Thank you. I need to see that stuff on the harder days. Sometimes its not even about the mess the world has became - i just become overwhelmed with whats going on in my own personal/family life. I take care of my disabled grandpa and ill be here until his last breath...it can be heartbreaking and stressful some days. Turn on the news, read comment sections on fb/reddit etc and its like they take those feelings and magnify them.
I come here and i see people being uplifting,sharing God's love,etc...and it can actually help me end a very negative day with positive energy. You know that term Digital Solider? Well Soliders arent ONLY in firefights, sometimes theyre on a rescue mission.
My hat comes off to you in admiration, but it also comes off in condolences of everyone who has broken under the weight of our recent past.
I wanted to reply last night but I couldn’t see straight and my thinking not all that clear. Just re-reading your post again and realizing you said “everyone who has broken under the weight of our recent past.”
I don’t think we’re broken. To be honest, I think the reason many of us at GAW keep trudging onward, trying to find the truth and lift others up is because life probably has tried to break us in the distant past but we overcame. We had faith in God and ourselves. We know that life is beautiful and full of miracles and light.
But we are not broken by THIS. Not the stolen election, not the imposter in chief, not the inflation, gas prices, lack of baby food, violence in cities, the coof, illegals invading our country or other world affairs. We’re here because we’re strong and we will persevere because we care for each other, we know what’s right and God is always with us guiding us through the journey.
Do you know why we’re going through this? Do you know why you’re going through the personal challenges you have right now? Yep, it’s to “make you stronger.” That seems like a very tired cliche but it’s true and also much broader than that. You’re learning things you didn’t know before. You’re learning to trust yourself and have faith when it seems flimsy, at best. You’re learning that each morning, no matter how dark the night was before, the sun comes up. It’s a new day, full of potential, hope and light. It’s about those times where you get down on your knees and beg God for some relief or answers and really try to connect with and hear Him and sometimes His answers aren’t obvious or in your face so it teaches you to look further and harder.
And that’s what we’re doing here.
For one reason or another, we’ve been called here. If I think about how random my journey to GAW has been, it’s almost comical. But who led me and why? What or who is Q? How is this site not full of ads and free for anyone? How does anyone even find this site when odds are stacked against us? I think God knows.
Your last paragraph is something I have wondered about. Of all the internet forums I have participated lurked on, this one is a little oasis in that it isn't overrun by BS.
For what it's worth, if you don't consider yourself broken then I didn't mean you. I meant the black-pilled basically
