@a_wesley_g Thanks man. I hope you overcome your struggles with that aswell. --------------------------------------------- Just a rant I can validate my heart anytime I want but that's to much like defending. I don't want to defend my image and heart. I want to accept a changed image and a changed heart. Changes happen and instead of trying to defend against them I accept this new image. And, I'm quite alright because I stopped fighting it. I went from wondering why I'm not liked and defending my heart and image against that to accepting that I'm not liked and being cool with that. I'm not defending my heart and image against not being liked and I'm not fighting to be liked. I just accepted a change to my image and heart. I'm not liked I don't have to fight it I don't have to defend against it. I just accept this new change. It's not like I will die lol. It just hurted because I defended against it and fighted for it not to be so instead of accepting it and just chilling with it. It's cool I can validate my heart though. And, it's cool I can stop my primal instincts to defend myself. I'm learning which is so much fun. God is good.

A conversation and even a relationship is a lot like two people rowing a boat: if only one side is doing all the work, it'll just keep going in circles.

l said I wouldn't talk about sensitive topics anymore cause I felt I crossed others sacredness and boundaries. But, nobody has said I crossed there boundaries. So I may be over reacting. I will try to share the gospel as respectful as I can. This forum page exists so I think it's alright. I'm not seeking human validation I'm seeking to please God. What I found helpful in my walk is this... Submit your thoughts before God. I just understood this thanks to listening to pastor bk on tiktok. God says casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; surrender is hard to understand but I finally have something to practice. I just realize some of my thoughts and emotions are untrustworthy and bring me out of alignment with God. Sometimes I get angry at God when the voices provoke me. Now I submit that anger to God. I didn't understand what submitting your thoughts before God meant until pastor bk said he submits all his emotions to God. And, that stuck with me. When I get anger I exalteth myself against the knowledge of God. So I learned to submit such thoughts and emotions to God. When I doubt and despair I submit those thoughts and emotions to God and don't allow it to effect my solid footing. To better explain it I'm in the beginner stages of understanding that I can better please God by trusting him rather than my thoughts and emotions. My emotions and thoughts lie on God. My thoughts and emotions challenge God. My thoughts and emotions lie to me. But, God he does not lie. When I realized my thoughts and emotions sometimes stand in the way of me loving God I started submitting them. Because they are sometimes untrustworthy. But, God is trustworthy. His way not my way. Jesus said unto him, “‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. I understand we have to align our minds with God and actively try to be submit it. I'm trading what I think and feel for something solid. I can now handle the voices at high volume and can even fall asleep easy with them like that because I'm holding my thoughts captive to the word of God. When I first learned to hold my thoughts captive and submit my thoughts before God I kept crying in the process of taking thoughts captive. I don't know why i was crying. But, I was submitting even those emotions and tears to God I just didn't want to be disturbed out of alignment cause I had just understood it for the first time. Now it's easier to submit my thoughts to God without crying now that I understand it. Sometimes I lock in fr onto Jesus that is solid. And, sometimes i listen to my thoughts and emotions. Not that they all bad i just have to learn to discern which is helping me get closer to God and which isn't. To God be the Glory for strengthening my mind enough to hold thoughts captive. And, if you don't know Jesus love is unconditional so don't go putting conditions on it. It's a trap to put conditions on it. Humans put conditions on love God doesn't. Now I know how to pause examine thoughts then anchor into something solid. Knowing that you can actually take thoughts and emotions captive and do something with them like submit them to God will be a big help in my walk. I found it keeps me from getting worked up about the voices and some of the things I think and feel. Definitely improved my quality of life.

https://youtu.be/oeSQUIxdKF4 Just this whole song I resonate with the lyrics so much its crazy. But damn, that chorus goes HARD: "Doesn't matter time or place If I hear you call my name Know that everything will be okay"

I feel like if you whipped out the weiner in front of Revy she'd say some shit like... Heh. Not bad kid.
