Did someone just send a fat zap? Cause I just saw really bright lighting outside 😎🤣

"Real men take the risk," @LeviJohnson.net They ask out women explicitly, rather than hinting and letting the women take over. .... Chats I have with my husband 😎 Also, he was the first man to use the word "date" with me. It showed me quickly that he was way more intentional and mature than the men who simply chatted with me some.

Kids play house, adults live it out. Being boyfriend/girlfriend and living together is like playing house as adults, marriage is the real deal and totally worth it! I never did the living together part, but I dated someone long distance for years. After that, I was so burnt out on being a girlfriend that when my now husband mentioned that "if things are still going well after the 3rd official date, I'll ask you to be my girlfriend", I had mixed emotions. One, I still needed to get to know him a bit more, but also, I didn't want to just be a girlfriend. However, we talked almost everyday between that point and the 3rd date, so by the end of the chat we had before the official 3rd date he asked if I still wanted him to wait until the 3rd date, or if he could ask me right then. To which I responded, "you can ask me now. 😇" It turned out I was only a girlfriend for 6 days, before he asked, "Can I just call you my fiance?" To which I said yes! From first date to wedding day was 68 days, and we knew each other better than some couples who have dated and maybe even lived together for 2-3 years! This is part of why I wrote our book, "How to prepare yourself for marriage", because I wanted to share that intentionality in relationships is actually a good thing, and frankly better than the Hollywood way of letting emotions run the show. Emotions need to be there too, but they're a consequence, not the driver. So many people, myself included, waste years on someone who's never actually going to commit. I was so done playing house, I wanted the real deal, and I went after it. I took a course called "The Dating Discovery", and for 10 weeks we had video calls every Friday. The 11th Friday was my first date with my husband! If you know who you are and what you want out of life, it's way easier to know what kind of person you might want to be with, and you'll be able to sort your way to them very quickly. We went into detail about these topics, but I also made sure to add some of the tools and habits I learned from my husband after we got married, because knowing them in advance makes relating to each other so much smoother from the beginning! I want to help change the world for the better. I want to contribute what I have learned. I want more people to understand what marriage really is and why it's totally worth it! So, if you or someone you know is single and wanting to be married, i highly recommend getting our book, not because I wrote it, but because I genuinely think it has valuable insights that will seriously help! This book is not filled with stereotypes and cliches, but goes more real and deeper!

Wow, I've made a 1250 day streak in Duolingo 🤯🥳🥳🥳😎 I know a few words in Korean now, but not as many as you might think for such a log streak 😅🤣

Meeting someone for dinner in about an hour and a half, but I'm hungry now 😔

In one if my dreams last night, I saw a field of glass yars. When I was waking up, I thought they must come from someone who is obsessed with @Oshi (推し) 's hodlbutter 🤣 like, they'd already managed to eat 3-500 yars of it! The littering is uncool, but I do hope Oshi has such success!

I had an online baby shower for my Swedish friends and family yesterday. We played one game. I game them a letter and started a 1 minute timer while they thought of as many names on that letter as they could, and then the one with the most unique names after tallying everyone's results won. It was so fun! There were only 4 participants at that point. The last one who had 11 names in the 2nd round ended up with 1 unique name! So, my mom who only thought of 6 names beat her with 3 unique names! 🤣

Gavin Newsome destroying California and then thinking he can become president in 2028?! 😒 He's been driving out all the good people from California since becoming governor there, and seems to think that somehow he'll be getting votes? No, dude, no one wants more of what they're pushing. Reality will crush him!

Being pregnant is fun and interesting, but I'm starting to realize that each day that passes brings me closer to the time when the baby won't just be chilling in my belly, but he'll wanna come out... 😳 and he won't he using a door...

Growing up, I always heared about struggling artists, but it was quite distant. I never imagined being one myself! On our way home today, it struck me. I'm a "struggling" artist 🤣 I've written 3 books and maybe sold a dusin total, if even that. Marketing isn't easy 😅 but I do think the books are good books!

How to be extra romantic: don't burp in your wife's face. 😎🥰

What do I do with dates? I eat them for breakfast! 😏🤣

The words we use make a difference in how we experience life. If I have a habit of saying "I have to", I might be aware that I'm making a choice, but I'm telling my emotions that I don't have a choice. But I always have a choice, I just might not like any of the consequences of making a different choice. For example, "I choose to go to work", because I like being able to buy the things I want when I want, and not going to work can get me fired, and looking for a job is hard, so I'd rather keep my current job, even if it's not my favorite." Shifting our word choices can help us feel much better about the choices we are making as well. It can remove the burden of "having to go to work" and replace it with a more positive, "I get to go to work" attitude.

I had a very interesting dream last night. There was a small group of us, including Hodl, and for some reason we all climbed up this really tall tree house. However, when we were up there, and the others decided to climb back down, Hodl looked down and was apparently afraid of heights and closed the door. I was further in the room so I was just kinda still in there. We were on opposit sides of the room, doing our own thing when we looked out one of the windows and his huge tree at a distance got set on fire (might have been lightning or something) and we had a little bit of an interaction over it. Then, because of the winds, the trees around us caught some embers and got set of fire too, at which point Hodl decided he'd rather face his fear of heights and climb down than stay up there with the fire so close. We both had backpacks with laptops and computer equipment and such that we'd been using in the treehouse, so he gathered some of his stuff before he started to climb down, and me being me, I grabbed a few more things that I thought would be nice to have before leaving, and then I woke up. I didn't feel scared of the fire, as I kinda just observed what was happening and assumed a fire truck would eventually come and put out the fire in the treetops around us, but since Hodl was leaving, I decided to go too. 🤣 We never saw the other people again.

"Don't breed while shelter animals die" is a little bit like, don't have your own kids while orphans or foster kids don't have parents...

Have you ever read this scripture, but changed out "love and it" for I? I'm pretty sure Nostriches would score way higher than Xers would on the answer being Yes to these. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Found myself in a little debate about faith today. My husband is usually the one who gets into debates. Below is Groks attempt at illustrating my mental image of the difference in my debate vs my husbands debates 🤣 The prompt was "Create a two sided image where one side is two kids fighting with wooden swords, and the other is an epic sword battle between two adults"

My husband has been practicing "secret minimization" for years, because, "you're only as sick as your secrets". So, when we met, he was honest with me about the things a lot of other people might feel ashamed to scared to share with a date. However, because he was honest, he allowed trust to grow really quickly. I knew exactly what I was getting into! He shared the things that some women would run from. Because he was honest about his history, his personality, and his dreams, I was able to choose him on purpose! His actions led me to dare to be way more brave, and share myself as well. Secret minimization is one of the keys to a healthy, connected, and loving marriage. We still practice this every day! This is why I added it to our new book, "How to prepare yourself for marriage". If you'd like to read more about this and all the other things we did to prepare ourselves to be ready for marriage, please check it out! 😃 Available for fiat in 4 formats through FikaTimeBooks.com Or a pdf for 10 000 sats through DMs! 🤗

So, this cow just walked up and stopped, perfectly framed in our window, turned its head and stared at me and started peeing! 😳🤣🤣🤣

A lot of Christians have a bad habit of degrading themselves, as if they are scum and need to deny themselves to let God get all the glory. However, all humans are made in the image of God. We are all higher than angel, which is why satan is so filled with hatred towards us. So, by degrading ourselves, we're not actually aligning with what God says about us, but what satan says about us. God said that we are very good! And now, if we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and believe that He died and rose again, and is one with God, we become a new creation! We are no longer sinners, but saints. We can commit sin, but it doesn't define us. When God looks at us, He sees something good! So, instead of disagreeing with God about who we are, it's much better to be truly humble, which is to acknowledge reality, no more and no less, which means to think of ourselves as GOOD!
