Monday’s Message Turning your day around But you’ve been drifting off to sea
When life has flipped upside down drowning in a mind filled with unease Is much harder than it seems with thoughts that this life is not working But that heart of yours is stronger than you think exactly how you were hoping The knots you’re feeling Just wait and listen The heart aching Drown out the noise Gut wrenching The thoughts of negativity Twisting and reeling depression, and sorrow stained dreams It’s reeling you in This life is all that we are given, worth much more to feel like a failure than to be driven by self-doubt and fear leaving you wondering When you realize your time is so very near where in the world is my Savior… Happiness will replace those tears “Right here”, he whispers Remember this, and never forget: Everything you are doing is right Keep praying with all of your might Look to the Light Your future, darling, is more than bright

Faith-Filled Friday ~Love Letter~
Good morning, My love. I am the world's Light. No one who follows Me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in. As you come and spend time with Me and in My Word, you become enlightened - thus new light. As you spend time with Me you develop new eyes, eyes that see and understand. Your provision is Me, for everything you need is wrapped up in Me. Beloved, because I love, I gave and I give as an example to you. Where are you today? What do you need today? What does My Light need to shine on for you? Look at your struggle in My Light and tell Me, does it melt away? In My Light the importance of things fade away; they actually move out of My place of priority and now you can see clearly. When I am your priority, beloved, the whole world changes, for I know the end from the beginning and I know the plans I have for you, plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope. My love, I am your world changer. Thursday’s Truth Are you having a hard time knowing what to buy someone special? I don’t know about you, but I’m totally over buying more “stuff” in the name of “Christmas.” Maybe it’s time to take a Christmas challenge and give gifts that money can’t buy.
What might that look like? I think the true gifts of Christmas are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, grace all wrapped up with the bow of self-control. I don’t believe in posting good deeds on social media, lest they be mistaken for boasting, so I’ll challenge myself this week and share my Christmas challenge with you next week that will be one of the gifts money can’t buy! Stay tuned! Kim-Evinda Wednesdays’ Word In the midst of what is meant to be a season of giving of gifts, what would it look like if we took the materialism out of it and got creative with our gift-giving? After all, the most generous, creative gift ever given was that from The Father, His only Son, that we would be able to dwell with Him in what is to be the most beautiful dwelling place that we can’t even begin to fathom: heaven!
May this poem inspire you to be creative in your gift-giving this season. On the 1st day of Christmas, my neighbor gave to me A homemade ornament to put on my tree On the 2nd day of Christmas, a stranger said to me Tis the season to be generous after buying my coffee On the 3rd day of Christmas a friend reached out to me In the midst of my loneliness and took me to a movie On the 4th day of Christmas, a surprise came to me I opened up the door to a stocking filled with goodies On the 5th day of Christmas, a long-lost relative Facebooked me With a real apology By the 6th day of Christmas I was starting to recognize That God was using others to open up my eyes So…… On the 7th day of Christmas my neighbor got from me A homemade thank you for the ornament now on my tree On the 8th day of Christmas, I turned to a stranger behind me And said, Tis the season to be generous, let me buy your coffee On the 9th day of Christmas, I called the friend who had reached out to me And invited to pick them up for dinner and a movie On the 10th day of Christmas, I stretched outside of me And went to a stranger’s door and dropped off a bag of goodies On the 11th day of Christmas I asked God to help me Reach out to an old friend with a humble apology By the 12th day of Christmas, I was able to see That God shows His love thru strangers, friends and family.

Monday’s Message Oh, my goodness, what an inspiration our Abby is! Today’s message was written from her hospital bed. See, Abby suffers from Crohn’s Disease, a horrible disease that attacks the body viciously but one thing it can’t do is take away the spirit, the heart!
Thanks for joining us for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Monday’s Message with Abby and Trench Classes United. I was so blown away, humbled by her generosity despite her adversity! I trust you will be too. He is my rock He quenches my thirst My fortress and heals my disease In all times of need my disease of becoming ungrateful unable to see how much in this life He has truly given me Food to eat Soak into me Songs to sing Your everlasting love His Word to drink The ultimate gift from above Oh Lord, You are my beloved Forgive me For being a human Your love Merely unable to see It never ceases for me How Your goodness & mercy flows into me Always chasing after me It heals me It seeks me I fall to Your feet Out to the world I promise to send it Forgive me; Always lend it I thirst for Your Word to those in need Quench me; In need of Your light Let your light flow into me In longing for Your love Lord, let your Spirit reach into me; Heal me; send me Love, Abby Faith-Filled Friday In the midst of this season, may we push the pause button to not only read these words, but to allow them to digest in our soul, be planted in our hearts and bloom in our lives.
Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Friday @ Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Trench Classes United. Get yourself something warm to drink and get comfy and cozy as you read this love letter from the heart of God thru Debra Good morning, My bride. Life is good for the one who is generous and charitable, conducting affairs with honesty and truth. In order for the world around you to see you're different, you must be different. See, you have been called to righteousness and that is in every area of your life. When dealing with your family, portray Me and treat them as I treat you. Love and respect your family, even if they are not treating you the best. Look at every situation with My eyes. Ask Me to show you what to do, what to say and what not to say. Set boundaries for I desire you to be loving but not abused. Look at situations in your work and dealing with others. Don't be afraid to show your real self for I am your God. You don't have to be on a soapbox to let My Light shine through you. Being kind, honest, generous and trustworthy stands out like a beacon in this dark age. Don't be the voice of reason; be My voice, the voice of the Living God. Beloved, declare My Word… God Thru… Debra Thursday’s Truth Tis the season to buy, buy, buy…perhaps it’s time to start thinking about the true gifts of Christmas. Spread a little joy today!

Or anything like it? My husband used to say this so much and it used to drive me crazy!
Thanks for joining us for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Wednesday’s Word with Trench Classes United. So why did it drive me crazy? I actually couldn’t put my finger on it, or at least express it in a way that didn’t drip with frustration. I used to tell him, “You’re living like you’re dying!” I realized that wasn’t very nice, so I have since stopped sounding so critical. 😊 The other day in my Bible study of the book of Philippians, written by Paul, the guy who wrote three-fourths of the New Testament. He wrote this first chapter most likely when he was imprisoned for sharing his faith. Talk about being eternally minded instead of fleshly focused! When reading thru this chapter, especially verses 21-26, you can literally feel the emotional and spiritual tug of war, and the way to actually visualize it is to come to I so related with his heart, so much so I was rendered in tears as I actually spoke verse 21 aloud: “For to me, to live is Christ, but to die is gain.” In verses 22-26, he was torn between dwelling with Christ and gathering more FOR Christ. Maybe it’s time we change our focus upward and outward that we would be eternally minded inward. Love, Kim-Evinda Tuesday’s Truth Since we are born with and in this fleshly tent, our innate tendency and propensity may not always be gratitude, but instead, we may flaunt a nasty attitude. Wouldn’t it be awesome to use some reverse psychology on our minds? What do I mean by that? Well, the other day, I had to drive allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way to Baldwin Park (about 75 miles away) for a deposition that I knew was only going to go 30 minutes, maybe an hour at the most. I caught myself complaining, and then began to trick myself by saying, I get to drive to Baldwin Park and while stuck in traffic, I’m going to study my memory verse flash cards.
You know what happened? He so blessed me with a request for an expedited transcript which meant that I would make almost twice the amount of money I would have made without it! God honors gratitude and frowns on a negative attitude! Join our Facebook community at www.facebook.com/Trenchclassesunited for more encouragement for the journey Love, Kim-Evinda |
