In the words of the Grinch, “I HATE CHRISTMAS!”  (Well….. I used to!)  I grew up in poverty and abuse, making my Christmas mornings full of disappointment, tears, fears, jealousy and emptiness in my heart. Later on, my teenage years carried feelings of guilt, loneliness, lack of money, and no true family intimacy to have a real, “Hallmark Christmas.”  After I created my own family, many of my Christmas’s were spent having to work, arguing with my husband, hating to visit extended family, and lacking true emotional stability in myself; making it impossible for me to enjoy life, let alone the busy, messy, chaotic, commercialized Christmas Season.

Christmas programs and movies portray the most wonderful, beautiful and magical Christmas scenes. They create a longing in our hearts to be loved, cherished and accepted; while manipulating us into believing everything can always be worked out at the end of Christmas day; and we can all be reunited as a family full of love. (I’m screaming inside thinking of all this craziness we believe, because we see it on T.V.)

Christmas time is SUPPOSED to be full of love, peace, joy, happiness, fancy gifts, family fun, special relationships and friends; right? Who made up these expectations? I became so tired of the defeat from never having a perfect Christmas; that a few years ago, I wanted nothing to do with Christmas except to put a large blow up Grinch in my front yard. (In which my husband wouldn’t allow.) Not to mention, I couldn’t bring myself to skip Christmas either. So, I had to do something. I had to change my thinking, my expectations, and the way I believed Christmas was “supposed” to be. I shifted my thinking away from the worlds, and put my focus on God’s ways. The bible declares, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9) ……
I’ve determined the most enjoyable way to celebrate Christmas, is to simply do it in love!

First of all, “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. God sent his son in the form of a baby to be the ultimate sacrifice for the world. This precious gift who came to save the world is to be cherished, remembered and honored with our whole hearts; not our traditions and wallets.

Second of all, “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” (1 Corinthians 4-7)
Let us live out each day, at all times, walking in love.
God’s love is BETTER than any made up movie or “Hallmark card!”

And third of all, “Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:8) We must love others by forgiving them, and also choosing to not take offense at everything. Allow people room to be themselves, while accepting them with open arms, an open heart, and displaying the love of Christ.
We are created to love, not judge.

I am forever thankful I have Jesus Christ in my life and He’s been alongside me, helping me, healing me, giving me hope, wisdom, and perspective; encouraging me, and enabling me to be a woman who knows who I am in HIM. Because of Jesus I am not a woman who believes the ugliness the world said about me; and always angry because of what was done to me. The more I accept and live in God’s love, the better I am able to love others.

The truth is simply this; This Christmas Season still isn’t perfect for me;
​but what is perfect is God’s love for me. And that’s more than enough!

“Joy is not under the tree; Joy is not in the lights;
Joy is not in the food; Joy is not in the sights;
Joy is from the Holy Spirit, Who’s with us for the rest of time!
​ Joy is from the Holy Spirit, oh how I love and celebrate this assurance of mine!” Amen!

W A R N I N G……  This article will open your eyes to the reality of how the enemy is working hard to deceive you! Proceed with a heart ready to be changed by God’s non-condemning and unconditional love.  “For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:19)

We are so busy all the time, chasing success, wanting more, and constantly allowing society to dictate our lives; while refusing to embrace and live in the wisdom and security of Christ, which is so freely and beautifully gifted to us by a God who never fails us.

If only we would enjoy more simple things that deeply and genuinely satisfy us; such as taking a stroll outside on a beautiful day, star gazing on a clear night, hiking on a gorgeous mountain, or just stopping to enjoy a refreshing breath of air and thanking God for all our answered prayers.

I think we try too hard to substitute the beauty from our Creator; for the counterfeit exhibits of creation. We are wasting precious time focusing on the wrong things. We are looking for the perfect piece of furniture or art to fill our home, when we need to practice peace and patience with the people in our home. We are spending extra money on our kids, rather than spending more time with them. We slander and complain about our spouse, instead of working on our marriage. We waste money on things to fill empty spaces in our homes, but never admit the real empty place is in our souls.

We are caught up being entertained, instead of spending time with God to be enlightened. We like our lives just the way they are because we’ve become familiar and comfortable with all of it. We’ve learned ways to cope with stress, instead of learning ways to resolve it. We’ve conformed to the ways of the world, instead of being set apart as Christ has called us to do. And sometimes, we don't want to put things into perspective because it shows us that our "reality" isn't everything we've made it out to be.

Don’t get mad at me friends; I only know any of this from personal experience. This was my life. My needs and wants were measured by what everyone else around me had. My identity was tied up in what people said about me. I was never comfortable or accepting of my body, because I was always comparing myself to others. I wanted more because I never chose contentment. And now I’m here to tell you that God has set me free, and this same freedom can be yours too.

The plan of action is simple; but the first necessity has to be a willing heart. We must choose daily to put Jesus first, center and above all else.  “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:39)

Do you want to live free from the pressures the world puts on you, and carry a calming peace? Do you want your relationships, finances, priorities, families and choices to be lined up with the will of God? And would you like to put your head on your pillow each night with a clear conscience, a new passion for life, and more love for others? If you’ve answered “yes”, pray this with me right now!

“Jesus, help me to want to change and to be set apart from the things of this world. I need a renewing of my mind that includes your wisdom, word, knowledge and direction. Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Your revelation is a sweet outpouring of enlightenment to my soul. I want you more than I want things. I want you more than I even realize at this moment. I need more of you and less of me. Jesus, only you truly and completely satisfy me. You are a fresh breath of air, a cool drink of water, and a healing balm to my wounds. You are my peace in the chaos, relief in my despair, and you are my strength in my weakness. From this day forward, I choose to seek you first. Open my eyes, heart, ears, soul and spirit to you and your truth. Do a miraculous work in me and through me. I understand this isn’t all instantaneous change; but a lifetime process of sanctification. I want nothing more than to walk out this journey with you. Jesus, take the lead as I recognize my need for you to be my everything. I surrender all, I am yours and I dedicate my life to you." Amen!

"Dear Friends, After 17 amazing years in Virginia, we are on reassignment to live in Colorado Springs, CO. After praying for 9 months about this decision and watching God open doors miraculously, there is no doubt we are called and moving to Colorado with HIS purpose and plan already laid out before us!

We had the opportunity to visit Colorado Springs a few months ago; and we left part of our hearts there. It's such a beautiful, inspiring and optimal place to live with a passion for God and people. 
It's our mission to live out each day walking in the love, with the heart and compassion of Christ Jesus; doing all we are enabled to do; helping others and sharing the Gospel of Jesus!

Any donation you leave us here will help move us across the Country, paying for the Moving Truck Rental, towing a vehicle, gas, food, lodging, expenses to travel with our four furry pups; and our 19 year old daughter too! 

I believe that we are all vessels that God uses to work through; sharing our resources to help others. Understanding that, not every person is called to support everyone. We would be greatly honored if you would choose to help us journey in this adventure, by supporting us financially to help offset some of the burdens from moving expenses. 

If you are unable to do that, we COMPLETELY understand. Will you please support us with prayer; and sharing this campaign?!
​
As we plan to venture to Colorado Springs in approximately 7 weeks, I will log our journey with you on my social media accounts! Thank you with all my heart!!
Brooke Lynn and Family!

You have to stand up for what you believe in. You have to fight for what you want in life. You are not called to remain passive and you are not made to give up. You have the power of the living God inside of you. Be a person of prayer, a person of worship, and a person of God’s word.
Live your life daily submitting to God, His will, plan and purpose for you.
There will always be battles; but God does not leave us alone or unarmed. Fight and stand strong, God has your back.
"Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6: 11-12 NIV)  Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5 NIV)

​​Truth be told, life never moves any faster than one day at a time. It just can’t. And while we want everything to happen over-night, God doesn’t work for Fed Ex! In fact, God’s timing is completely different than our timing. God is in the past, present and future all at the same time; he is Omnipresent! He knows what will work best and when. He works on our behalf to give us the best life opportunities and this takes time. Just like a baby born too soon can be pre-mature and unhealthy; so can the same be true for God granting us our life long dreams or releasing certain blessings into our hands. Watch "How to Get to the Other Side of THIS" and be ready to receive what you're waiting for! Amen!

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
(Hebrews 11:1)

"And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him."
(Hebrews 11:6)

I’m believing for a move of God in faith, making decisions in faith, living one day at a time and trusting God in faith; but today I’m questioning everything. “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)  I’m wondering if I really heard from God in the first place. I mean, it felt so real and He gave me the signs I asked for by His divine and miraculous intervention. He gives me strength, peace, hope and supplies all my needs. So, you may be wondering what exactly my problem is? Allow me to share THEM with you. My problem is patience. My problem is waiting. My problem is not knowing 100 %, for sure, that God is going to do what He has told me. Oh, and my problem is that sometimes I think I’m just a little crazy and not really hearing from God.

This is what I know for sure; I must work through this season to get from one side to the other, or…… I’m going to die in this wilderness of waiting. There is too much hope inside me envisioning a successful, fruitful and amazing future that’s keeping me from giving up or stopping me from pursuing my dreams. I must push forward and make it to my promised land. But the agony of the wait is so draining.

Can you relate to any of this? Have you waited or been waiting for something in your own life or in someone else’s life to happen that you’ve had little or no control over? Have you ever heard from God but then questioned if that was really Him or your own imagination? Have you lived one day at a time going through the motions that were once fun and fulfilling; but now feels draining and makes you want to run away screaming for relief? Then yes…………….. You do understand!

Truth be told, life never moves any faster than one day at a time. It just can’t. And while we want everything to happen over-night, God doesn’t work for Fed Ex! In fact, God’s timing is completely different than our timing. God is in the past, present and future all at the same time; he is Omnipresent! He knows what will work best and when. He works on our behalf to give us the best life opportunities and this takes time. Just like a baby born too soon can be pre-mature and unhealthy; so can the same be true for God granting us our life long dreams or releasing certain blessings into our hands.

We must be ready to receive what we’re waiting for. This includes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual readiness. If we can’t diligently manage the next level God is preparing us for; we could harm ourselves, harm others, hinder our own success or create a big mess. But since God loves us too much to give us something we aren’t ready for yet, we wait. There’s are so many reasons we may be waiting; but the best response we can offer to God while He works our life out for good is this; trust Him in the wait!

The best advice I can give you while you wait is this: Never give up. Keep praying, keep pressing into Jesus and keep your eyes fixed upon the Lord at all times. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. He is deceitful and will do whatever he can to make you quit or become distracted. “The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” (John 10:10)

And while you may lose focus and hope at times; while you may lose your mind at times; pick yourself up as soon as possible and keep on keeping on because you must fight the good fight of faith. “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” (1 Timothy 6:12)
​
You will get to the other side, one day at a time with God’s supernatural hand upon you, leading you and guiding you into all truth. You are almost there! It will be on the other side of THIS that you can look back and find the good in the wait. Find God in the wait. See the Lord’s faithfulness in the wait. And hopefully you will say with certainty in your heart; it was worth the wait!
Amen!
