeeeeeeee
XD
Seriously tho, I hadn’t used it in, like…a year?? He’s been recently learning how to play Guitar, and so I gave him mine. He’s enjoying it and thanked me again yesterday in a text for giving it to him. Glad I could help bring him some joy <3

Yeah, I do get that. Aww, girl, I’m so sorry you felt that way, but I’m glad you got home safely!! ❤️❤️
Heyyy, I went to the Library yesterday too!!! XD I only got 3 books (way less than my usual😜)…but Min, I soooo needed to get more than that. I read a 200+ page book in, like, an hour, I am not kidding🤣🤣 Now I only have two left…so sad 🥺XD

*SQUEALS*
MIN!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH, I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY YOU ENJOY IT!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEE JUST WAIT, THE OTHERS ARE SOOOOOO GOOD TOOOO, AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! 😍😍😍
Min, legit…you have no idea how happy this makes me XD The movies are just soooooo good, and I am sooooooo happy you’re watching them, ahhhh!!!!
ikr?? Steve is just…😍😍 Of course, I still love Bucky more….broken boi and all🤣, but Steve is very much a close second, and he is just A M A Z I N G
what’s been your fav part so far????

IKR!? So much better 😤
OOOHHH, i knowwwww, right!? Yessss, that would seem odd at first, but when you know, you can really see how Marvel was foreshadowing everything, and yesss, you are sooo right it is so good! 🤩
Good idea! You deserve a break 😊 I’ll look forwards to reading those fanfics!
Thx girl ❤️ Oh, I’m sure I’ll be sharing a few before long…😉

YESSSSS!!!! Winter Soldier is my absolute favorite Marvel movie!!!! 🤩🤩 (i think you know that by now tho…🤣🤣)
Yeah, I get that. There’s some of that in some of the Marvel movies too, but it’s a lot less compared to some things…just use your own discretion when watching them, that’s all 🙂
They also had the infinity saga, but I had to limit myself lol.
Yes, one at a time, Min, one at a time. XD Seriously tho, I understand your excitement ❤️❤️
@freedomwriter76
maybeeeeeeee
XD

XDXD
Well I’m glad you got to give it to somebody who will use it more!
MIN!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH, I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY YOU ENJOY IT!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEE JUST WAIT, THE OTHERS ARE SOOOOOO GOOD TOOOO, AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! 😍😍😍

Yes I love Bucky too! He’s really sweet, but so far I haven’t gotten to see much of him.
what’s been your fav part so far????
Well it’s hard to say as I’m not that far into it…
But I think it’s hilarious that Steve totally ditched the double date with Bucky just to get one more try at joining the military XDXD
YESSSSS!!!! Winter Soldier is my absolute favorite Marvel movie!!!! 🤩🤩 (i think you know that by now tho…🤣🤣)
XD yes I know that… can’t wait to watch it myself.

I don’t usually mind that kind of thing, swearing ect. I meant specifically for this movie it bothers me because Little Women has a christian undertone and things, about how God provides, his will ect. so it wasn’t true to the books tone.
I just finished watching it, and the cinematography style was top notch. However they totally scrubbed God out of it, and had some lines I really didn’t like that weren’t from the book. Basically, they adjusted the from the book to the movie to tailor it to a modern secular audience, which I really hate. It’s frustrates me that so much talent seems to well in secular/ not God glorifying places. I’m not saying there isn’t good christian media, but it’s few and far between when it’s there.
Yes, one at a time, Min, one at a time. XD Seriously tho, I understand your excitement ❤️❤️
Yep!

Yeahhhhhh he’s not in the first one a whole lot 😖😢

LOL, right?? 🤣🤣
I meannnnnn…i appreciate his patriotism XXD Bucky just wanted to keep him safe…definitely has those protective older brother vibes for sure, lol

Aww, that sucks 😢
I do know some good Christian movies tho if you ever wanted to watch them!!!
Return to the Hiding Place was a good one…but it did have some moments that are 100% not for a younger audience 😅 still a Christian movie though, had Christian themes, just…some possibly triggering scenes bc it had the SS in it.
kinda reminded me of my book sometimes tho…which was really cool.
Unbroken (although it’s not a “Christian” movie; has some swearing and one scene that I always skip) and Unbroken: Path to Redemption (a Christian movie) are both amazing too…but both deal with a lot of Violence and PTSD/Alcoholism in the 2nd one (but it’s the true story of Louis Zamperini…an amazing man with an even more amazing story!!!)
but they are great movies!!!
Beyond the Mask and Faith of our Fathers are both really good Christian movies, and neither of them have any questionable scenes, words, etc…very Christian and very good 😀
I could talk about many more…but I probably shouldn’t overwhelm you XD
@freedomwriter76 WOWWWW AWESOME! Where are you going to publish it so I can read it???
"When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
@everyone Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth….I was on a trip to Puerto Rico (where my parents are from!) and I didn’t have access to a computer (and even if I did we were mostly doing cool stuff outside of the house, so I wouldn’t have had time)

@freedomwriter76
Lol yeah, definitely protective older brother vibes XD
Thanks for the movie recs! Of course they are all historical XD I’ll add those to my recommendations list! WW2 is a particularly triggering time though.. it really depends on the movie for me.
I’ll tell you what I think of the first movie when I finish it! Also something kinda funny happened the other day, I was telling my mom about the first avenger, and the literal first thing she asked me was what Cap looks like XD I was like… ‘he has blond hair’ then changed the topic to plot so I wouldn’t have to say how cute he is 🤦🏻♀️XD Every time my mom asks me about boys I always end up changing the topic out of embarrassment XD
