Humility seems to have become a stranger in the world of social media
while pride-full opinions have risen to a whole new level.

Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Friday with Debra Dolce and Trench
Classes United. Today’s love letter is a great reminder to be mindful of
how, where and when we express an opinion, lets it be prideful. Pride-full
opinions deplete others and compete with others, and that’s the
opposite of humility.

~Love Letter~
My child, be free from pride-filled opinions for they will only harm your cherished
unity. Don't allow self-promotion to hide in your heart, but in authentic humility put
others first and view others as more important than yourself.

Meditate on this good Word. Most people believe this has nothing to do with them
but it is as valid now as it was then. I say for you to spend time with Me and let's
examine your heart together. If you will humble yourself before Me, then you will see
if there is any pride in you. Is there self-promotion hiding in your heart? Are you full
of your own opinions?

I Am and I'm a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me. I want you to experience
My never-ending love and to know you can never get away from it. Know that
beyond a shadow of a doubt, you are My child.

When you truly know all these things with your inner being, then you can trust Me to
care for you. My love and care go hand in hand. You can trust Me to know and do
what's best for you.

Beloved, now is the time to humble yourself and put others first and view others as
more important than yourself and in due time I will exalt you.

Sally walked into the dentist’s office to make an appointment. “How
much do you charge to pull out a tooth,” she asked.
The receptionist’s prompt reply was $130
$130! That’s ridiculous! There must be a way to do it cheaper.
“Well, said the receptionist thoughtfully, I suppose if the dentist doesn’t
numb it we could take off $30.”
“Only 30 bucks? That’s still 100 bucks. I can’t afford that; can’t you go
any lower?”
“Well,” said the receptionist after a long pause, “I suppose if the dentist
uses a wrench, we could knock it down to $50.”
“Perfect,” said Sally. “I would like to make an appointment for my
husband next Tuesday.”
​
Oh, my goodness, there is a reason the Word of God says love others
as you love yourself! Financial gain shouldn’t be at the expense of others
well-being.

She hurried down the hall, her mind a jumbled mess as she tried to
imagine how she would accomplish all that she needed to accomplish to
prepare for their next trench class.

Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Kim-Evinda and
Trench Classes United. Have you ever been so overwhelmed that you
wanted to go under? Today’s word shares a great reminder that He
always makes a way as His Word reminds us in Isaiah 43:16.

“I’ve always made a way.”
The words not only stopped her physically, but emotionally as well. They
quieted her soul as she remembered all the other times He had
intervened in ways only He could.

After signing in on Zoom for her first deposition of two in a workers’
compensation case, she got dressed and left the distraction of worry and
frustration behind. She began editing the deposition from the day before
to send out.

Time seemed to escape her and the next time she looked up at the clock
it was 10:30, 30 minutes past the scheduled starting time.
“That’s weird,” she mumbled aloud. She called her office. “Gloria, am I
having a deposition today?” Her office manager promised to get ahold of
the client and call her back.

Twenty minutes later, she did. “You’re never going to believe this: They
settled the case and forgot to tell us. Fill out a worksheet for both jobs.”

Any other day, this might have disappointed her, especially financially,
but as she sat there a realization lifted her to humbled and relieved at
the same time…but there was something else that came to the surface
of the soul: She would be getting paid for doing what He had for her to
do that day.

Friend, I don’t know why I’m always surprised when He intervenes the
way that He does, but somehow, I am. What a great reminder that no
matter what we are going through, He always makes a way…each and
every day.
Love,
Kim-Evinda

​Do you remember a time as a child when you were told to stop crying?
Chances are you said yes. When I asked my trench class that question
last week, everyone raised their hand. We all giggled at the truth, but
then as it settled over and in each of us, my next teaching point rose to
the surface. We’ve been taught from a young age to not feel, to bury
whatever’s bothering us and not deal.
The truth is that doesn’t solve anything; in fact, it creates more problems,
especially relationally.
I love watching people’s expressions as the truths they are learning
settle in and bring revelation and understanding to the surface. I know
for me, that all these truths that have been deposited in my soul have
helped keep me up when life tries to take me down.
For more information on why and what we do, check out the link below.
In the meantime, have a terrific Tuesday.
Love,
Kim-Evinda

Distractions, distractions, distractions! They’re everywhere, in our home out of our
home, on our phones, our computers, in our minds. Sometimes we need to disconnect
so we don’t distract ourselves away from that which we need the most. In other words,
there is One that we need to be tuned into that we may know what/who to tune out.
Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Friday with Debra Dolce and Trench Classes
United. We are confident that this love letter will be a great reminder that distractions
can often be a tool of the enemy keeping us from spiritual connection.

~Love Letter~
"Martha, My beloved Martha. Why are you upset and troubled, pulled away by all these
many distractions? Are they really that important;" This is what I say to you today! Why
are you so distracted?
Has your life become so filled that there's no room to sit with Me? Are you so busy
working for Me that there's no time to be with me?
Take some inventory on what is really important. Some are pulled away by ministry, job,
home, children or family. Are you found in any of these? That ought not to be, for
without Me you can do nothing. Realign yourself today so that you don't get caught up in
any of these.
I say get ready to celebrate for I am releasing new gifts and blessings. I have so much
for you as you continually make Me your priority. Stay focused on what I am doing that
you don't miss things, for when you're distracted you won't notice a change.
Beloved, stay in tune, keep your heart sensitive to Me and how I'm moving in this day.

​Welcome to Thursday’s Trench Truth, which is all about relationships.
Do you tend to feel upset when you feel others are distancing themselves from you
and/or do you have a hard time being alone, or…Do you enjoy time with others and feel
comfortable in your own skin when alone.
Oh, I remember the days as a single mom and my son would be with his dad. I’d come
home and the house was so quiet, and I’d literally fill up with anxiety, not knowing what
to do with myself. I didn’t know how to be comfortable in my own skin. Oh, and I always
had to have a guy in my life, or someone around in order to feel like I was someone.
That was so many healing years ago, and yet, I’ve still been known to say “I don’t need
a man,” and I’ve heard many other girlfriends say that as well. Why do we say things
like that? Well, from my experience, those words are spoken out of a past
disappointment, hurt and even betrayal, but really, the only one that that attitude hurts is
ourselves because God intended that we do life in relationships, not in spite of
relationships. Life is a team sport and in order to really become more like Him, it
requires the classroom of “relationships.”
Perhaps it’s time to discover the difference between self-dependence and healthy
independence. If you’d like to learn how to feel comfortable in your own skin, have a
balanced relational life, then plan on joining us TONIGHT!
For more information, go tot www.trenchclassesunited.com/classes I hope to meet you
there.
Love,
Kim-Evinda

​She continued to read in Romans Chapter 2, 5-11, and the final verse in her devotion
rendered her convicted: 11 “For there is no partiality with God.”
Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Kim-Evinda and Trench Classes
United. Have you ever found yourself feeling so frustrated, disillusioned and duped and
venting in the name of “righteous anger”? This is the place that Kim-Evinda
transparently shares with us today.
Sitting in her quiet time, reading the Only Book that brought her revelation,
understanding, direction and healing, she couldn’t stop the conviction that washed over
her as she rewound the day before, which had been replete with frustration
disillusionment and wrapped up with what she justified as “righteous anger,” She
realized that this anger was beginning to poison her attitude and come out in her
actions.
As she sat meditating on the portion of scripture she had just completed, a few truths
made themselves known to her, washing away her need to understand, and not only
stopping the anger but sending it back to its rightful place: the pit of hell. Humility
soothed her soul as she shared with God that she felt duped on so many levels, buying
into the truths that others had been sharing, all in “His name,” but apparently, they too
had been filled with too much righteous anger and had gotten caught up in their hopes
for a different ending according to their desires that they felt lined up with God.
Life can be like that, like a roller coaster that is coasting up the steep, steep hill then
suddenly takes a sharp turn or a sudden descent into unknown territory and we’re left
screaming, if not vocally, certainly inside.
But what had happened didn’t change God; what had happened didn’t change His love
for any of us, she thought, including those who she felt had been blatant in their
schemes.
She wept and surrendered her “righteous anger,” allowing God to take the gavel out of
her hand and put it back in His, where it belonged. This surrender released trust to seep
into all the crevices of her heart, filling it with a peace so beyond her own
comprehension.
Friend, is there someone or something that has you stuck in anger? No matter what
happens, remember this: God’s ways are not our ways; He is righteous; He sees it all,
and He will have the final say in all that concerns us.
Love,
Kim-Evinda

Welcome to Tuesday’s Trench Truth
Are you one that tends to avoid conflict and/or anything involving emotions, or…will you
initiate a difficult conversation to resolve a problem? Ahh, two years into my marriage
that I learned that my husband was one of those avoiders, that difficult conversations
were not only avoided but created more problems for us. It wasn’t until I read the book
How We Love by Milan and Kay Yerkovich that I learned why…
Friends, how we were loved absodarnlutely affects how we love who we love. That’s not
to bash parents…at all. Our parents did the best they could with what they had been
given.
But what if you could change this tendency to avoid difficult conversations and learn
how to get in touch with healthy ways to resolve conflict, solve problems, thus
strengthening all of your important relationships?
We’d like to offer you that opportunity to join us in a trench near you to learn this and
more because God’s design for relationships is to make us better, not bitter.

Let’s face it, what was once wrong is now right and what was once right is
being portrayed as wrong.
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench
Classes United. Her words today remind us that when we are looking
toward the One true Light, we will never stay in the dark.
​
There in the dark
Is right where You are
A small flicker of Light
A glimpse of Hope
In this stream
That constantly tries to drown me
But this curse
Is my blessing
A testing
Of faith
A baptism of fire
and because of that
My heart will transpire
Bringing to light
My soul’s true desire
To know
and be known
By the One who sits upon the Heavenly throne
Like a bird flying home
Dropping seeds
I watch them grow
Into the Vine
Of delight
Never losing faith
Never losing sight
Try the devil might
But for me
I choose to fight
and by His wings
I am covered
Like the shield of a mother
Protecting her babes
No matter how far they may stray
Knowing they will come home
In this battle for their soul…
“Fight the good fight of faith;
Lay hold of the eternal life
To which you were summoned and
[for which] you confessed the good confession
[of faith] before many witnesses”
- 1 Timothy 6:12
