Wednesday's Word

Tears ran down her face as she listened to the words of the song she hadn’t heard before. They were truths already settled into her soul but as she listened, she realized she hadn’t been living with them at the surface of life for a while.

Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Kim-Evinda and Trench Classes United. Today’s blog is an inside look into her soul as truths refreshed themselves preparing her and us for the most important day of the year, Resurrection Sunday.

The poignant and powerful truths within the song stopped her mind from wandering and rendered her attentive.

Has that ever happened to you; you hear a song and you truly stop in the moment to be in the song? Since hearing it for the first time, my mind and soul have been stayed on the words and in preparation for the most important day of our lives, Resurrection Sunday, I decided to listen and type so that you could read one line at a time and allow it to seep into your soul so that it may bloom in your life. The song is by Benjamin William Hastings and Brandon Lake.

Something isn’t adding up; this wild exchange you offer us. I gave my worst you gave Your blood. Seems hard to believe.

You’re telling me you chose the cross; you’re telling me I’m worth that much; if that’s the measure of your love, how else would I sing, but completely, deeply, sold out sincerely abandoned. I’m completely freely hands to the ceiling enamored. My one life endeavor to match Your surrender, to mirror not my will but yours. I’m completely, deeply, don’t care who sees me abandoned Oh, I surrender all.

I just can’t get over it; what kind of self-control is this? You had angels at your fingertips but on the Cross YOU remained. I can’t repay that kind of love but I can praise with everything I got, since death had all its power robbed, then just like the grave, I’m completely, deeply, sold out sincerely abandoned. I’m completely, freely, hands to the ceiling enamored. Oh my one life endeavor is to match your surrender, to mirror not my will but Yours. I’m completely, deeply, don’t care who sees me abandoned. Oh, I surrender all…

With all of my heart, the best of my soul, each phase of my life, each breath in my lungs, consider it Yours, Lord. Consider it Yours, Lord. The failures I hide, The victories I don’t, the battles I fight, each crown that I hoard, consider it Yours, Lord; consider it Yours, Lord. All the glory forever the grave that You’ve won, the praise of the heavens, the kingdom to come, oh, consider it Yours Lord.

I’m completely, deeply, sold out sincerely abandoned; I’m completely, freely, hands to the ceiling enamored. My one life endeavor is to match Your surrender, to mirror not my will but Yours. I’m completely, deeply, don’t care who sees me abandoned. oh I surrender all. You never leave me abandoned. I surrender all…

Here's the link so you can sing along…abandoned.

Faith without a ceiling is easy with no clouds in the sky, but in the storms of life, how close is our faith? In other words, how quickly can you and do you access it?

There are so many tools of the enemy that keep us from living a life forgiven and forgiving, blinding us from our Faith in Jesus Christ. Guilt and unforgiveness are two of his biggest ones and they act as a roadblock to our faith. When we are blinded by the lies of the enemy, we tend to push our faith to the background of life instead of the forefront, where battles are won.

Join us for our next life-coaching experience in which we will uncover and learn how to use the tools necessary to break the cycle of any unresolved guilt and unforgiveness to live forgiven and forgiving! This ten-week experience is only $7.50 each week. You owe it to yourself to invest in yourself.

When’s the last time you put your to-do list aside for the sake of just being…and keeping your sanity?
 
Thank for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Today’s Message is a great reminder that there are moments throughout the day that we need to just do that, especially raising a family.
 
Most days go by
I feel unheard
Unseen
Unknown
 
The work in between
cooking , cleaning, and attempting to raise two toddler boys with another just 9 weeks away
Time seems to come and go
Like waves
Sometimes rolling fast
And other days so slow…
 
Like a lull
A dream
Except it’s the kind
Where i want to scream
 
Like waking up to an alarm
& realizing you missed everything
The anxiety…
 
The productive side of me
Wants to finish & accomplish everything
While the mother side of me
Ends up feeling guilty
For not just resting
& being
Here in this moment
Teaching, listening, playing, being
Anything other than a ball of stress
Constantly needing to know what’s next
Crossing things off each and every list
 
Where is the balance
Where is the peace?
 
Living in between
Snacks and naps
Timeouts and cries
What day even is it
In this moment of time?
 
It’s okay, i’m fine
I tell myself
When deep down I just want to cry
When schedules are remiss
& nap times don’t exist
& that thief
Comparison
Comes back again
 
Because I must be doing something wrong
Or else my kids would get along
We would have playdates
And activities
Someone to actually listen to me…
 
Yet i sit here
& just feel guilty
For feeling this type of way
& just pushing them away
Saying go play
 
& the cries
They break
Every moment of silence
& Every thought in the way
& I have to remind myself
It’s not the end of the day
 
There’s still time
To start again
& be okay
 
If a second chance
Is what I get
Then a second chance
Is what i’ll give
 
It’s time to forgive
& to let go
It’s time to remember
That I am never alone
Each day holds
An opportunity to be
Exactly what He called me
A daughter
A mother
A sister
A wife
A friend to someone
Even if that someone today
Is just me
--
Mama you are stronger than you believe
Even when the days seem long
Look beyond
& you will see
The beauty in this moment
To just be
You are not unseen
You are fully loved
& fully seen
Doing work far greater
Work for a King
Who stand beside you
& before you
Who absolutely adores you
& entrusted you with the greatest job of all
Motherhood.

 
“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” - Isaiah 43:18-19

With so much unrest around us, is it any wonder that we should be asking
ourselves…what’s next should I go? Is there really a heaven, a hell?

Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes
United. Her poem today paints a vivid reality about the necessity of living for the
Savior, the one who has all the chapters of your life wrapped up in His life.

When the clouds move
Do you hear them speak?

When the bird flaps its wings
Do you hear it sing?

How does one express
The concept
Of immortality
To someone with unbelief?

If we are to resurrect
How can we comprehend what will come next?

Truly & only by pure faith
& God’s ultimate wisdom & unmerited grace
Can we even begin to fathom or attempt to explain
The beauty of our souls
As they float into space
& transform into a magnificent & new
Immortal being
With a body that can run, laugh, play, & sing
All under the reign of our Omnipotent King

Although through tests & time our faith may slip
It all comes back to this -
Simply believing in who our Lord and Saviour is
therein lies the ultimate testament

His story is far greater
He is our Lord & our Saviour
We are here now & gone later
Our mortal life’s but a vapor

So as long as I live
I will let Him hold the pen
Writing in every chapter
The small & the big

Simply yielding
Simply learning
Searching & forever yearning
For His wisdom so hidden
Only for the sake that I may give it
In this one earthly life
Because I am forgiven
​
Are By His power
& by His grace
Through & through
To the end
Until we get to see His glorious face

Abigail

When you think of a resting place, who/what do you think of?

Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Friday with Debra Dolce and Trench Classes
United. Today’s Love Letter is a great reminder that to really “rest in Him” is to
exercise our faith.

~Love Letter~
By constantly using your faith, My life will be released deep inside of you, and
the resting place of My love will become the very source and root of your life.
Oh, what a good Word! Think about this and mull it over and over letting it
touch your Spirit. Constantly use your faith so that My life will be released
deep inside of you. Isn't this what you want?

Think about the resting place of My love. When you are in the resting place of
My love, then this will become the very source and root of your life. What does
this mean to you? When you operate out of a place of rest, My love can flow
out of you. Let My love become your source and the root of your life. This will
change how you see everything and how you will relate to not just Me, but to
everyone.

Your relationship with Me touches your relationship with everyone else. You
can see people who are angry and who have internal struggles, and still love
them when you are resting in My love. Make our relationship the most
important thing.

Have you noticed the more you seek Me the better you are, the better
equipped you are, and the better you feel about things? It is My peace, My
love, and My rest that makes your heart satisfied. All the things that you are
searching for on this earth, that you want to succeed in, should be wrapped up
in Me, for I am the true success that you are searching for. As you search for
Me above everything else, you will find Me and when you find Me, you find
everything else.

Beloved, search for Me, search for My peace, for My love and for My joy and I
will give it to you.
