about

Welcome to The Wiccan Christian. I’m sure many people wonder, “What exactly does that mean?” The truth is, I’m not sure there’s an official definition. If there is, I suppose that’s what I am. Hi, my name is Cindy. I created this blog to be something like a diary—a place to share my thoughts, favorite quotes, Bible verses, spiritual reflections, and the little things I’ve learned along the way. Some of these ideas are my own. Others have come from people whose words stayed with me long after I heard them. Together, they’ve helped shape the person I am today. I won’t promise that this blog will be perfectly organized because, quite honestly, I’m not an organized person. What I can promise is honesty. My hope is that by sharing my experiences, someone else might feel understood. Maybe you’ll see a piece of your own story in mine. I believe that sharing our stories takes away fear, replaces judgment with understanding, and reminds us that none of us are truly alone. I’ve lived through some incredibly beautiful moments, and I’ve also experienced some of life’s deepest wounds. Those experiences have left scars that may never completely disappear, but they have also shaped my strength, my faith, and my compassion for others. I don’t define myself by what I’ve been through. I define myself by the fact that I’m still here, still growing, still learning, and still believing there is hope. I’m a survivor. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you’ll stay awhile, and I hope something you read here brings you comfort, encouragement, or simply reminds you that someone else understands. Welcome.
  • Something Always Attracts Me To The Time

    Something Always Attracts Me To The Time

    For the last two evenings (maybe more), I’ve woken up at 12:30am, thinking my Alexa clock said 4 o’clock. I go to use the restroom, and when I come out I look at the clock on the stove, it says 12:30am. This has happened on at least two occasions, maybe even more. But this time it happened two (2) nights in a row.

    I don’t know what attracts me to pay so much attention to time. I feel like numbers tell us something and in time is where I notice the numbers the most.

    I don’t even know if this is explainable. But I believe numbers carry messages with them. But for me, I mainly see numbers in the time. Numbers like 2:22, 3:33, 1:11, 11:11, etc. 12:12… I could go on, but I think people get my drift.

    I have an angel numbers book I usually look into. Otherwise I google or ChatGPT to get my answers to the meanings of specific numbers.

    My last blog you probably saw a lot of numbers as I screenshotted the double digit times often, as I saw them. I won’t lie overload this site with various angel numbers. But I have a great desire to pray whenever I see them.

  • Love Never Fails

    Love Never Fails

    Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

    This may be repetitious, but this is the best instruction, in my opinion, on how we are to show and demonstrate love to mankind:

    1 Corinthians 13 from the NIV:

    If I speak in tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, l am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man. I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.

    Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

    And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

    Peace ☮️ and Amen 🙏

  • Victoria’s Secret, Kohl’s Clothing and doTERRA Essential Oils

    Victoria’s Secret, Kohl’s Clothing and doTERRA Essential Oils

    What are your favorite brands and why?

    I don’t know that Kohl’s is a brand, but it seems since I’ve quit smoking cigarettes Kohl’s jeans are what fit.

    There are a lot of things I like about Victoria’s Secret, but mainly their bras and perfume. Heavenly to be specific. But I’ve been thinking about switching to another scent. Victoria’s Secret has some great scents.

    Lastly, I am a wellness advocate for doTERRA essential oils. They sell more than just essential oils. They also carry products for face, body and hair. I love this brand and very much enjoy making DIY’s with doTERRA oils.

  • My Therapist

    My Therapist

    List the people you admire and look to for advice…

    I hate to say this, but I suffer from complex PTSD. I say suffer, because it truly is suffering. I don’t trust anybody, but I do trust my therapist. I’ve been seeing her for probably six (6) years and I feel I can tell her anything. Why not? She gets paid to listen. And I don’t worry about her judging me. Just giving me super advice and sharing great coping skills that can replace the ones that no longer serve me.

    I also started seeing this PE therapist about a month ago. It’s been a struggle, because it’s bubbling things to the surface. But I am trusting the process and living in hope that this PE therapy will be effective.

    And lastly, I admire anybody that can put up with my moodiness, which includes a relationship. But I don’t see that in the cards for any time in the near future. So, I’ll just stick with my therapist for now.

  • When I Was Hit By a Train

    When I Was Hit By a Train

    Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

    I was 18 years old and going to a local Technical College. It was in the middle of my home town, I was on my way to pick my little girl up from Granzy’s house on my way home from the college. I could hear the train, but I could not see it as there was a huge building right up to the tracks. Crossing did not have guards. And well, since I couldn’t see the train I just followed the car ahead of me over the tracks. They made it, I did not. The train was behind the building and I just didn’t get out of the way fast enough. It hit my rear end, swinging the car around into the opposite direction.

    I know I always say this. But to make a long story short, the only injury I sustained that day was the breakdown of my ego.

    A few days later I was in school. A Soo Line RR spokesperson came to the school to talk to me. We met in a conference room after I was called out of class.

    He had with him a briefcase, which he sat on the table and pulled out a typewriter and personal business check. He asked, “How can we make this right today?”.

    Me, being the stupid, naive, young person that I was, I just cried about my car.

    The man asked me, “So, how much did you pay for the car?”.

    ‘$250’ I sobbed. I had no car. I’m even sure whose vehicle I used temporarily until I could get a different one.,

    The man opened his suitcase and took out a typewriter and a blank check from SooLineRR. He typed me a check for $250 and I never heard from him again. I’m assuming cashing that check was the agreement we needed.

    Oh, if only I was smarter…..Guards arms were finally put on that crossing, within one or two(2) months of my accident.

  • Mostly Spiritual

    Mostly Spiritual

    What topics do you like to discuss?

    I’m a wonderer of the universe and what makes it tick. I enjoy talking about God and the wonderful things he does, that people may not even notice. But I do. I notice his miracles every day in nature. I believe he’s speaking when the wind blows. I notice the difference in the seasons by the sounds of the wind through the trees.

    Nature tells us everything we need to know about God. We are small on this planet, just mere ants. Though God has given us this universe to exist. And as fast as he gives it to us he can also take it away from us.

    I also believe we are all given special gifts or talents made specifically for each one of us. It’s up to us to recognize them and utilize them for the betterment of the world.

    What you do does make a difference in this world, whether you believe it or not. We are all connected as one body with many parts. If we all had the same talents we would not have a complete body. It speaks of this metaphor in the Bible. And as it says, makes complete sense (Romans12:4-5, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Ephesians 4:16).

  • After Trump Came On The Scene, Yes

    After Trump Came On The Scene, Yes

    Do you vote in political elections?

    I never paid attention to politics, until Trump ran for president the first time in 2016.

    I may get a lot of haters for this post, but I like Trump. He’s different. And that’s what makes him set apart from any president we have ever had. He may be outspoken, but that’s one thing I like about him. He’s not afraid to tell the truth to people, even if it hurts, or may not be politically correct. He has a very good head on his shoulders when it comes to business and making deals. And the bottom line is he truly cares about America and our safety.

    He gets a terrible rap from main stream media, whom actually tells complete lies about him, mostly to put fear in the people. When people panic bad things happen. And it’s the media playing the games.

    President Trump has accomplished more in one year than Biden or any president has accomplished in such a short period of time. And I believe if people can patiently wait out the high prices they will come down naturally once this excursion with Iran is over.

    People are upset at him for shaking that tree too. But people are refusing to understand, that for the safety of the entire world, we cannot allow Iran to continue terrorizing like they have been for 47 years. In the past we’ve just thrown money at them to keep them away. But it’s time to put an end to the fear.

    And of course I pray for our military. But we need to remember what exactly the military does. They serve and protect the country. That is the career they chose, knowing full well of the possible dangers. It’s what they signed up for. And of course, we don’t want anybody to be hurt. But remember, it’s their job. Just like the police and secret service. And Trump wants them paid well for the service they do for the entire country. People just have no gratitude for our military. And that is upsetting. Instead of arguing about the war why don’t we show our troops our love and support? They are only doing their job.

    I could go on about this subject, but I’m probably going to lose followers for this already so I will end it here.

    Peace ☮️

  • Bobber is my Best Buddy

    Bobber is my Best Buddy

    Bobber and I have really connected. He comes and lays by me now and looks for some loving on occasion. He likes attention when I’m home. Especially since it seems like I’m not home often enough. But I am. I only go to work a few hours a week. It just feels long because I don’t get home to at least 5:30. But if I’ve got errands to run it can get as late as 6:30pm. That’s about what Bobber will tolerate before he starts trouble in the house.

    Yes, this cat is messy when I’m not around to keep him in line. I can always tell if I’ve been gone too long for his liking. My spheres all end up rolling around on the floor. I still have yet to find two (2).

    Through all this complaining though, I love Bobber and won’t give him up for nothing. We both have our understandings of each other and we respect that. He is a wonderful emotional support pet. When I cry he pays attention. He tries to make me feel better. Sometimes he just sits by me and watches. Which I don’t mind at all. He looks at me in a way that I see love and compassion and empathy from his eyes as he sits near and watches me.

    I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube on TV. Things about cats; like “Why your cat does this….” Or “13 signs your cat loves you”, etc. Things of that nature. I’m learning a lot more than I ever knew about cats.

    For example: I think Bobber has a nervous tick, that he may do when he’s bored or anxious. That would be his constant grooming. I know cats like to groom themselves. But Bobber is obsessive. He’s always grooming. They say to stop the constant grooming is to give them something to do when you’re gone to keep them busy for a while and give them enough attention when you get home.

    I live in a studio apartment. We know what a studio apartment consists of, and that’s not enough room for Bobber. He gets bored.

    I could go on and on about my YouTube learnings.

    Peace ☮️

  • God And My Bible

    God And My Bible

    What gives you direction in life?

    I specifically refer to 1 Corinthians 13. I feel this is my best direction in life. To live according to God’s direction on HOW to love people. I try my best to follow it, though

    I am a sinner just like everybody else. I make mistakes. When I recognize a sin in my own life I try to atone for it and do better. That’s all we can do. And that’s all that God expects of us.

  • July 4th

    July 4th

    What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

    July 4th is my favorite holiday, because it’s normally really hot. And I can float around in the pool. And of course, I love really good fireworks 🧨 The state fair are the best fireworks I have seen. I haven’t seen them there on the Fourth of July, but I see them every time I go to a concert down there during state fair season (which, I know, is not July 4th). But I still count them as the best so far.
