Happy Blogiversary! + A Special Announcement! β™‘

Hi, P.I.M PALS! (πŸŽ€o^-^o)/ 🌸🀍

It’s me, Selene, and welcome to today’s very special blog post, for I am celebrating my fourth anniversary of my blog, P.I.M & PINK, or in other words, my fourth “blogiversary”! 🀍

I sincerely hope that you all have been doing well. πŸ™βœ¨ 

It has honestly been a while since I have done a purely written blog post like this, but in a way, it feels like home, lol. 🀍✨

I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge my blog’s fourth anniversary, which was actually on September 20, 2024. 🀍✨

However, I ended up not posting about my “blogiversary” that day because my sister’s wedding actually fell on the same day as my “blogiversary”, and since then, I have also been very busy. 🀍✨ 

And with that being said, I still wanted to take this time to thank God, my family, and those of you, my dear P.I.M PALS, for sincerely supporting my blog, P.I.M & PINK, for four years. πŸ™πŸ€βœ¨

Whether you have been here since the beginning, or you subscribed to my blog much later, I sincerely and wholeheartedly appreciate all of your love and support on my blog posts. πŸ™πŸ€

I will admit that my blog has been a β€œslow burn” over these past four years, for it has been growing slowly but surely. 🌱

Furthermore, as a Christian blogger who specifically creates content about purity, innocence, and modesty from a biblical perspective, I know that not all of the information I share is popular, hence the phrase, “slow burn”.

However, rather than let that discourage me or make me impatient, I will instead continue to trust and believe that God’s Word, which I incorporate into all of my blog posts, as well as the encouraging messages that God puts on my heart to write, speak, and share on my blog, will not go void or go to waste. βœπŸΌπŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ’»πŸ€βœ¨

After all, God says it Himself in the Scripture verse, 🀍 Isaiah 55:11 (NIV) 🀍 in the Bible, in which He states, “so is My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to me empty, but I will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” πŸ—£οΈπŸ€βœ¨

Plus, I always remind myself of the Scripture verse, 🀍 Galatians 6:9 (ESV) 🀍 in the Bible which says, “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” πŸ’ͺ🀍✨

And with all of that being said, my blog since the very beginning has indeed reached, encouraged, and blessed many people who need it from all around the world, regardless of it being a “slow burn”, for I am truly so happy to be creating content for myself and all of you that you resonate with and feel encouraged by, for it is truly my heart’s desire to do so. 🀍✨

And as I have stated on my blog before, I truly believe that God’s plan was for me to start this blog not only to help me but to inspire or encourage YOU. ✨

As 🀍 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV) 🀍 in the Bible states, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” ✨

Also, 🀍 Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) 🀍 in the Bible states, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” ✨

Overtime, I have also become more and more fearless throughout my blogging journey, considering the fact that I went from posting purely written blog posts at first to eventually building up the courage to posting videos of myself talking on my blog too. ✨

Recently, I even posted my first video of me singing and praising and worshiping God entitled, “My First Song Cover!“, on my blog as well, which honestly felt like another breakthrough for me. πŸŒΈπŸŽΌπŸŽ€πŸ€βœ¨

And with that being said, before I bring this post to a close, I wanted to make a special little announcement, for I will be starting two YouTube channels, one for my blog, P.I.M & PINK, and the other will be a personal channel with a variety of content coming soon, so please look forward to new and exciting videos, blog posts, content, and special events, coming your way in the future! πŸ˜„πŸ€βœ¨

Overall, I am just going to continue being me and encouraging myself and others to strive to live a life of purity, innocence, and modesty that pleases and reflects the One True, Living God, Jesus Christ, and aligns with His Holy Word, even in the midst of this impure, corrupt world that we live in, for that is my personal burden and mission from God, as well as what my blog, P.I.M & PINK, is all about. 🀍✨

As the theme Bible verse for my blog, P.I.M & PINK, states,

🀍 Philippians 2:15 🀍

✨ “That you may be pure and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a twisted and perverse generation, among whom you shine like the stars in the sky and as lights in the world.” ✨

ο½₯:*:ο½₯ο½‘β˜†ο½‘ο½₯:*:ο½₯

Therefore, as children of God, let us continue to walk on this narrow path of purity, innocence, and modesty together, even if it is not always easy or popular to do, and let us encourage one another as we are called to do by God, our Heavenly Father, with Jesus Christ, walking alongside us! 🀝🀍

After all, Jesus Christ is the Creator and perfect LIVING example of purity, innocence, and modesty, and He gives us the strength to fight off any temptations that the devil tries to put in our way. πŸ’ͺ🀍✨

Though we may stumble, we will not fall, for Jesus upholds us with His hand, as it says in 🀍 Psalms 37:24 (NIV) 🀍 in the Bible. 🀝🀍✨

🀍

Happy Thanksgiving: From Grief To Comfort

Happy Thanksgiving, P.I.M PALS!

πŸ‚\(o^-^o)/πŸ‚

🍁

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time when we celebrate the people and things we are thankful for and embrace those of whom we are most grateful. While Thanksgiving typically brings about great joy, it can also be a time of great sorrow and grief for those who have lost loved ones. For those who have lost people close to them, Thanksgiving can be a painful reminder of what they once had instead of a celebration of what they are grateful for. If you are one of these people currently grieving the loss of a loved one or loved ones this Thanksgiving, then here is what I want to tell you:

Run to Jesus. His arms are wide open and are filled with a deep love that only He can give you. If you feel lonely this Thanksgiving Day (or any day for that matter), remember that Jesus sincerely loves you and that He wants you to live in His love. Know that Jesus’s love will bring you the ultimate comfort in the midst of your pain and sorrow.

There are several Bible verses that speak of Jesus’s care towards those in sorrow, a few of which I have listed to remind you of the love and comfort He gives to those who are brokenhearted or crushed in spirit.

🍁 Matthew 5:4 (ESV) 🍁

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”

🍁 Psalm 147:3 (ESV) 🍁

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

🍁 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) 🍁

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

🍁 Psalm 34:18 (NIV) 🍁

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

🍁 Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) 🍁

Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

🍁 Romans 8:38-39 (NIV) 🍁

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Therefore, reader, by running towards God, your Father in Heaven, and crying out to Him about the loss of your loved one or loved ones, you will receive His comfort and peace that surpasses your own human understanding, and God will turn your wailing into dancing, as it says in the Bible verse, Psalm 30:11-12 (NIV) which says, “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.” 🎼✨

With that being said, Happy Thanksgiving, P.I.M PALS. β™‘

I hope that all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving day today filled with joy and peace! For there is so much to be thankful for even in this life that is filled with many hardships. ✨🍁 πŸ¦ƒ
