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

Have you ever head someone say, “Oh, I can’t wait for heaven”? 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

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!

I love when someone is so willing to share their heart, and especially when that heart is so in tune with God’s! Thanks for joining us for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Abby, and Monday’s Message w Trench Classes United.

​Those burdens your carrying                              Look up to me
That weight you’re feeling                             my hand is reaching
Let it go; give it to Me                                                reaching towards you
                                                                                My love is for you
I have made you
I have created you                                                Let your worries become mine
and I will sustain you                                          and your troubles
                                                                                 they will be lifted                                              
You worry about the days ahead                       Ask and it will be given
But I have said                                                          


I will carry you                                                  Seek Me and listen
I will rescue you                                                to the words I speak
and I will sustain you                                        Feel the whispers I breathe
                                                                                of My love, freely given
Child of mine                                                             
Do not fret                                                        Child, I will make your doubts disappear
                                                                          I am always near
Your knees
They buckle
Your heart
It trembles

In the era of computers and social media, text messaging, tweeting and twittering, it’s so heartwarming to receive a letter in the mail….so while U.S. Postal mail is diminishing with the use of email, we know you’ll appreciate this love letter written thru Debra from the heart of God to you. I think it’s especially timely as we enter the “season.”
Thanks so much for stopping by for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Faith-Filled Friday with Trench Classes United.
 
My warrior, I will keep you in perfect peace as you trust in Me, all whose thoughts are fixed on Me!
 
Beloved, My desire is for you to walk in perfect peace, My peace that passes all understanding for it will guard your hearts and minds through Me. To stay in My peace you must believe that I Am, and that I Am a rewarder of those that diligently seek Me.
 
Look at the word diligent and think about the things you are diligent about. Do you work at getting to know Me, My ways, or My desires? Do you seek after Me? Do you seek after wisdom or understanding? Do you practice trusting Me?
 
I know that it is hard for you to let go of that control you think you have. Beloved, practice trusting that I will care for you, that I will answer your prayers and supply your needs, that I will give you wisdom, for if you put Me first I will add everything that is needed for life and happiness.
Love,
God
As written to and thru
Debra

What if the pursuit of happiness was actually found in the pursuit of contentment?
Tis the season to be going crazy and getting derailed from the gift of contentment so in this season, may you stretch towards contentment that is not found in buying and doing but in being…
Love,
Kim-Evinda

I just love scrolling thru our Facebook newsfeed and discovering posts of people learning something, or sharing an a-ha moment, a revelation that will take them far in the journey of life. That’s what today’s blog is, an a-ha moment from one of our friends, who is also one of our occasional bloggers.
Thanks for stopping by for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Wednesday’s Word with Trench Classes United. I just know you’re going to enjoy this one today.
"Even when things aren't good, God still is."
This made me think. If I don't ultimately believe and trust that God is ONLY GOOD, I won't be able to trust Him when things are hard. I've thought a lot about this recently in my personal faith struggle. Here's the thing…we put blame on God for everything that happens, and that's a sad and misleading habit.
For example, how often have you heard, "Well, that was God's will" in regards to something bad? You lose a loved one and you're told "God wanted him home" Forces of nature cause destruction and you hear "God was trying to teach them a lesson" It goes on and on.. I am sure you can come up with some of these so called 'faith' gems.
We cannot call God good and simultaneously blame Him when bad things happen. It doesn't work that way. No wonder we are confused. We also can't call things as His will when it only aligns with our own agenda.
Guess what? The devil rules this earth. He is the one to blame for ALL the chaos, evil, cruelty, despair, anxiety, death. The Bible says he is actively searching for who/what he can destroy. He deserves the finger pointing, not God.
So, where is God in all this? Beside me. He might not step in and change circumstances as I wish, but it doesn't change that He loves me and is walking through it with me.
For too long I bought into the twisted belief that trusting Him meant I'd have no problems. (This is a very common theme in church by the way) I need to feed my soul with things that show me His Heart. I have to build trust in His ultimate goodness or I'll always be unsure in difficult circumstances.

Monday’s Message ​

Oh don’t you just love a good poem? I can’t wait for you to meet our newest blogger, Abigail. Today she shares a poem that is along the lines of a love letter, just like Debra shares. I can’t wait for you to meet her so thanks for stopping by Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Monday’s Message with Trench Classes United. Enjoy.

By grace you have been saved
Your ransom has been paid
Dig deep
Be brave
Because, Darling, you have been made
With a soul to create
Given to you by the One
The One who created all living things
So be brave
Make a change
Your life will not remain the same
It is time to break free from the routine
The routine of trying to be what the world wishes to see
When all you need is found in seeking Me
For that longing to be
Is more than a dream
Your calling, My Dear
Is not something you should fear
Draw near
Near to Me
and you will see
exactly who I have created you to be

• XOXO

Your Creator
Thru the heart of
Abigail
