SOMETHING NEW: Obsidian

It is a downloadable application that is a note taking app of sorts….

Ok I know… but Starla you post on FB, Substack, write in a journal, and blog here. And you are doing another app – YEP!

This application has snips from my blog, my journal, and my Facebook page on one topic that I wrote and have noticed were themed pieces over several months –it almost acts like a mind map.

I think I like it ALOT

And some of those boxes have scrollable content…. AND some of them have links to external pages and some link to internal other pages I’ve created. Ohhhhhhh Ahhhhhh Woooww!~

IT’S AMAZING — I can put my pieces together. I’ve tried doing this with my journal with tags and such, but it is just too linear and not at all what I had in mind. So, it has become a personal space for my thoughts. But this!! This I can take from all the places I write and put them into connected visual context. This is what “all this looks like” in my brain and how I see the pieces and parts being layered one upon another and connecting as the Lord teaches me new things.

Something I want to keep digging on

21-day challenge #12 – I had written this:

“I find it interesting that it isn’t the world or those of the world that we are to love.
To those who are not yet begotten are those who we are to call to repent and believe. But you won’t find that from John. The message of “the children of God are to love one another” is his call to herald. But you will hear it from Peter.
1 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

I think we may have it backwards.

When I was on a trip with my friend Jen, she said< “I think it’s the lack of discipleship, people haven’t been properly discipled.” She meant we haven’t been trained to call those in the world to repentance and we haven’t been trained how to love our brothers and sister and how to be full of mercy and love toward them. How to be longsuffering with those who are of the faith.

But that is what we have been called to…

In the world it seems that we have reserved love for the sinner and longsuffering (begrudgingly) for the saint. Because we think that saints should know better and that sinners don’t so give them grace…right… well not exactly…rather call the sinner to repentance and love the saint, bear with one another.

Both are love but different. There is a love that tries to keep us from eternal death and there is love that is the benefit of having eternal life.
