Multitude of Words

By Christina

When you want to say so much but you can’t!

“In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.”
Proverbs 10:19

“A fool vents all his feelings,
But a wise man holds them back.”
Proverbs 29:11

So many times where I think I could have said this, I should have said this.  Maybe I shouldn’t of said this or too much of that. Then my mind just never really knows much but the anguish it is causing to itself.

The only words I could find that would help me through the soulish realm in the nights and days of turmoil thought processing is this—WORSHIP!

Thank you Jesus.

Love you Jesus.

You are here with me now Jesus.

You never leave me nor forsake me Jesus.

Words of wisdom. Sometimes we just got to stay quiet inside and out. It’s so hard to hold back the thoughts, to sit on them or swallow them. Who can I think of that probably thought too much but the psalmist David.

Psalm 6:3
My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord—how long?

Psalm 11:1
In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

Psalm 13:2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Psalm 16:2
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”

Psalm 16:10
For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

Psalm 23:3
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

Psalm 25:1
[ A Plea for Deliverance and Forgiveness ] [ A Psalm of David. ]
To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Psalm 25:20
Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.

Psalm 30:3
O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

I think he knew about that soulish realm that we should not allow to reign or have dominion.  This is the part that wants to govern our every move but it cannot.  We must be led by the spirit! That is why he kept praying on it.  He prayed every time he reached that point.  And those were just a few–for in the search for the soul in the content, the Psalms had many others.

Relatable truth! For there is nothing that could bring us the quick deliverance like the multitude of words that are available through the scriptures.

They are life.

Much more than we could ever say.

Cassiandra

By Christina

Maybe I didn’t know what to do.
Maybe I didn’t know where to go.
Maybe I was too young and unmarried.
Maybe I didn’t complete my education.
Maybe the goals I set didn’t really pan out.

But one thing I know, is that when you were born you changed my world. I stared at you so much as love flooded my heart. You were so beautiful just like you are even now.
I didn’t know anything but what I had experienced as a child and I only hoped I could make it right and do good.

But that didn’t happen did it.
I made mistakes. And not just like a little but MANY.
Some were HUGE mistakes and I needed God in my life to fix it!!!
Even then, I still found myself making mistakes and it frustrated me even more.

Then I remembered His grace. None of us are perfect, no not one. We need a Savior. Someone to stand in the gap for us. And He gladly took on that position and made us WHOLE.

I remember in 2000, I petitioned to God after dropping you off at the bus stop. I treated you HORRIBLY because we were running late, and it was so not your fault. What you don’t know is that I came back home, crashed to the floor and cried profusely, deeply as my soul was in anguish. The same way it is now when I STILL make mistakes. And I am so sorry for all of that. Any hurt, frustration, disappointment or the like that I cause from being so imperfect.

Why can’t I be that perfect parent God—

He said, “BECAUSE YOU CANT BE ME! I am the perfect Parent.”

“They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭14:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So I will love you with a flawed love but God will love us with a perfect love. I can’t ever promise you that I will be perfect, but I can promise you this… I will always seek Him for US knowing He will make all things new and all things right.

So in 2000 I sought Him for that guidance and it truly helped me tremendously for what I did daily changed to the most minimal incidents of ill behavior. I thank God for His Spirit and that He took it all away. May the presence of God pull you in that same place He took me then in 2000… and to where He takes me now.

All things work together and I know that is with ardent prayer. There can be no other way. So let’s pray.

May you always realize how much you impact my world which is why I hold your words and actions so powerfully because of the PLACE YOU HOLD in my heart and in my hands. That is why you were named that as a vessel to speak only life….  it means Prophetess.

I love you Cassiandra…..you will always be my baby girl.

All Of Me

By Christina

img_1165I have been doing a lot of reflecting this month with some extra days off that have been so refreshing for me. Much needed, after months of preparation and planning for major end year events at church. All is good though. It has been worth it all.

I remember the prophet Joseph Samuel speaking over my life, “You are going to be so busy for the kingdom of God!” And yet none of those words have fallen to the ground.
All true.
All worthy.
All right with me. Continue reading

Set Free

By Christina

imageMore and more I have decided that I can make the best choices. I can see things as they are and I can share how much this scripture is revealed to me in such an impactful way.

The TRUTH shall set you free!

So what I thought has passed and that will all fade away,  I know that the only thing that ever moved me was LOVE. If that is not present for all in my life then I will know this truth and live SET FREE from it!

Instead of creating “beyond reality” in my mind, this walk was never based on a fairytale. Only truth.

I am weighing the words now so I see clearly despite what I feel, that there is still TRUTH! Continue reading
