WEDNESDAY’S WORD Have you ever dreaded doing something but then once you did it, you felt
exhilarated and exhausted at the same time? Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Trench Classes United and Evinda Lepins as she shares life lessons from her heart to yours. “That’s a wrap!” James said when we had finished the final week of filming our next trench. We were finished! We had filmed all eight segments. I was exhausted but exhilarated at the same time. Every time I get on stage to share or teach, or I prepare to film a segment of our Transform program, I get this pit of dread in my stomach that tries like crazy to inch itself up into my mind…but finally, I have learned to give it the hand, so to speak, to not allow those “feelings” to seep into my soul and make their way to my mind to stay. Instead, I push thru those nerves, and within minutes, I forget about them and just do what I’m supposed to do: share from my heart. What made this even more of a victory is our videographer had flown in from North Carolina and he only had two days for filming, with limited hours. But that didn’t stress me out. In fact, I determined in my mind that we would do four segments each day for a total of eight…and we did it with very few retakes! (Previously, I was only able to do two segments in one sitting and I was so wiped out afterwards!) The point of all this is not to brag; please know that, but rather to let you in on this powerful truth: Our mind only knows what you tell it! So if I tell myself that I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me, guess what? I’m going to do all things…and so can you! Is there something you’ve been dreading doing, something you know you need to do, for you or someone else? Go ahead, invite Him into it and you will do it! Love, Kim-Evinda

MONDAY’S MESSAGE Rest for a minute
I know it's hard for you to do To be still To just breathe My Daughter, listen to me I am right here within your reach Can't you see How much your heart & mind mean to me? Be still my soul For this I know Will pass in time Stay strong in the fight Fight for the sanctity & sanity of your mind Fight for the joy & happiness you know is in your life It's okay to cry It's okay to breakdown in the midst of stress & strife My Daughter, this is merely life You see one day you and I will meet And all of this worry will mean nothing So hold on and cling to something And by something I mean something good Like the light and airy feeling you get as you walk in the green grass with no shoes The tickle on your toes that brings a wrinkle to your nose Letting your laughter fill the room as you begin to feel as you should Understood Because I understand Your mind wanders and doubts My plan Darling, just let go Rest in My arms You are home There is no need to know every second of every minute Of how things ought to go Be still my soul Let it go Shed the worries Shed the doubt This need for perfection Is such a deception Feel the beating in your chest Know you are giving your best Lay your burdens at my feet Now go live radically Faith filled Friday’s Oh, to walk thru 2020 with this Word from His heart to Debra’s and now to ours. Thanks for joining us for our first Faith-Filled Friday of 2020! Love Letter~ My blessed child, honor Me by trusting in Me in your day of trouble. Cry aloud to Me, and I will be there to rescue you. It's easy to trust and believe when things are good; you don't really need faith. That's when you should spend time building up and strengthening your arsenal. Memorize some new Scriptures, find new promises that give you hope so when trouble comes you have My Word hidden in your heart, then you can un-sheath it just like a warrior does a sword. When the day of trouble comes, do not fear, but rely on My Word, for it is life. And as you develop a habit of speaking life you will not be swept away. Stay in My Word and in prayer. Stay tuned to what My Spirit is saying. Do not be distracted by the "how’s" or "what ifs." Beloved, I am the Lord over all the "how's, or what ifs," remember I have a plan and it's for good and not for evil. The final page of 2019 has turned and here we are, the first day of 2020, a brand new year.
Each new year, I like to ask God for a word that I can carry with me, every day, throughout the new year. He didn’t let me down; in fact, before I could even ask, He planted this word in my mind…”mindful.” “The quality or state of being conscious or aware of something; a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings andthoughts.” This year, I want to put my energy into being “mindful”…of His presence around me and within me. This year, I want to be more mindful of others’ needs and prayer requests. This will help me take my focus from inward to upward. This year, I want to be more mindful to show love and appreciation to my husband…even when he doesn’t deserve it. This year, I want to be more mindful in my giving of my time, talents and treasures, that they would be given whole-heartedly, mindfully This year, I want to be more mindful of my relationship with Jesus, because that one relationship will guide me in all other relationships. Being “mindful” will help me live in the moments instead of watching them pass me by! What about you, what’s your word for this new year? Thoughtfully, Kim-Evinda |
