Welcome to Tuesday’s Truthful Humor with Trench Classes Untied where we love to laugh and pull truth from laughter.
Ralph is driving home one evening, when he suddenly realizes that it's his daughter's birthday and he hasn't bought her a present. He drives to the mall, runs to the toy store, and says to the shop assistant, "How much is that Barbie in the window?"

In a condescending manner, she says, "Which Barbie?" She continues, "We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.00."

Ralph asks, "Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.00 when all the others are only $19.95?"

"That's obvious," the saleslady says. "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture..."

Oh, my, the cost of disposing of a relationship is greater than just monetary costs; the emotional scarring follows us into each and every relationship. The grass is NEVER greener on the other side!

Give them you
All of you
Because in you
Is Me
 
Word of God speak,
I am listening
 
Daughter, you are right where you are meant to be
Slow down
Hear Me whispering
Find your peace
Within Me
and you will fill the Piece
That has been missing
 
The hole that keeps emptying
Keep giving
Surrendering
and I promise to keep fulfilling
Your needs
Your desires
They are sent from Me
 
Every good
Every perfect gift
is from above (James 1:17)
You, My daughter, are light
A beacon of my love
 
and when you break
I will catch your fall
Surrender
Give it all
let joy fill you
As full as the stars that twinkle in the dark
My own grand ball
 
 
Yes, darling break down that wall
Listen close
Hear my call
As we dance to the music
Hand in hand
Step by step
Until we hear the final call
The trumpet blows
The walls fall

When we are in the midst of challenging circumstances and even tragedies, usually the thing that consumes our thoughts is how to get out of it and the last thing we are thinking about is how God is going to turn it around.
Thanks for joining us for Faith-filled Friday with Trench Classes United and Debra Dolce. What an encouraging word for those of us sowing in tears right now.
 
Love Letter~
 
My chosen, those who sow their tears as seeds will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee. They may weep as they go out carrying their seed to sow, but they will return with joyful laughter and shouting with gladness as they bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!
 
I am sensitive to your need, your every thought and I know the intent of your heart. I'm not some faraway God stuck up in the heavens somewhere but I am as near as your breath. Why would I tell you that I would never leave you or abandon you if I was not willing to walk through everything with you?
 
I want to help you in your struggle as you exercise your faith, as you seek My direction and as you surrender to My will.
 
I am calling for a cleansing, a purging of My bride. Do not think it strange if something keeps happening but ask Me to show you what needs to be released that you may be healed and set free. Beloved, I alone am the deliverer, I alone am the ONE that sets the hearts of people free.

Welcome to Tuesday’s Truthful humor with Trench Classes United where we like to pull truth from humor😊

During lunch at work, I ate 3 plates of beans (which I know I shouldn't). When I got home, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly, "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call.

The beans I had consumed began affecting me and the pressure was becoming unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a garbage dump! I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other leg, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage.

Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on releasing atomic bombs like this for another few minutes. The relief was indescribable! Eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom, so I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.

My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peaked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table, with their hands to their noses, chorused, "Happy Birthday!"

Yes, character reveals who we are when no one is looking!

I sat quietly, taking down verbatim the spoken words by the attorneys and the witness. It was another day on the record… or so I thought.

Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Trench Classes United and Kim-Evinda. We pray that today’s blog will encourage you in your faith journey.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I was taken back to a very crucial time in my life, one of desperation, confusion, and disillusionment. There was an internal struggle happening as a result of someone else’s choices. The little girl inside me was desperately wanting them to chose differently… but they didn’t. Fast-forward to the present: I realized that, that moment from the past is colliding with my present; that the little girl inside of me is desperately wanting someone to choose differently, but I can’t make them; I can’t even help them. Instead I can only let go of them and continue to pray for them.

The tears fell fast and hard. Thank God we were on Zoom. 😊  They couldn’t see me all that well because of the way my camera is situated.

I sat there writing and crying silently for some time. Understanding began to shine down through my cloudy soul, illuminating light, drying my tears and helping me to continue letting go and letting God, trusting He’s always with me.
I finally understood why my current “Why, God”? season hurts so much. There was still a remnant of a couple of issues that He longs to heal from that “Why, God?” season from the past and they were colliding with my current circumstance.

As the revelation settled into my soul, I was reminded of how He turned that “Why, God? season into a “Wow, God!” life, not just a season, but a life that is trying to be used to help others recognize their need for Jesus.
The truth that He wastes nothing brought relief and comfort, confirming that He will use this “Why, God?” season to bring about a “Wow, God!” season. People may fail us but His promises never will!

Oh to live like I know that "...in all things, God works together for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."(Rom 8:28) Wow, God!

Love,
Kim-Evinda

Welcome to Tuesday’s Truthful humor with Trench Classes United where we like to pull truth from humor😊
Late one night a burglar broke into a house and while he was sneaking around he heard a voice say, "Jesús is watching you."

He looked around and saw nothing. He kept on creeping and again heard, "Jesús is watching you."

Over in a dark corner, he saw a cage with a parrot inside. The burglar asked the parrot, "Was it you who said Jesús is watching me" The parrot replied, "Yes."

Relieved, the burglar asked, "What is your name?" The parrot said, "Clarence." The burglar said, "That's a stupid name for a parrot. What idiot named you Clarence?" The parrot answered, "The same idiot that named the rottweiler Jesús."
​
What if we were to live like we believed Jesus is watching us? Would we choose differently, love more, argue less, give more, spend less?

When He comes back
Will you be singing?
Will you be leading?
Or will you turn your back
Running far away
Until you reach the break of day
And as you slow to a walk
And your heart begins to turn to salt
Then will you be swayed
To change your ways
In hopes of being saved?
 
Too little too late
Your bed has been made
And on this earth
You will become one with the dirt
Living in pain
As a woman who gives birth
 
And this is just the beginning
Of the inevitable ending
Of our human nature
As we embark to something greater
The day is near
When we will meet our Maker
Our Lord
Our Savior
He will be revealed to us
As He descends from above
Will you be marked by His love?
Or will your earthly grave already be dug
 
Listen and head to the heat of the sun
As the days grow longer
And we begin to loiter
Our time becomes shorter
How will you protect your borders
The borders of your heart
On constant guard
 
Sing a new song
Share your story
Yes, every part
The messy and the hard
And know that in the end
It is Him
Who is ultimately in charge
With an army of angels
Both near and far
Our bright morning star
 
He is coming soon
Will you be ready?
Will you, do you share the good news?
 
Now is the time to pray
“But you,
When you pray
go into your inner room
Close your door and pray
to your Father who is in secret
And your Father who sees what is done in secret
Will reward you” -Matthew 6:6

What would life look like if we worked for an audience of one? Welcome to Faith-filled Friday with Trench Classes United and Debra Dolce.
 
~Love Letter~
My dear one, be devoted to fulfill the work I have given you to do with excellence, and your joy will be in doing what's right and being yourself, and not in being affirmed by others.
 
Look to Me, look to Me for everything you need, spiritually, physically and emotionally ALL comes from Me. Since I created you I am the sustainer, I am the one you are seeking to fill the void. Humans cannot give to you what only comes from Me.
 
Come and spend time with Me. Lay all your desires before Me. Ask wisdom to show you the areas that you're looking to others to fulfill you, so you can let that go and step into the freedom I alone offer to you.
 
With your dependency on Me, nothing can hinder or distract you. Focus on what I have for you. Be tenacious and single-minded with what I have called you to do. Spread My love like wildflowers everywhere you go. Let My fragrance be left as you come and go and minds and hearts will be turned to Me. Beloved, I alone am worthy of all your praise and of all your worship.

Welcome to Thursday’s Truthful humor with Trench Classes United where we love to laugh and pull truth from humor!
 
A police officer attempts to stop a car for speeding and the guy gradually increases his speed until he's topping 100 mph! The man eventually realizes he can't escape and finally pulls over.

The cop approaches the car and says, "It's been a long day and my shift is almost over, so if you can give me a good excuse for your behavior, I'll let you go."

The guy thinks for a few seconds and then says, "My wife ran away with a cop about a week ago. I thought you might be that officer trying to give her back!"

Oh, friends, Isn’t it so true that relationships have become so…well, so disposable? We unfriend on Fakebook, stop following on Instagram, Twitter, throw in the towel on friendships and marriages, but isn’t it so comforting to know that Jesus never wants to give us back, to throw us away or discard us, or even let us return to our old ways, but He continues to love us, refine us, guide us to be more like Him that we may love like He does.

Have you ever been watching an action-packed movie where the main character is in the midst of a horrendous death-defying adventure, hanging on with all their strength, trying their best to not let go. The gritting of the teeth, the grunts and groans, the pained expression of will power and sheer determination are captured by the camera and then suddenly, almost unexpectedly, like an assault to our senses, they let go and plunge to…
 
Welcome to Wednesday’s Word with Trench Classes United and Kim-Evinda.
 
There are circumstances in life that have us doing just that, holding on with all our might, sheer strength powered by determination and a belief that if only…but there comes a point where we must surrender our will, let go and let ourselves fall into the love and protection of our Father.
 
It is in that letting go that we discover that we don’t have to give up hope, but letting go is letting God. We don’t have to help in the matter; we just need to let go of the matter that has us in such a fight or flight plan of action.
 
If you’re anything like me, especially when I’m hurting emotionally, the propensity to say, “Yeah, but what if I do this, or say that, or say this” is so great sometimes that I lose sight of the freedom of falling into His love, His grace, His plan for my life.
 
That’s what this type of letting go is like: free-falling and landing on the foundation of love and grace ever so gently while experiencing healing for the hurt that found me grappling for control in the first place.
 
And when the temptation comes to grab ahold of whatever it is we’re supposed to let go of, may we allow ourselves to fall once again into the presence, protection and provision of Him whose plans are to lift us up, to prosper us, give us a future, and a hope.
Letting go…
 
Kim-Evinda
