I'd love to answer anybody's questions, but I'll usually avoid the ones about friends or relationships because those tend to bore me. :) I am knowledgable in a variety of topics, specifically fashion, etiquette, and questions about spirituality
/religion. Proper grammar and spelling is * sOoOo freekin hAwTt*.
But anyhow, I will try to answer every question as best as I can. I can't promise, however, to sugar-coat things or tell you what you want to hear, or rid my answers of any sarcasm, but I'll try. :)
I am a strong Christian that likes to study other religions, so I can better see eye-to-eye with people who have different opinions than my own. I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be, so please, never take any of my answers too personally. :)
In my spare time, I love playing the piano, listening to folk/indie music, doing volunteer work, writing, studying Spanish, learning about fashion and make-up, and acting competitively.
Ciao! :)

I posted another question a few days ago about my Dad. But, for I think four or five years, I've been praying that my Dad would stop yelling. My mom has been praying since the day I was born that he would stop. He cusses, screams, you name it at me and my family. I can't take it. I'm crying typing this. I thought God answered all prayers. Why can't he answer this one? (link)

Wow! Hearing your dad yell and curse at your family has got to be difficult for you, and I applaud you for turning to God for His help!
First of all, God WILL answer your prayers, but it will be on His time. This can be difficult, since we tend to want things on our time, but in the end, we may realize that God's timing was that way for a reason! So don't give up! 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says "Pray without ceasing." God will answer your prayers at the best time for you.
Also, keep your heart open for His answer! God can reveal things to us in so many different ways, and it may or may not be a clear as daylight answer, or result in your dad's immediate change. Have daily quiet time with God, read through the Scriptures, and talk with a Christian friend or church leader, so you can allow God to speak to you in as many ways possible.
But most importantly, trust God! He won't let you down, he loves you too much. Even though this trial in your life may seem like too much for you and your family to deal with right now, God will never give you more than you can handle. You may find down the road that this strengthened your faith in ways you never could have guessed! So keep an open mind, and trust God. If you need some inspiration, read 1 Chronicles, chapter 5.
