Am I in the wrong path? Am I too slow? I dunno. Only time will tell. All I know, this is the only best thing that I can do and I am able to have for now. Hope I'll make it.

I spent years living like this (except the debt) looking at the ceiling fantasizing about exactly how I live now, everything eventually works out for the delusional optimist imo

He speared the side of Christ, and then he became a Saint, a centurion in the armies of God.

Saint Longinus was the Roman Centurion who pierced the side of Christ with a spear to ensure He was dead.

Tradition says he was partially blind. When the blood and water flowed from Jesus' side, it splashed onto his face, instantly restoring his sight.

He threw down his spear and cried out: "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

The weapon that speared Christ became a relic (The Spear of Destiny), and the man who wielded it became a martyr for the Faith.

Later he was persecuted by the Roman Empire for spreading the faith in Cappadocia.

There he preached Christ crucified and risen, converting pagans, baptizing multitudes. The governor demanded he bow to idols. The soldier of Christ refused.

He laughed at their lifeless statues: “They are not gods. They cannot save.”

They arrested him, tortured him and took his eyes, a brutal mockery of the vision Christ had given him. But even in darkness, Longinus stood strong: “I have seen the truth,” he declared, “and no man can blind me now.”

Still desperate to break him, the governor led Longinus to the temple of the gods, demanding he bow. Before him stood a massive idol, cold and lifeless. Then they cut out his tongue, thinking they had stolen his voice. But the Heavens defied them, Longinus continued to speak clearly, his words as if carried by God Himself.

His hand found the hilt of a discarded sword. And with one mighty strike, he cleaved the false god’s head from its body. As the stone shattered, he roared for all to hear: “NOW WE SHALL SEE IF THEY ARE GODS OR NOT!”

The Emperor had him martyred for this, but his actions had already converted thousands.

Saint Longinus was a soldier of Rome, but he died a warrior of Christ, and in that, he won the greatest battle of all. The battle for his soul.

Saint Longinus, patron saint of soldiers and converts, pray for us!

In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.

In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress.

At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.

A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.

Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!

The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion.

To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.

This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.

Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.

Thank You, Jesus.

“don’t catch feelings” “don’t show them you care” “don’t text them first” “don’t reply too fast” so, what’s the point of having a heart then

I'm so painfully aware and observant. I notice when someone doesn't want to continue our conversation that I was really excited about. I notice when I'm being annoying to someone. I notice when you don't want me around. It makes me never want to speak to anyone again

[Lisa @lisathebeauty1]

lused to think communication was everything, until I realized understanding is. You can talk all you want, but if the other person doesn't truly hear you, it's just noise.

what doesn't kill you makes you cry on your birthday and even during your meals and even during travelling in a public transport and even during holidays and even during a sunset and even during gazing a sky full of stars and even when you're alone and even when you're not.

maturing is realizing none of us are easy to be with. It's about who's willing to stay committed to understanding you and actually wants to grow with you.

The internet constantly tells women that men are terrible listeners because the second a woman starts venting about her day, the man immediately interrupts to offer a logical solution. We are taught to view this as him being dismissive, emotionally unintelligent, or invalidating our feelings.

​The strict, unpopular truth is that to a man, fixing the problem is his absolute highest, most desperate form of empathy.
​Women vent to connect; we want our partner to just sit in the dark with us and validate the emotion. But men are hardwired to view the woman they love being in distress as an active threat. When he immediately offers a spreadsheet, a strategy, or a solution to your problem, he isn't trying to silence you. His brain has recognized that something in the world is hurting his partner, and his immediate, visceral instinct is to assassinate the thing causing you pain.

We constantly shame men for "not just listening," completely ignoring the fact that his attempt to fix your life is his most profound declaration of love.
