The Weight

Sometimes it seems like it will never leave.
The weight.

When the pain seems more present than Jesus,
When it feels as if you have been running miles with no rest,
When things appear to have no light at the end of the tunnel,
When you are so close to giving up that you don't even know if you have a choice anymore,
When the weight of everything is on you and you know you're not strong enough,

This is for you.

Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, "See how He loved him!" John 11:33-35 nkjv

What you are going through, Jesus feels it with you. He has not forgotten you. He hears you, and He knows you. Do not for one second believe that He has abandoned you. The devil tries to whisper lies about how He loves us and tells us that He doesn't care like He says He does. Put those thoughts away in the name of JESUS. You are going to experience LIGHT, and I want you to believe that with me right now.

Take time right now to see your situation. See it for what it's worth.

Now I want you to see it differently.

See the situation with a light shining down on it. FEEL the feeling you will feel when everything is better. Know that feeling. Keep feeling it. See the situation with a beautiful resolution. Feel the joyous feeling of the resolution. Say Thank You Jesus.
This is faith. This is belief. This is knowing.

And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace." 
Luke 8:48

Go in peace. Your faith has made you well.

Your situation, your family, your health, your mind, your life, your world, is well.

It is well.

Now that you know this, there is one thing left for you to do.

Let go. Matthew 11:28

Be well. Ephesians 4:23, Romans 12:1-2

It's all going to be okay. Romans 8:28

Just breathe. Psalm 46:10

Peace is yours in Jesus name. John 14:27

Nothing is impossible with God. Mark 10:27

Nothing is impossible for those who believe. Hebrews 11:6

And we know that belief is feeling and knowing even when the physical world doesn't show the resolution yet. 

Let go of the weight. It's on Jesus now, and He will carry it and make things well again. Don't stop believing.

Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 nkjv

Things will be well again. In Jesus name, Amen.

Special Thanks To The Ones I Love

There is nothing I want more than to love and be loved by the most important people in my life. The ones who have stayed with me through thick in thin. My "homies." My "mains." I truly have some of the most incredible people surrounding me and pushing me forward... there is no way I would be where I am today without them.
Special thanks to my parents, grandparents, sisters, Kirsten, Karissa, and Eric, the love of my life.
I don't deserve you. I have had my share of times where you deserved better, but thank you. Thank you for never leaving me, because the woman you see above wouldn't be half of what she is without you.
You have kept me going. You have cheered me on.
I owe you my life.

To Eric for accepting me in full more than anyone I have ever known. You are the one I have found that my heart loves.

There are so many more amazing people who have come into my life that are also worth mentioning. Jaedyn, Courtney, Luisa, Skye, Nikki. I have either never seen you in person, or I have only seen you a number of times. Nevertheless, the internet and modern technology have provided us a way to know each other and for that I am truly grateful. I call you all my best friends.

These people may never read this but I just wanted to say thank you for everything. I would not be Kristin without you.

And thanks to Jesus. Literally without Him I would be nothing.

2 0 1 7 - Prosperity

As days, weeks, months have gone by I have found myself in a place of gratitude and overwhelming ambition to take on the coming times as if they were handed to me in person by the Creator of the universe Himself. It's while writing these words that I see that He, in fact, actually has. He has handed me each day wrapped in love and filled with the wind of His breath, spoken into existence. On purpose. For a reason.
No matter how many days go by that I wonder the purpose of the "pointless" minutes spent doing absolutely nothing, I know there is a reason and no space is wasted.
The universe is still moving forward. I must not try to linger in fear because of the unknown. Everything is awakening as time goes on. I mustn't wait.

What I am trying to say is that I have so much passion stored up inside of me with flames, yet I have hardly done anything with it. This year, I vow to propel my visions and passions forward with as much willpower as I can possibly muster up. Saying this, fear tempts me because of what could happen when I start to put my whole soul into things. The projects that I put forth will have much effect on me and those around me and I must say... I tend to be afraid. But I shall have boldness; the boldness of many lions. I will not fear of what is to come.

The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1

She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. Proverbs 31:25
