This morning I noticed my Discover Card was not in my wallet. I checked their app and saw the last place it was used was by me yesterday morning at a hand spray car wash. So no unauthorized uses.

I used their app to Freeze my card temporarily. I then tossed everything in the car and house and couldn’t find it.

I told my wife I was going to retrace my shopping from yesterday.

Lo and behold I found my lost card face down in the parking lot of a Kroger I visited mid day yesterday.

It was God’s Will.

It’s been a long journey with SSA(Since 2023) I know those who are going through this difficult, ongoing process feels exhausting as well.

Appointments, doctors, medications, Forms, constantly checking the portal for a miracle, medical equipment etc. I’m praying for everyone who’s truly unable to work to get that favorable decision soon🙌🏽

Don’t give up! Only the strong will survive…

Can anyone be thoughtful to share their experiences with me in reference to their “REMANDED HEARING?”

Thank you🫶🏽

Okay so I’ve been with christ 4 years now, and im ngl i just don’t understand it. I’m trying be a professional league of legends video game player(I’m already in the top percentile for it, and I do thank god because I was also stuck in the average diamond lobbies and he helped me get to grandmaster) but now I’m stuck and don’t know how to play like a pro or how to find the connection to get me into the scene. I also don’t understand some verse in the bible, example have faith for stuff you ask for god, a man who thinks is what he is, lean on god knowledge etc. it like okay I think im a pro and can play on pro level but then weeks go by and I’m still playing at the same level. Okay well I pray and ask god to help me climb today in the rank and now for the past week I lost my games, got troll teammates, and the opposite happened. I ask god to show me the knowledge I lack to go pro, okay well nothing happened. I tried to watch pro player play and again nothing happens. I’ve also had enough this year and felt like god is just abusing me and its making me question should I even continue this relationship, constant weeks and months feel wasted because none of my prayers are answered. I get anxious and feel lost alot of times when I play but can perform good at moments, kinda of has high high but a low low player performance and I genuinely don’t know what I’m missing to be a pro player. Sorry for any rudeness towards god but It makes me so mad that I’ve been trying for 4 years and been kinda stuck for the past year at this level. I want to go pro and it feels like this is my thing but I don’t know the next steps. I also don’t have money for coaching and it so hard for me to talk to people. I am tho going next week to therapy to hopefully get anxiety meds but it just seems alot of times god isn’t helping me but constantly putting me on trials and tribulations and its like bro Ive had enough I just want to start winning in life and finally my dream becomes reality. Sorry for yapping

This past week reminded me of something important.

Sometimes life will place multiple situations in front of you at the same time, not to break you, but to show you what you’ve already been feeling beneath the surface.

Family. Relationships. Responsibilities. Boundaries. Energy.

All of it.

And what I’ve been realizing is that not every situation is truly about the thing being presented on the surface.

Sometimes people are carrying things internally that spill over into the way they approach others. Sometimes confusion, loneliness, pressure, or unresolved emotions can shape the way someone moves, even when they may not fully realize it themselves.

That’s why presence matters.

Because when you slow down long enough, you begin to see the difference between what feels aligned and what feels forced. You stop reacting immediately and start paying attention to what something is actually bringing into your space.

This week brought me back to that.

Back to center. Back to observation. Back to trusting what I felt from the beginning instead of talking myself out of it.

And honestly, I think that’s part of the journey too.

Not becoming hardened. Not becoming reactive. Just becoming more aware.

Because clarity doesn't always come through loudly. Sometimes it arrives through repetition. Through patterns. Through the same lesson returning until you finally sit with it fully.

And once you do, something settles inside of you.

Not because life suddenly became perfect, but because you can finally see clearly enough to move with intention instead of confusion.

And I think that’s why spaces for reflection matter so much.

Clarity isn’t about being told what to do. Sometimes it’s simply having the space to sit with what’s already trying to show itself.

Yesterday i told my girlfriend i want to re-wait till marriage and she was completely okay with it, she actually said it was a great idea and i was right because i dont want to lead her into sin and want our relationship to be God centered, we will be starting to pray together and read our bible together, so basically for the past 4 monts we didnt really make God our priority and i feel like ive been called to tell her to re wait again for marriage ( also to set boundries like no touching below waist and no making out, only kisses that lead no further and cuddles) cuz we have fallen into that sin before and i was also thinking about doing more Godly things and to honor God, now

For the tricky part, today a day after that conversation ( cuz we are long distance ) i saw a reel on instagram about how a girl before she was married was called by God to break up with her boyfriend because they were going from kissing to making out to looking eachother lustfully and the thoughts ive been getting are crazy about how i should break up with her to be like that hirl in the video and to not come to that stage of lustfull looking,

I never looked at her with lust before our premarital sex and i dont want to look at her lustfully i fell in love with her cuz of her personality and cuz shes a good person and loves God, before i even saw how she looked like i knew she was the one for me,

What do you guys think is it satan attacking me or Gos telling me the same thing he was telling that girl in the instagram video

Funniest thing in this community is when they yell as a stack at someone who loves music. Maybe god struck you with divine thunder and you should than God you have that person in ur game

My ex and I broke up almost a year ago. one of the main reasons being that he was atheist while I’m Christian. There were other issues too, but that was a big one. At the time I was really devastated, but looking back now, I understand why it had to happen. About two weeks later, I met my current boyfriend. We started dating about 3 months after meeting, and we’ve been together for around 4 months now. When we first met it did seem like he had a genuine relationship with Jesus…or was I just blind sided by his looks? (He is very attractive)

Anyways, now that we’ve been together for a few months I’m starting to feel a bit unsure. I don’t really feel like he’s “on fire” for God. It almost feels like I’m the one leading that part of our relationship. For example he’ll come to church with me if I ask, but he never goes on his own (and I found out he didn’t before we met either). He doesn’t read the Bible on his own, and I’ve noticed that it’s affecting me too and I’ve become more distant in my own faith. I don’t feel spiritually led. We used to pray together every night on FaceTime but that slowly stopped, and there hasn’t been any effort to bring it back unless I initiate it. The thing is he would do all of this if I asked…but I just don’t want to feel like I have to. I want it to be because he genuinely wants to.

I’ve also realized it’s not just about his relationship with God…this shows up in other parts of his life too. I feel like I’m usually the one encouraging him and am on his butt to go after better opportunities or think about his future. I want to support him but I’m starting to question if I’m pushing him more than he’s pushing himself.

I guess what I’m struggling with is this: am I repeating the same mistake? I know everyone’s faith journey is different but sometimes it feels like he’s only doing these things for me and not because he truly wants to. Like he’s missing his own personal passion for Christ. Another thing that sucks is I feel like me and his parents dont have the best relationship. i have to carry most of the conversations when i go to their house. They have no interest in deepening our bond, and if i ask questions about them… it becomes “to personal”. My bf has also told me a lot of the things they say behind my back and alot of it is judgemental.

What makes this harder is that he’s honestly amazing in every other way. He treats me so well he opens doors, pays for everything, is always there for me, super loving and supportive, takes me on dates. That’s why I feel so conflicted.

I don’t know what to do. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
