One of the Webster’s Dictionary definitions for complacency is relaxed unconcern!
Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Friday with Debra Dolce and Trench Classes
United. Today’s love letter is a great reminder that contentment in the wrong things
pulls us backwards, never forward.

~Love Letter~

My love, as My obedient child, never again shape your life by the desires that you
followed when you didn't know better.
This is a Word that I share with you often. With the busyness of life, it's easy to let
your guard down and to fall in line with what everyone else is doing.

Be diligent to protect your heart from complacency. When you get really comfortable
with life, you begin to slip backwards. Nobody slips forward, it's just not done. Every
step forward you take must be very intentional. Scripture says the steps of a
righteous man are ordered by Me, but you have to choose to walk in those steps.

How do you handle the things life throws at you? Some can be difficult, but I am right
here with you. Do you turn to Me? Do you seek comfort in My Presence, in My
Word? When I say I'll never leave you or forsake you, that means through
everything.

Beloved, when the weight of the world feels like it's crushing you, remember I
created the world, and I can remove that heaviness and uplift you out of the
complacency the world offers

Thanks for joining us today for Thursday’s Trench Truth. Let me ask you
this question:

Do you get nervous when things are calm, waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to
speak or…do you experience consistent healthy connection and contentment?
We live in a world of distractions, and many of us have become comfortable in
chaos, which interferes with participating in relationships the right way.

Join us to learn how to leave distractions behind and concentrate o the things or the
people that matter with our How to Love Who You Love Trench Class coming in
January.

Truthfully,
Kim-Evinda

She still shuddered in disbelief mixed with sorrow at the memories of the
beginning of the end as she read through some of her old blogs.

Thanks for joining us for the final Wednesday’s Word for this year with
Kim-Evinda and Trench Classes United. Our hope is that her blog will
help shed some light on whatever is going on or will go on that threatens
to send you to a dark place as we begin a New Year.

Her own words took her back to this time when they were still together,
and they were reading the Bible together. She would read the devotional
and she would read the scriptures. This particular Advent devotion was
about the word love…such a deep subject but it began correctly: love is
not “dutiful,” but voluntary, and God, who sent His Son voluntarily to
save each one of us was the ultimate example of love.

The verses continued to confirm what she already knew, and yet, there’s
no such thing as being able to grasp and hold this kind of love for it is
uncontainable. She remembered shedding tears as she realized that
every verse they had read together just reinforced and continued to
illuminate a new level of love of God, from God and about God.

She remembered the revelation she experienced in that moment: that
the kind of love that God wanted her to express to her covenant partner
was the kind that could only come from God, an unconditional love that
forgave and moved forward.

She shook her head back to the present, another revelation igniting
spars in the dark crevices of her hurting soul: she had passed the test
and though she didn’t get what she thought she was going to, a healed
marriage, no one could ever take those three years of unconditional
loving away from her.

Yes, greater is He that is in her than he that is in the world.
Friend, can I encourage you that when we partner with God, we will
never be alone, no matter what we go through.
​
Love,
Kim-Evinda

​​Tuesday Trench Truth

Thanks for joining us for Tuesday’s Trench Truth.
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?
You know, years ago, God caused me to run into myself, figuratively speaking, of
course, and it was in those times of sitting by myself, but with Him, that the layers of
unhealthy attitudes, thoughts and actions were peeled back, revealed, and dealt
with. I no longer fear being alone, and am very comfortable in my own skin, which is
huge considering all that I’ve been through.

I’d love to help you do the same by helping you connect your past to your present for
a better future in our How to Love Who You Love trench coming in January to
Redlands and on Zoom!

​Living here in this space
Between
The dawn of creation
and eternal damnation

What does that mean?

Am I here to just fill space and time?
Or am i here to live this life with all my heart, soul, and mind?

The latter is my answer
But the former whispers
It doesn’t get any better

So I write this letter
To myself when i need help
A reminder of why i am here
and why i am called to live a life with no fear

Dear daughter,
You are loved
More than that you are tough
This life is rough
With words that become thoughts
And thoughts that 12-27 become beliefs
That tend to hide in the darkness beneath

But here you are
A work of art
His masterpiece

So who are you to believe
That you aren’t enough
Or that you’re too much
So sick of life
So frustrated that you are stuck in this rut
This never ending cycle
That seems to pull you in
Until you feel you can no longer swim

But darling, remember this:

You are not here to swim
You are here to live
To walk on water
Holding the hand of the Potter

You are His clay
And day by day
You feel the cracks begin to break
But how many cracks will it take
Until you finally shatter
And all you hear is endless chatter
Telling you that you no longer matter

But darling, you do

You weren’t born to take this form
Merely to weep and mourn
We grieve because we know there is more

and daughter if you can just hold on a little bit longer
Take that rope
That rope called hope
And hold on tight
Leave that empty baggage behind

For you are a new creation
And you have a new mind

Now is your time
Rise

Rise into this life
Because you only get to go around one time

Stay in the fight
Walk with might
and be the light
that breaks through the darkness
and cracks stone made hearts
That believe they are Fatherless

Because you just might be the one
That saves another soul

and soon enough we'll meet again
When we are finally clothed
In our eternal home

“For we know that if the tent which is our earthly home is destroyed (dissolved),
we have from God a building, a house not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens. Here indeed, in this [present abode, body], we sigh and groan
inwardly, because we yearn to be clothed over [we yearn to put on our
celestial body like a garment, to be fitted out] with our heavenly dwelling,”
- 2 Corinthians 5:1-2

It’s two days before the most celebrated holiday…are you stressed or
blessed?
​
Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Friday with Debra Dolce and Trench
Classes United. Today’s Love Letter is a great reminder that the gifts of
love and compassion are free to us and free to give.

~Love Letter~
My chosen one, come to Me! Come to Me and let Me quench your thirst! Believe in Me
so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost
being, just like the Scripture says. When you are thirsty and come to Me to drink then
you will be filled with living water. It is My living water that will flow from within you and
touch the hearts of men and women around you.
Pray to be effective where I have placed you. As you spend time with Me and in My
Word, you are equipped with everything you need to minister effectively.
Remember it's not your abilities that change the hearts of people, but it's My Spirit. I can
use your love and compassion to soften the hearts of the hardened. Remember
Scripture says when you found Me thirsty, you gave Me a drink. When I was poorly
clothed you clothed Me and when I was in prison and you visited Me. You see, when
you do things for others you do them for Me.
Beloved, you have no idea how love and compassion touch the hearts of those around
you. 

~Debra Dolce

Do you often feel misunderstood and/or experience unmet expectations in your
relationships that lead to disappointment or…are you able to speak up and let others
know they hurt/disappointed you without an attitude?

I don’t know about you, but one of my pet peeves is to “feel” misunderstood. I have
learned that part of feeling this way is because of unreasonable expectations, and more
often than not, not intentional.

We’d love to give you the tools to understand others which will go a long way in being
understood and create reasonable expectations with those you love, and even those
you don’t.

Plan on joining us for How to Love Who You Love coming January 19 th , to Redlands.

What do you do when you just can’t figure out what to buy for that family
member, friend, coworker or special someone?
Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Kim-Evinda and Trench
Classes United. Today’s blog gives us words from the heart that keep on
giving all year long.

The Gifts of the Season ©
It’s not about the presents under the Christmas tree
But the presence of love we feel from friends and family
It’s not about the shopping that we feel we must do
But about the gift that’s already been given to me and to you
The gift is a gift that money can’t buy
The birth and death of Christ; it is for you and I
It’s not about making a list and checking it twice
And buying countless gifts for the naughty or nice
The reason for this season isn’t about all the debt and stress
But a time to offer special gifts such as patience and forgiveness
Or maybe a gift of time for one whose time here is running out
A meal for a family in need to encourage hope where there is doubt
Or maybe someone needs a helping hand to accomplish a tedious chore
Or a neighbor needs some company so they are not so lonely anymore
Oh, if we would take the materialism out of this season
And in its place remember that redemption is our reason
Yes, these kinds of gifts come freely to those walking in His Spirit
For they will outlive materialism, though the world doesn’t hear it
No matter what this year has brought
We can still give the gifts that cannot be bought
​
May love, joy, peace and patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control too
Be the gifts you give away freely and part of all that you endeavor to do into the New
Year.
Love,
Kim-Evinda

​Have you ever been ignored when you walk into a room?
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes
United. Today’s message is a great reminder that though we can’t see Him, He is
always there; we are not alone. We only need acknowledge Him and He will meet us in
our need.

You are always there
The wind blowing the air
Reminding me that you care
The moon in the sky
That never ceases to hide
The stars that shine
No matter the day
No matter the time
You are all around
And You are radiating pure light
and when I start to question
All of life’s demands and stresses
You remind me why
Because Your Son came and died
And by the blood that poured from the holes in His hands
And the crown that pierced through all hearts of man
Here I stand
A sinner born again
By the grace of Your plan
Here I am
Fully indebted to You
Your warrior
Your soldier
Your earthly molder
and by the same Spirit that raised you from the dead
I live (Romans 8:11)
Never the same
Ever again
Through the hardships
I plant
My feet firm on the ground
As I fight against every principality
That attempts to persuade me and surround
The darkness cannot bound
Because of the life You so generously gifted
My heart and my soul have shifted
To a place where I can feel every weight
And still believe that all is well
Because You hold my fate
A Father’s Love
Beyond the stars
Running deep
And stretching far
I breathe it in
As I sigh and pray
Simply giving thanks
To my Father, Yahweh

“Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjusting guilty of wrong) for
those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the
flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life [which is]
in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and
death. For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened
by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own
Son is the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for our sin, [God] condemned
sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept
​that sacrifice],” - Romans 8:1-3
