@rae

Thanks! That’s helpful to consider!

@savannah_grace2009

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.

@elishavet-pidyon

Thanks! That was really helpful to get the wheels turning in my head!

@raxforge thanks!

@rae my characters aren’t super well fleshed out yet either but I’ll give it a go with what I have

Ellie (16)- She has a compassionate heart and is deeply moved by the issue of human trafficking. Also has a good sense of discernment. (It’s her older sister who was kidnapped as a young child, but I haven’t decided if I want her…[Read more]

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”?

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.

@savannah_grace2009

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!!!

Haha didn’t see this until after I made my last post lol.

@savannah_grace2009

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 w…[Read more]

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 f…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

I also understand about it feeling casual…but then again I’m also the person who will talk to Jesus about anything and everything and see Him as my best friend…like if I’m blasting rap music I picture Jesus in the car with me in the passenger’s seat jamming out with me XDXD

Girl literally… that’s so relatable! Sometimes i…[Read more]

@stephie

No I totally see what you mean. I don’t know if it’s the same way in Canada, but here in the States the same thing is being taught in the schools, only it’s an issue of whites and African Americans. They’re trying to say whites are inherently racist against other nationalities (mainly stemming from the issue of slavery). While I do think…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @linus-smallprint @stephie

Linus, I love that your pastor took a stand and didn’t back down, even if it meant getting arrested. Unfortunately my church didn’t see what was going on right away and complied, but we then realized it wasn’t really as much about health as it was about control. If there was another lockdown implemented…[Read more]

Ooh I like this conversation! My answers will probably be similar to some of the others, but I’m gonna share anyway.

What is your denomination?

Non-denominational. My church is part of a network of churches, but still functions independently.

Did you grow up with this denomination? Are you still growing up with it? Or did you convert to it…

@hybridlore

I think at some point my Saturday mornings will open up. I’m switching to closing shifts on Saturdays in a few weeks so it should work eventually.

What time/ time zone is it? Or will that vary from week to week?

@ellette-giselle

Would you like to send me your email on the status update I made so I can let you know next time we plan something like this?

I can. I don’t know how often I’ll be available on a Saturday, but maybe eventually I’ll be able to join.

@savannah_grace2009 @ellette-giselle

This is a cool idea! Unfortunately I’m scheduled to work next Saturday, so I won’t be able to join.

@the_lost-journal

What an awesome testimony! Seeing God heal is one of my favorite things!

@the_lost-journal

It’s nice to meet you, too! I’ve been on KP for over a year, but was absent for five months or so this past year, and I haven’t been very active since I’ve returned, so there are still some people I haven’t officially met yet.

 I have a story to share, if you want to hear it!

Absolutely! The whole idea for this topic came…[Read more]

@janellebelovedpig

Haha I forgot this topic existed and I was the one who started it! Thanks for reminding me of its existence!

I love that analogy and how you tied it together!

@liberty

Another thing to mention is that parents shouldn’t just be telling their children to do this or that (like reading the Bible, memorizing scripture, and loving each other). I mean, yes, they should tell and train their children to do those good things, but they also need to be telling them why they do those things. Because children hav…
