On the subject of purpose: anytime I feel uncertain, I try not to spiral. I return to the things that feel familiar, the things that have responded to me, and I settle there, because for now, I refuse to chase after what doesn’t want to be caught just yet.
One way I know someone’s a keeper is when I find something in them I genuinely admire, whether it’s how they treat people, how they see the world, or what they choose to prioritise and more.
I don’t think we talk enough about how a lot of the stories we read casually in the Bible, are depicting horrifying events for the women in them. There are SO many things that are actually insane.
like… when you finally read those stories as an adult woman you realise half of it is just violence & zero consent.
which woman’s story still makes you go “sorry… HOW was this ever okay?”
One constant emotion I’ve felt this year has been disbelief. When I’m in disbelief, I can’t speak on what I’m experiencing. Still, I’m praying for a positive turnaround before the year ends. And if not, God is still God.
