Snoozing Saints

By Christina

imageThe alarm goes off everyday. It is a new opportunity for us. We rise and we move to do what we have to each day. Most days—we want to sleep a little longer. Stay in our comfy zones, under the blanket…no rules and no regulations. We begin to hate the sound of the alarm. Our flesh begins to hate the work that we must do. It annoys our souls—but we have to work. Then we hit the snooze….sometimes once, twice, three times or for maybe even an hour strong.

To snooze is to sleep; slumber; doze or nap.

Many of us are sleeping on our callings and the true work that we have to do for the kingdom! Continue reading

Rebuilt Stone

By Christina

This is not just about Family, Friends Or Feelings…

Such a bigger purpose. Within my scope and above my scope, God’s got this!

I don’t let one incident define me.
I don’t let these raging “emoticons” of mine have dominion.
I am like that black butterfly… In the darkness, I am always seeking it’s solace through the light.

He caught it. Captured it.
In a simple explanation, there it was clearly depicted. Black stone over gray. A flawed ground that came to light. A stone butterfly was built.
An illuminating illustration of my story.
Unashamed, unfiltered and undeniable. Continue reading

Stay In The Line

By Christina

The result of the blessing being manifested when I choose to stay in the line! Continue reading

An Infinite Number

By Christina
imageThere is a serious case in the Bible where the disciples came to Jesus and asked Him, “How many times shall I forgive my brother?” And Jesus said to him, “Up to 70×7!” I translate this in so many ways but what I understand repeatedly is an infinite number.
“Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:21-22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
You see a lot of times are always asking God the same exact questions over and over again, especially when we don’t see results happening in our lives. So the same way the disciples came to Jesus and asked Him how many times, is the same way we actually go to God and ask Him the same thing too. This becomes an infinite type of situation.
