The rapture

So this is going to be a faith-based post, and the topic is the rapture.

I grew up in a denomination that does not believe in the rapture. We believe in Jesus, the holy spirit and God. The trinity but no rapture.

The first time I heard about the rapture was on an episode of The Simpsons. I had no idea other Christians believed in that.

Reading the Bible in 2018, I did not get any hints of a rapture. In my denomination, we primarily discussed the second coming of Christ, and that was the bulk of the teachings. Nothing about some secret rapture and people being taken off the earth.

I don't believe in it. This is something you either do or don't. It's not because some Christian says it's going to happen that makes it true. Jesus said he is the truth. Jesus never spoke of some taking and leaving of believers or people.

Also, with God living in us, we need to test the spirits to make sure it's true. Every human, including those in the Bible, was flawed. They have a limited understanding, and I have a limited understanding. I could come up with an idea and start sharing about it, and there would be people who believe it to be the truth. It's human nature.

I am not saying you are wrong; you could be right if you believe in the rapture. I am just stating my belief and my viewpoint. Some see it as a good thing, but I see it as quite scary. Imagine being at home and suddenly, people in your family disappear. It sounds terrifying.

Yet for some, this might be comforting. While I don't believe in it. If God would remove people on earth because what would happen would be too much for them to handle, I would hope that he would do that for me.  As it is, it's hard to handle the state of the world. The fires, the extreme heat, the really bad storms, the lack of precipitation, etc. That any evil force that would be unleashed on this world probably would be too much for me to handle.

The denomination I was raised in and currently attend, I fear something bad happening to us, as there are rumours by other people that something horrible is going to happen to those in the denomination.

Well, being a believer in so many places in the world can get you killed. And it's been like this since Jesus' time.

I am not saying that if you believe in a rapture, you are wrong and I am right. I don't know. I just don't have the belief that it's going to happen, and personally, I find it all terrifying. Imagine being in a plane and suddenly the pilot is taken away. It just doesn't sound like something God would do. Especially since God is love.

At the end of the day, I am open to the possibility that I might be wrong. However, as I am on my journey and have had time to reflect, I don't believe in it. That's just me! 

Friendships and Community.

I have struggled with relationships my whole life. I am an introvert, highly sensitive person (HSP), I also battle with anxiety and depression, and it's all a worldwind of emotions that I have to deal with. 

I love being with my company, and it has helped me grow more than anything else out there. Even worked as a cashier for a brief time in 2020. But this relationship matter has been a struggle for me.

It's hard when you pour yourself and it runs empty. Perhaps I have not been the best friend, and this is why I have no relationships, even though I try. But I get discouraged when I try to build relationships and they turn up void.

Doing the anthology with my company helped me to be part of something. It was a project that I am so grateful I got the chance to be part of. However, I still struggle to have that sense of community and group of people who have my back.

I have put myself out there, but that doesn't mean it's going to turn out well. I know from my business that many results are because of consistency. There is no fast track to the desired outcomes.  We don't live in a world where you snap your fingers and you are there. Most of the results come from hard work and putting in the effort. I know this, but I wish friendship and community were a little easier.

You would think that, being an adult, things would be easier. Kids hurt other kids; they are still developing and learning what's right. Yet at 44, I struggle to connect with others and make meaningful relationships. I may have too high expectations, or this is a struggle that I was given. I really do not have the answers for this. All I know is that connecting with others has been my greatest life challenge.

You will often find me alone, or if I'm with someone, it's usually a dog or my sweet pup. I don't get into a whole lot of conversations even when I attempt and put myself out there. It has all been a challenge for me.

How to connect with others? This is something I don't know how to do. It's my greatest learning curve.

I am not sure people can understand how difficult it is for me. People take things for granted because socializing is so easy for them. But for me, it has always been a struggle.

Can I be honest? My whole life, I have never had a real human friend. Most of my friendships ended. I am learning to be social, and I can be social, interact with people, but that friendship where we have each other's backs, that has never been my experience. I have had a lot of non-human relationships, but human relationships, I haven't had many at all.


I wish this world were kinder to people, more understanding and more empathetic. For some of us, it is so tough. I hear of all these people that have had friends since a young age, and I am like most of the people I have or were friends with have evaporated and gone. Except for my cousins, everyone I once knew is a stranger now.

I have begun to believe I will be one of those people who will never experience friendship. I am starting to make peace with it., Count your blessings if you have real friendship, because that is something I can only dream of.

Kingdom Alliance

 

So I thought I would post even though in my previous post, I posted a bit about Kingdom Alliance.

In February 2020, I joined my first networking company. No hate at all, just it didn't feel completely aligned. I loved the products and the people. But something was missing.

In 2023, I started to look into the opportunity and the company Girl Power Alliance( which was their name before Kingdom Alliance). I immediately investigated and saw this was something I had been praying for.

With my other company, there was a lot of new age sown into it, and I felt uncomfortable. I have always been one who loves personal development. I did a lot of reading of books, but I wanted something that was Christ-centred, and when I heard about Girl Power Alliance, I said Wow, this is something I have been wanting.

I was not sure, even though I had the inclination, I would join after meeting with one of the co-founders and attending several of their opportunity calls. I jumped in, did their sneak peek, loved what I saw, and joined.

So what exactly is Kingdom Alliance? KA is a personal, professional and leadership membership with an income opportunity. How that works is that you get people to sign up under you, then earn some. And then, as those people get people, you get money from them too. 

The thing I love about this is that you can work from anywhere; you just need a device.

Returning to blogging

 It's been a minute since I posted anything. I've decided to pick things up, and while a lot has happened since I created this blog, I originally started it as a space to share my ideas and thoughts on spiritual matters. Now, I plan to weave more into it.

When I first created this blog, I had just joined my first network marketing company. I needed a space to connect with spiritual matters, and that's where this site was born.

However, in May 2023, I joined another company that aligns more with me. It's also a network marketing company, but it's a place where I can plug in and grow. And boy, did I do quite a bit of growing in 2 years. Even though I still have a long way to go, I am much further than I thought I would be without it.

I am an ambassador with Kingdom Alliance, which is a personal, professional, and leadership membership with the opportunity for income. I have seen so many people come and go, but I just can't imagine not having the resources that I so desperately need.

Since I began growing and developing with this wonderful company, I have also, in October 2024, launched a book, an anthology to be exact, where I wrote my story. I wrote the chapter from breakdown to breakthrough, talking about overcoming a major mental health crisis and also my call out of new age that happened around the same time. This book is a collection of 14 stories of how God helped these women through a significant moment in their lives.

Writing this ignited my writing journey, and I am eager to do more. I believe this blog will be a great way to get me writing again, and I have some future written projects in mind that I would like to pursue.

If you are reading this and it's not up yet, check back. I will be working on putting this book link on my blog, where you can buy and purchase it. Don't fret, I got you!
