God never said that following Him would be easy. He did the exact opposite. (John 16:33)
Sometimes our comfortability is what hinders us from growing closer to Christ. For example, asking for wisdom may require handling challenging situations outside our comfort zone, asking for friends may come with witnessing patience and kindness in the midst of tribulation, or asking for strength will bring more grief and heartache than we ever thought possible.
But if you lean on God during all of these hardships, you grow in your faith.💚

Happy 250th birthday, USA!

You are the land of the free because of the brave.

I’m always in awe of this beautiful country that I live in and beyond grateful that it’s my homeland.

Happy Fourth of July, my fellow ‘mericans!

[TheMakcident @themakcident]

What are your plans for the Fourth of July this year?

Ours is currently up in the air, but we definitely want to show Link some fireworks!

[TheMakcident @themakcident]

@KingNothingMatt Thank you, Matt! I really appreciate that. I have healed from it, praise God. But more importantly, I wanted to bring light to why I find this act important. And I love you as well brother!

I don’t usually talk about personal things like this, but let’s talk about this one. (TW: child sexual abuse)

I was sexually abused as a child by someone in my own home. When I didn’t have anyone to help understand the trauma that I went through or help me to heal, it ended up being ignored.

As I got older, guess what I turned to? If you guessed the internet, you are correct. The amount of explicit and pornographic content that is readily available to children is staggering.

This act helps ensure there are protections against this.

Is it perfect? Of course not. No law is.

But will it help at least one child to avoid the same confusion, pain, and trauma that I experienced? I pray that is the case.

ALL children should be protected from explicit content. Period. End of discussion.

The U.S. House has passed the KIDS Act.

The bill requires websites with obscene or explicit content to verify users’ ages, creates nationwide online child safety standards enforced by the FTC, and gives parents more tools to manage what their children can do online.

It also requires companies to protect age verification data and not keep unnecessary personal information.

My camera roll is entirely filled with my family and friends. It didn’t use to always be that way.

There used to be only memes, screenshots, and random selfies.

I’m grateful to be surrounded by people I love that fill the storage on my phone, but mostly my heart and time.

If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6).

I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing.

Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22).

Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding.

Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.

Happy birthday, Nana. You are dearly missed. Being at your favorite place isn’t the same without you here.

[TheMakcident @themakcident]

Going to the beach for the first time in 5ish years and my mom’s here to visit? I am blessed!🥰

[TheMakcident @themakcident]

Happy Father’s Day to my person. We love you so much! You’re everything to me and more.

[TheMakcident @themakcident]

I’m so incredibly thankful for the people that I have in my life. I’m beyond blessed for my village, both close and far.

Friendships have not always been easy for me. I am a very introverted person who struggles with self doubt and trauma. But I’m thankful for those that continue to both invest in me and help me through my struggles. And I’m honored that they allow me to invest in themselves and walk alongside them in their own hardships. 🥹

My life has forever been changed by their kindness.

I will never understand people who believe abortion is a good thing, as well as those who would monetize off of it.

I do, however, understand that we live in a broken fallen world full of people who do not know Christ, who we need to be praying for and reaching out to. ❤️‍🩹
