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!

While you wait; pray. When you don't know the answers; pray.
Whatever season you are in; pray. If you need a miracle; pray.
Don't say or believe there’s nothing you can do. It's time to pray and pray more. Watch God break open the heavens in blessings and love for you.
But it will all happen in HIS timing!
You may be in a season of wait, but God's word says; "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

I don’t “sit well”, and I never have. I like to clean, accomplish tasks, organize, go places, do things and be productive. As a matter of fact, my “fit bit” calls me an over achiever! (Big Smile!) Sitting still is a waste of time to me. What can I accomplish anyway, by doing nothing? When I’m still I can’t relax. My mind spins out of control with worry, analyzing life, stressing over my “to do list” and thinking about things I have no control over.

And that’s just it! I hate not having control. I want to plan life out perfectly. But in all my years of experiences, you’d think I’d know better by now. I mean, nothing ever works out perfectly anyway. I may find myself in the places, times and circumstances I really wanted; but consider the process it took to get there. It wasn’t always quick, fun, pretty or easy. But I got there. So, why do I plan and expect perfection? Well, because life hurts and I want to protect myself from the pain. And haven’t we all had enough of that? I know I have. People have hurt me, disappointments have bombarded me, frustrations have bogged me down, and I’ve hurt myself with choices I’ve made.

To make it worse, when I’m still, crazy feelings and turmoil deep from my soul, slowly rise up and want me to interact with them. They fight for my attention with anxiety and fear. Sometimes I get back up, start moving and begin working on my next task to avoid the uncomfortable feelings. But other times I’m so exhausted, frustrated and burned out; I have no choice but to face these monstrous feelings and thoughts head on and sit with them.

I’ve discovered that confronting my “inner craziness” on my own doesn’t work. Who am I to fight with deep rooted bitterness, pain, loss, anger, pride, negativity, or sin that I can’t overcome? I need strength and a power greater than myself. If I truly want to live for Christ and allow him first place in my life, I have to surrender myself to him, trust him, pray, read the word and speak the word of God over my life; understanding that control is just an illusion.

Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)  I have to ask myself, what have I been doing or trying to make happen on my own without trusting God? This causes worry and stress. This puts all the pressure and anxiety on me and places my faith in myself and not in God. The word also says, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7)  This alerts my spirit that I’ve been carrying burdens and fears I was never meant to carry. I don’t have to hold onto worry, I can cast it onto Jesus and he will care for me and give me peace and direction. And as for sin in my life; I’m sick of it. The consequences of trying to do life on my own and be in control aren’t worth fighting for. I want God’s will. Therefore, I will sit and be still. Face my problems head on and give them over to Jesus. He helps me, leads me on paths of righteousness and calms my soul with peace that surpasses all understanding. “he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.” (Psalm 23:3)

For today, I’m done trying to be in control and being a busy body to mask my pain. I choose to sit for awhile at the feet of Jesus; permit him to consume me with his love, listen for his voice and allow him to lead me in everlasting joy, while he sees me through my trials and pain.

We can’t be in control of life and all its circumstances. But we can choose to trust Jesus Christ with our lives and all he has for us. I’m thankful for such an amazing God and his love for me! I’m thankful for a peace and joy that is not an illusion; but a gift to be enjoyed now and forever. Amen!

The longer the Lord blesses me with life, the greater experience I gain and understand that troubles are always on the rise. Sometimes I feel like throwing up my hands, saying I quit and giving into my irritations. But this is when I'm learning that I need to press into Jesus even more, seek Him for the wisdom, hope, peace and strength I need for every day living. This is when I need to remind myself that God is always in control and He has a plan better and bigger than I can dream of or imagine for my life. This is when I need to stop moving, get still and seek the face of God with great expectation and much prayer. It's during the tough times that my faith grows stronger, and when I surrender  my heart more to the Lord, I gain a fresh perspective on how amazing is His love! It's so amazing! 
"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." (Ephesians 3:18)
