I did a great one today and I want to do them sooo much more!

I know it says we should forgive those who hurt us because it’s more for ourself than the other person. But how do you do that? There is a prayer that I read in “My Pocket Prayerbook” (the prayer: An Act of love), and in there prayer it says “I forgive all those who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured”. I feel a bit ashamed because there are some people I can’t think of forgiving, even if it’s just saying “I forgive you” in my head. So how does someone truly forgives someone else without feeling that in doing so, that other person got their way?

Hi! My name is Sophia and I live in Southern California. I am a lash artist and photographer. I am the youngest of 14 kids all from the same parents, and I have one daughter that is currently 21 years old. I recently just came back to God after over 20 years of turning away from him…. He called me back in October 2025 and my life has been forever changed since then. I was raised Catholic, and basically went through the motions of school, mass, prayer without ever being taught to or how to have a relationship with God. It wasn’t til now that I’m searching for him and trying to build that relationship with him.. and to understand what it is he is calling me to do with my life that i have had some very profound experiences and conversations with him. I’m looking forward to growing closer to God with each passing day and to connect with others who have beautiful stories to share about his love and mercy… and the graces that he bestows upon us.

I live in Orange County CA and am lucky enough that we have the Shroud of Turin experience here. I just wanted to share some photos and a video of the experience… for those who aren’t familiar.. the shroud is the linen cloth that Jesus was laid on and covered with… this is more of a projection/replica as the Vatican has the original shroud in storage. You can see all the wounds consistent with his passion- the blood pooling on this left chest where he was pierced, the crown of thorns and the punctures in his head, and over 700 wounds he was inflicted… you can also see his face and the nail holes in his hand. The crazy thing is the image is barely deep into the thread.. I think they said something like .2mm or something crazy like that… it cannot be replicated by any technology that we have.. and the blood type is AB, and matches the same blood type found in Eucharistic miracles.. also consistent with blood that is released when someone has a very traumatic experience. It was an incredible journey into his passion and the evidence he left behind for us that it truly did happen and this is not just about religion.. but also true history.

Hey there! if you're reading this than that means you're in the "founders club" you are here before almost anyone. It also means for me that there's a lot of work to be done. This is a place for family, for fellowship under God. A place where you can and WILL grow with God. A place and a commitment to full surrender to Him. and I just know that being here will bring you so much closer to Him, it will for us all. That's why this is so important. Sometimes I feel like I can't express how important and valuable something is for me, but what we're building here is something that has been divinely appointed. And it's my job to share this with you. So let me share with you a little bit of what the roadmap will be for this "School of the Spirit": 1. 0-50 members - this is where we are currently get to know each other, start making this place feel like an actual gathering. 2. 50-100 Members - Here we'll start pumping in more fuel into the fire. Weekly calls, Having other people share their unique perspectives, their path with Christ, and how they built a successful life/business/channel or whatever they are good at, by following God. 3. 100-150 Members - Community led events, having people from the community join me for calls and speak on their own struggles / wins. Think of it like a weekly podcast with the people who you call your brothers and sisters in this community. 4. 400+ Members - New opportunites / maybe things like mentorships, not to clear on this yet. (still need to consult with the Holy Spirit). The goal with this community is to create a small bubble where you can be who God made you to be, and to remember that he lives in you. A community where you treat others and are treated like The Christ. So we may all be a little bit more like Him ;) Thank you for listening to me Yap! AND GOD BLESS YOU!
