I definitely got that difference, but having you explain it helped even more.
Is Jace younger than the others? You described him as a boy multiple times.
Guy… we didn’t really get much there, but I got the impression he is haunted by his past. Lol.

I know this is a massive article I’m sharing, lol, but I’ve agreed with anything I’ve read from this website (and everything I’ve seen/read at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter). This article explains why they believe the earth was created in six literal 24-hour days.
And to answer the question, I am also a young-earth creationist.

I have a bunch of trips that I’ll be gone for, but you can start without me!!! I’m just not sure how available I’ll be until my schedule frees up in July. And I’m sure I can pop on every now and then in between being gone lol

I’ll keep watching from the shadows and once the draft is over I’ll give you more input on that XD
Yes please do!

One of my youngest friends has cancer. ♥️ It sucks. Don’t let it push people out even if it becomes a normal in your life.
Oh girl I’m so sorry *hugs* I don’t know exactly what you’re going through but I do know that cancer is horrible and sucks to deal with…if YOU need to talk to someone who (to some degree at least) un…[Read more]

Okay that’s a cool character arc then!!

And I’m glad that Hallie’s talking to God again <33 even if it’s slow progress

Esther replied to the topic Prayer Requests for Anyone in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 9 months, 1 week ago
I will! I’m not actually taking it until tomorrow, because when we arrived at the BMV, there was a 49 person wait. It’s not usually that crowded, so we’ll go back tomorrow.
Oh goodness! that’s ridiculous 😂
Some of the material will depend on state and my driver’s ed program said that there were a lot of road sign questions and you c…

@theshadow @theducktator @savannah_grace2009
Sorry for falling off the face of the planet there for a minute! XD Anyway, thank you so much for your feedback and I’ve read through it all and am FOR SURE taking every word into consideration (I just don’t feel like making individual replies to each one. I know. I’m lazy 🤣)

Esther posted an update 9 months, 1 week ago
Guyyssssssss… It’s been way too longgggg 😭 But I’m finally back!
Writing has been pretty nonexistent lately 😅 I haven’t really written anything since the end of March (and that was mostly editing anyway), and I’m really really hoping to make some progress and get into a better rhythm this summer. I feel like the unplanned break actually helped my…[Read more] -

Oh my goodness Sara… I can’t even imagine how hard that is for y’all. 🥺 I know I’m replying late, but I’ve been praying for you. 💕💕
Oooh exciting! Let us know how it goes! (to be honest, I feel like the test is pretty easy because a lot of it is common sense [besides the oddly specific questions about insurance…[Read more]

I think we are almost two thirds in?
Okay, sounds good. If needed, you can always catch up after your break.

hybridlore replied to the topic Mission Impossible– Two books out by 12/14/2025 in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 months, 1 week ago
I think the first chapter works pretty well! There was a bit of space in between Jonathan’s time in school and him talking to his brother that sort of felt like filler, but I’m not really sure what else you could put there so it might be fine for a first chapter to introduce the characters and the world.
One note: I was very…[Read more]

hybridlore replied to the topic Critique for my first RR Short Story in the forum Short Story Critiques 9 months, 1 week ago
Wow, I really liked reading this! Are you planning to use the characters in a novel?
The POVs seemed pretty different, I think. Obviously, the longer we spend with the characters, the more we’ll get to know them and see their differences, but I got the impression that Zahn was the peacemaker, Kyler likes to tease and instigate things,…[Read more]

hybridlore replied to the topic Prayer Requests for Anyone in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 9 months, 1 week ago
Yeah, that’s understandable. I’m sorry 😢 🤗 But hopefully you have a great time at camp! I’ll continue to pray for you guys!
I’ve been doing pretty good! Just started math again so I can finish my class by next year. So… yeah. 😅
@theducktator Praying!

SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨ replied to the topic Prayer Requests for Anyone in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 9 months, 1 week ago
Thanks for asking!!!!
It’s been a rollercoaster. I have some good days, some bad days, some days where I just want to shut everyone out and not talk to anyone XD
And then I have some days that start out good and then end with me sobbing in my bathroom trying to get ready for bed 😭
The Devil also has been trying to attack me with…[Read more]

Hey Esther!! Nice to see you around again!!
Sounds like a lot of craziness! 😂 How are you liking driving so far? And what new project are you planning to work on first?
I’m doing pretty good! My family moved and so we’ve been settling in and stuff but this week I’m finally starting to finish up my math (hopefully the last math of high schoo…[Read more]
Hehe, yes, but good craziness nonetheless! I’ve liked it so far! I’m kinda nervous and a little scared, but I’m mostly excited so that kinda overpowers the rest, lol. My brother’s also going off to college in the fall and he had been driving us places sometimes, so it’s almost like a motivation for me to be the new driver in the house (for my o…[Read more]
Yes, that makes total sense! Righttt. I’m just starting to be able to drive my siblings to the grocery store and it’s been fun. 🙂
Oh, awesome! I remember that one. Africa sounds really interesting… 😆
It was fine. We’ve moved plenty of times, and this one was a bit more sad for me, but I like our new house and neighborhood, and we’re starting to…[Read more]
Yes, that’s awesome!
Haha, yeah, I’ll be needing to do a lot of research, but I may save most of it for the end once I’ve gotten the whole story written out.
Good! I’m glad it’s been a pretty easy adjustment for y’all!
Ooh, fun fun! Oh yeah that’s a good idea! Do you have any idea what you want to do after high school yet??
Research, ugh. 😂 I would save it for the end too. XD
I want to write at least part-time, Lord willing!
I’ve also considered teaching violin or working as a librarian on the side. 😊 Do you?
Awesome, awesome!
Yeah, I’m hoping to get a degree in high school social studies/history education and/or youth ministry. I really want to be involved with high schoolers and ministry somehow in my future
HIIII ESTHERR <333
I'm so glad you're back, I was starting to wonder where you were…
(Like i'm one to talk, I'm notorious for randomly falling off the face of the earth so I get it girl haha)
THAT SOUNDS SO FUN!!!! I'm glad the last few weeks went so well for you!!!!
Writing's been nonexisitent for me too…I'm kind of stuck on my Andromeda…[Read more]
Oops I forgot you asked us to talk about ourselves too haha
Nothing much has been going on with me…I got a job at a coffee shop and I’ve been working 7 hour shifts almost every day which is exhausting but at least I get MONEY!!!
And I’m glad its’ keeping me out of the house too.
Besides the writing thing I mentioned earlier, I haven’t been…[Read more]
Outcry is such a great name, Sara!!
Thanks!!!
INDIANAPOLIS??? I’m in Indianapolis!
OMC!!!!!!!!!!
THAT’S SO COOL!
We’ll be either at the zoo or at a waterpark on July 4th..any chance we could meet up then?!?
We may be in Chicago then. I’d hoped plans would be nailed down before I replied, but it’s all still up in the air. If we’re here, I would LOVE that! Which waterpark?
@savannah_grace2009
So it looks like we will be in Chicago then. 😭 I really wish we could meet. Is the 4th the only possible date?
NOOOOO
yeah the 4th is the only day i’d be available *cries*
I’m actually going to the zoo that day (we’re splitting our youth group up based on what we wanted to do…one half is going to a waterpark and the other is going to the zoo.)
I decided on the zoo so it will be fun (:
But I’m sorry it won’t work!!!
Nooooooo! 😭 That would have been so fun! Would you be here again next year?
Thanks girl! <33
Ugh, yesss, I know that feeling. It can be really good to switch things up every now and then!
Oooh, that sounds like such a fun place to work! I got a job at a coffee shop near us and then was FIRED before I even started. 😑 It was because she thought they would be busier now that they had added ice cream to the menu, but…[Read more]

Hi!!! You’re alive! I have my permit now too! Passed the test first try, and even have some duck Student Driver magnets for our car! I’m scared though. It’s a 12 passenger van with enormous blind spots and an essentially useless rearview mirror.😬 I drove around a parking lot a bit after the test, and I’m driving again this evening. How’s your…[Read more]
Yay, that’s so exciting! Oof, yeah that doesn’t sound fun 😭 But hey, if you’re able to drive that, you’re able to drive anything, right? XD We have an SUV and a Ford Taurus that I get to drive, so yeah, a lot smaller, lol. But it’s been going well! I really like it and I can’t wait until I’m experienced enough to drive to school and church!
Ugh,…[Read more]
I’ve driven three times so far, and I’m driving again today. I’ve only hit two curbs, which isn’t too bad given the size of that van. XD I can’t wait till I can just drive places whenever I want to, though I know that I’m going to be the one always going to Kroger to pick up some forgotten dinner ingredient. XD
Yeah, I’m surprised too. But I’m…[Read more]
