@AdamCianciarulo@KyleChisholm11 The only real thing out there that’ll never leave your stranded in hard times. Don’t have to be a church goer to believe. 🙌🙌
I was raised around the church, and I wasn’t into it. I was never going to be the guy that believed in all this just because that was what was socially acceptable in my environment.
Over the years, I had gone back and forth, but it was never much of a priority. Fast forward to 2022, I considered myself agnostic and decided to get serious about figuring out a direction. I read every book I could find on the subject, the Bible included, doing my best to view all the information objectively.
Around this time, I was down bad one day and decided to say a prayer and asked Him to show me a sign. The very next day, a man came up to me in the gym, hadn’t seen him before and haven’t seen him since, he held out a shirt with the verse from Jeremiah "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future.” on it and said “I’m not sure why, but I felt called to give this to you today, he sees you”.
I get random text from my mom that afternoon, same verse.
On that same day, my Grandpa was in the hospital—the only artwork in his room? Same verse. (Found this out weeks later)
I realized that over the years I had a bad taste in my mouth about organized religion. It can be used to control and to profit, but I also realized that isn’t what Jesus wanted or taught. That is humans being human, and I came to the conclusion that it’s not right for me to let their mistakes affect the way I view Christianity.
I’m a logical dude, I get the skepticism over the subject, and sitting here today I can tell you that I never thought I would write something like this. Everyone is on their own journey, and I’m the last one to push my beliefs on someone else. I’m not trying to appear virtuous, or trying to assert myself as “above” anyone. I’m writing this because arriving here has changed my life in a way that makes it feel wrong to keep it to myself.
I don’t have all the answers, but through my own research and experience, all I can say is that I believe with all my heart and soul. God bless, and have a great weekend.
Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again.
Today my child declared that he’s a pirate.
I’m taking him to the doctor to amputate his leg and give him a peg leg.
I was told we’re supposed to unquestionably affirm transitions.
Welcome to today’s Supreme Court oral arguments.
ICE: “I love my job. I can't believe I get paid for this. I’d do this for free.”
PROTESTER: “I get $200k. I’m a physician assistant.”
ICE: “How long did you have to go to school?”
PROTESTER: “7 Years”
ICE: “I only went to high school and I make $200k.”
This video is not about politics. If you can’t objectively laugh at the guy in red getting knocked out like he was in a cartoon after his tough guy routine I can’t trust your opinion on anything in life.
