Storytime:

I am in college and veterinary students have manditory animal care shifts for the animals on campus.

Sidenote: I own a lot of cute overworn Christian sweatshirts that I wear to animal care shifts because I don't care if they get dirty.

We are scheduled with 4 other classmates during our shifts with one lead, whom was myself. So I was noticing my classmate who did animal care with me everyday, was avoiding talking to me but was really outgoing with everyone else on my team. I thought nothing of it but after about a week of this I overheard her talking with another one of our classmates about her girlfriend. I started to think that maybe she thought I hated lesbians due to my faith.

The next shift I went up to her and started trying to make small talk but she shied away and seemed kind of...scared? Is the best way I can describe it. So I asked if she did anything fun with her girlfriend the previous weekend and then she started chatting about how they went to a pumpkin patch and perked right up and became really chatty. We got to chatting and she saw the mini clay pumpkins I had on my backpack and I told her I could make some for her and her girlfriend if she wanted, etc. Long story short, she eventually opened up and told me that she has had bad experiences with Christians and that her mom doesn't talk to her anymore because of it. I told her I was sorry. That's all it takes.

I just wanted to tell this story because I want Christians to be aware that a little kindness goes a long way, and that everything we do as Christians, represents Jesus and Christianity at the end of the day. The only way we can make disciples of all nations is to let people around us see the fruit of the Spirit by our actions and how we carry ourselves. Plant that seed and let God do the rest. 😊🙏

God Bless!

Along with all the other sexualities other than gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

My husband and have been through hell and back to try to conceive and after many prayers, I finally hit the 2nd trimester! We have a baby girl due and we both like this name but we want to run it by other people first, to see if it would be hard to pronounce or be mispronounced regularly.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Kay-LEE-uh is the pronunciation we are going for. We are open to new spellings of this name to try to achieve this pronunciation too!

I don't want to mess up or say the wrong things and disappoint God or interpret something wrong for young believers out there. But I feel like God has been calling me to do this for years now.

I also get nervous to talk in front of others. What do y'all think? How should I go about this? I don't even know if I have the money to start a podcast and get all the equipment.

I am thinking of calling it Faith With Maya (that's my name). Any other ideas?

I started a new job and have a lot of anxiety every single day before going to work. It is a new career that I'm still in college for so it's all new stuff that I'm learning. But my anxiety is so debilitating. I'm afraid I'll mess up or do or say something wrong. I am a pretty slow learner. I just wanted to ask for help from other Christians because I have prayed to Jesus about it and although He has helped me to understand and learn things at work, I feel as tho my anxiety isn't subsiding.
