Unseared

By Christina

imageGreat start or tough beginning?
Smooth sailing or rocky roads?
Easy journey or crazy obstacles?

As you continue to pass through it all, you will go unseared. As you walk with the Lord your God, no evil shall befall you. No plague shall come near you. No serpent shall poison you [Psalm 91]. Through any fire, you will not be burned. Just like the three Hebrew young men in the book of Daniel, so shall you be if you stay trusting God.

Stand on His Word. Stand on the precious promises. For daily as you continue to be fierce in your walk, there will be those moments that such will come against you. But be of good courage and be of good cheer, because you shall overcome any obstacle that you face. God is on your side.  Continue reading

When The Scale Doesn’t Budge

By Christina

imageDon’t you really dislike those moments when you set a goal and the process to get there is so lengthy. You set that target weight and week after week you get on the scale and it doesn’t even budge. You sacrifice the cookies, cupcakes and steak and still–the results remain the same.

That happens with us in life. Perhaps we see no results happening in our relationships. The bank account is still the same. Your place of work is still frustrating you and you find yourself sitting in the same exact place time after time or you find yourself quarreling over the same old stuff. When is it gonna give? When will it break? When will it budge?

You want it to move! You are making choices to make that happen…. and you see nothing. When the “scales of life” don’t budge–neither should you. Just stand in faith because eventually it will not only budge but it will blossom until you reach that overflow.

We just need the diligence and the patience to wait for it. Continue reading

Stepping Back Isn’t Staying Back

By Christina

imageSometimes you find yourself in places you know you left behind. 2015 was a tremendous year of transition, trials and triumph. Now we have set in place further goals as we begin the year of 2016. With that being said, when we have set these goals whether they are easily attainable or require hard work you may find some stepping back into the old.

Maybe it is disappointing, maybe it is trying you further, maybe it is not the progress you want to see happen rapidly but we must remember beyond the moment is the mandate. It is our eternal weight of glory that will make the difference.

For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 Continue reading

Our Morning View

By Christina

image
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
In the morning I will direct it to you, and I will look up.
Psalm 5:3

I love this new drive right in to work. I pass through a pleasant site to see. Makes me ponder on my perspective for 2016. I need that fresh view.

What is your take on life right now?
What is going on for you or around you?
How has this year started for you?
Are you excited about it or do you want it to be over already?

I think the beginning of anything is so important. It sets a strong tone for the rest of its existence. That certainly can be changed or enhanced. With this new year ahead of us, many are strongly seeking the improvement of things. Whether it is in relationships, a new job, working through finances, home, ministry or health–there is always room for improvement. Continue reading
