A Must Read: RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE

By Christina

imageI used to think that recovery wasn’t possible. When I messed up or had been through the worst of the worst, I always thought that it was OVER for me. We call that “rock bottom.”

Problem is–I hit rock bottom A LOT and practically daily to the point that my rock bottom became my addiction. It was a habit. A bondage. A stronghold over me. A grip so tight that it was tormenting. I had no control over my situation, so I thought! But that was and is never the case with God! He wants you to hit rock bottom  so that you can meet the Rock [Jesus] at that bottom!!! It’s never too late for you to bounce back. Continue reading

NO GPS

By Christina

Have you ever had to take off somewhere because of a necessary appointment or place to be and had an idea of where you were going but still had to continue with NO GPS?!?

Just keep going straight.

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It is an eerie and uncomfortable feeling to travel to a place and not have specific instructions or a guide. We always want specifics and that we could have. Yet sometimes in our journey with the Lord, the call to the place is the one thing that is clear and everything else in between [the detail] is just not really provided. Continue reading

THE DEVIL IS A BULLY

By Christina

Today I am taking a stand!
I am not going to stay quiet and allow the enemy to keep smacking people around.
I am going to speak up and make some NOISE louder than he could ever. So here goes nothing!

Presentation1The devil is a BULLY!
STOP ALLOWING HIM TO BULLY YOU AROUND ALL DAY, ALL WEEK, ALL MONTH, ALL YEAR…AFTER YEAR! ENOUGH!!!

TAKE A STAND!

Do you not realize that he is taking you as his toy and prey! A bully is a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people. He is making a HABIT of BADGERING you!

YOU ARE NOT WEAK! GOD SAYS THAT YOU NOT! Continue reading

Joy Inexpressible

By Christina

IMG_7301A happiness at my own expense is just not going to cut it. The happiness I must seek is one given to me by God. The joy inexpressible He speaks of that is found in God’s living word! I found it in Him. During those summer days by the ocean, as He carried me from a dark place into one of freedom, victory and new life.

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith–the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:6-9
