Trust

Here it is, 

The moment of truth. 

Split seconds, 

Quickly I must choose. 

Everything is moving so fast, 

tensions are getting high. 

But how do I navigate forward, 

the path that is best, 

is the path where,

I include the Most High. 

This isn't always done, 

in the best way. 

"For he knitted me" - Psalm 139:13

And knows, 

Oh does he know!...

What can cause me to stray. 

Yet the test is here, 

Right in front of my face. 

Do I slow down and Trust, 

Or do I keep haste. 

The enemy knows, 

what gets under your skin. 

In that moment, 

Will I choose to trust Him? (Jesus)

Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior!

I type these words with reverence,

focused on obtaining only,

his favor. 

Each day I move just a tiny bit slower, 

to ensure I my steps,

my choices,

are in the will of the Father. 

This isn't always easy, 

Let me remind you. 

We are all not perfect,

But we are brother's and Sisters from God.

Each day is focused on repenting,

and "confessing my sins" -1 John 1:19

in the pursuit of righteousness. 

So much to ponder, 

in that heated split second. 

I continue to involve God, Jesus and Holy Spirit.

In every move, 

In every step, 

and when I mess up, 

I lement my shortcomings and repent.

Hello Everyone!!! It is March...of 2026...I am still just shooketh about the speed of this year. I hope and pray that you all are doing well. Not only is the year moving so fast. The world is changing A LOT. 

Everyone is experiencing so much change, in their countries, in their families, change change everywhere. It get's to be so much. How do we trust The Lord when tensions are high? 

This month was very impactful for me. So many downloads from the Holy Spirit on how to navigate this changing world. This month had so many lessons that I inquired with the Holy Spirit on what to write about and it all came down to Trust. 

The biggest lesson I encountered this month was a lesson of Trust. Typically I have always thought that my intuition is pretty strong. This month the Holy Spirit CHECKED me and that belief that I realized that I was so wrong about the situation that I needed to take "several seats" lol So many seats that I could have filled up a stadium.

During this lesson, personally...The tensions were high, I was sure that I knew "The real reason" for the situation and my mind was spinning with responses, things that I wanted to say, what to say if abc was said etc. I know y'all have been there!

-Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control."

In this month the fruit that was needed was self control. "Dying to myself"- Gelations 2:20 and my will and submitting to Gods Will. 

Something interesting is that I wrote about a similar situation in January.  That situation was making an assumption before praying and asking the Holy Spirit what I should pray for. Here I am three months later dealing with a similar situation just nuanced in a different way. This time it was not about prayer it was about keeping my mouth shut and Trusting the Lord and allowing him to intervene. 

What is the actionable item / advice here? How do we Trust the Lord when everything seems to be going off the rails? 

Prayer. 

The Word of God. 

Repentance. 

Self accountability with God. 

Believer we must pray about everything. 

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" - Philippians 4:6-7

There is power in repentance. Jesus has all authority to forgive sins! "All Authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me" -Matthew 28:18

When we confess our sins to Jesus, ask for forgiveness and take accountability with God and renounce the behavior that caused us to be in the situation we are in. Jesus lifts that burden. "Take my yoke upon you  and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls." -Matthew 11:9 Not only does he lift the burden we were caring but he also strengthens our character. 

Living a repentant lifestyle is not about losing control of your life. It is about character building and yoking ourselves with the one and only intercessor. "Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us." -Romans 8:34 

This month I realized that I don't want to keep experiencing the same lesson over and over wrapped in different packaging. The only way I will be able to get out of these loops is by:

Strengthening my knowledge of the word of God. 

Continued pursuit of a relationship with Jesus Christ so he can prune me...."He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful." - John 15:2 

This month I realized and put in to action  "Pray with out ceasing" -1 Thessalonians 5:17 When we continue to strengthen our trust in Jesus to intercede for us. By doing so the fruit of the spirit becomes our character and first reaction. 

With warmth, 

Crystal
