Am usually scared of spiders but i was kinda annoyed that day cause it was a listening exam and i couldn't focus cause of the spiders and so i just killed them aggressively and moved on until i saw one big one and that was it . I didn't get up but i immediately moved my desk and cair away from the wall so fast and people looked at me (cause it was loud) and at that same time one of the invigilators same to like confirm the people and i think i kinda scared him too. And that same day i saw many worms too, i was so paranoid the whole day 😭 and am suprised and happy at the same time that i didn't scream.

How to get to heaven❤️: We've all sinned and if God gave us justice we would end up in hell but we have a way to escape this punishment because of what Jesus did on the cross: 1- Believe that Jesus is God who died on the cross for our sins and rose again 2-Know that you are a sinner in need of a saviour and can't get to heaven by doing good or by any religious works 3- Turn from sin and obey God out of love for God and truly love everyone (reading the Bible will help a lot) (Read the Bible verses too 💗) 1- John 1:1, John 1:14, 2 Cor 5:18, 2 Cor 5:21, Acts 3:15, John 3:18 2-Luke 23:39-43, Eph 2:8, Rom 3:23 3-Matthew 25:32-40, 1 John 3:18-23, Galatians 5:6, 1 corinth 6:9-10, Matthew 25:14-30 Thanks so much for reading, God bless ❤️
