Still Love Me Don't Ya?

Unbound, Breaking Free of Life’s Entanglements: Excerpts

If I have learned anything in life it is that seasons of life come and go. Change happens, and whether or not you embrace it will determine if you have a successful outcome or not. One of the most important things to Jack and me in our journey on this earth is to leave a legacy so that our children have a platform to begin their lives on. A part of our journey has included letting go of things you cannot control or should not control so you can embrace the change needed for successful living. Choosing this stance in our daily living has, on many occasions, helped us to live “unbound” and free of life’s entanglements to things that could cause a negative outcome in our life. Life itself does not always turn out the way think that it should. It is in those moments that we all learn what we are full of.

Unbound, Breaking Free of Life’s Entanglements: Excerpts

Well momentum is building as we wait the final touches for our book.  The release date is still set at May 1, 2012.  While finishing the final edits I took a trip back down memory lane to places where the story chapters took place. What prompted this was an appointment with my hairdresser..In one week she lost her brother to cancer and her mom to a heart attack..>They had a double funeral for them both.  As she was telling me her story today I felt her pain as she shared.  The one thing I did not see in her countenance or hear in her voice was anger towards God.  She simply stated how blest she was that her mom and brother both were with Jesus.  When we have an eternal assurance of where our earthly destiny ends and all of our tomorrows begin it is near impossible to feel anything but peace and a gratefulness to Him for His sacrifice for us.  As I listened intently to Cindy’s story I found myself sliding back to the day with Jack when he went to be with Jesus.  I remembered what I pinned in my book, that at the moment of Jack’s death I was giving an opportunity to choose courage or abandonment.  So many of today when faced with life’s crisis also have the same choices to make…The book Unbound speaks of many choices to choose courage and live out our destinies unbound to life situations…

Ps 119: 9-16

How can a young person live a clean life? 

By carefully reading the map of your Word. 

   I’m single-minded in pursuit of you; 

      don’t let me miss the road signs you’ve posted. 

   I’ve banked your promises in the vault of my heart 

      so I won’t sin myself bankrupt. 

   Be blessed, God; 

      train me in your ways of wise living. 

   I’ll transfer to my lips 

      all the counsel that comes from your mouth; 

   I delight far more in what you tell me about living 

      than in gathering a pile of riches. 

   I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you, 

      I attentively watch how you’ve done it. 

   I relish everything you’ve told me of life, 

      I won’t forget a word of it.

Isnt Father amazing…..I am a member of the pretzel buddy club and the doing things to calm yourself down so you can hear His voice and relate to Him is the posture we need so we can gain wisdom to apply to our lives….Man I might have to have an Aunt Annies pretzel today with a short pumkin spice skinny latte….

Place of Rest

When you find that place of rest in your identity then it will be very easy to fulfill your destiny.  Sometimes I just wish I did not have to live what I say. But then if I did not who would want to hear my voice?Trying to figure out what you thought you had figured out is often still a mystery.Life of intregrity is the drawing card into others life.  They see you live courage and choose life even when you dont feel you have anything left.

What are the keys to just figuring out who you are? I have so much of the time been more focused on others successes and being a part of helping other ministries to get on their feet that I tend to forget that I need to focus on the things that make me personally a success.  You know it is okay to put yourself first at times.  I am beginning to live this lesson at this point in my life.  I have reared my kids and loved the world and now it is time to make sure this season of my life is focused on my final quest.

 I am going to start a personal coaching blog for those of you who would love to learn from life lessons of a seasoned person who has given her all to love, seen many others lives changed and families restored.

Keep your eye opened for more….  

Raising A Challenge

Should love really be a process?  What are the guidelines to really loving someone? How do you know if you really unconditionally love a person?  I am not talking about romance type of love I am talking about loving those in your family or sphere of influence. Sometimes it takes something tragic or almost tragic to help you realize the great affection that you do have for that person.

Tonight my little granddaughter got distracted from what she was suppose to be doing and decided that she would move away from her mom’s side.  In a split second I felt like I was to turn around and when I did a car was backing up out of a parking slot and Emma was right in the car’s path.  Scared silly and being to far away to do anything else I began to scream at Sarah and Sarah immediately ran and grabbed Emma out of the car’s path. 

Knowing now that Emma is safe you begin to process all of the what ifs?  As a mom Sarah felt a little anger that Emma had disobeyed her and thus endangered her own life.  Every mother’s horror that something tragic could happen to your child.  But as a Nana I could not stop crying as I realized how much this child means to me.

Emma has an amazing call of God on her life.  She is a natural born leader.  Raising this type of individual can be one of the most challenging things any mother can be destined for.  I have raised three such children.  I think the most important thing I have learned is to identify their individuality and to always let them know how much they are loved in the training process.  Even when we fail or become distracted that we are still unconditionally loved and accepted.

  Of course discipline is a very real part of the training process and Emma was disciplined for leaving momma’s side, but also I feel the parent needs to remember to create an atmosphere where the child knows that in the times they disobey that they are still very much loved.  Doug and Sarah do this quite well.  Emma was told all the next day how important she is and how loved she is even though she disobeyed her mom and could have caused a tragedy in her life.  However innocent, sometimes all it takes is the smallest infraction of disobedience that will open doors to calamidy in a person’s life.

So I dedicate this to every mother that has been given the rare opportunity of raising a person with a great destiny.  Relax, take a lot of deep breaths, take time for you and embrace the challenge with courage and understanding that you also are a part of this great process.  Dont forget that when you feel overwhelmed by thier unrelentling behavior that you also must become unrelenting in your unconditional love and yes discipline.

An unrelenting mom

She is Coming Around the Mountain..My Heart is Established

Many of us have heard the old cliche two steps forward and one step backwards.  This has unfortunately become the anthem for many of us.  I mean our life circumstances prove this to be true.  Our national anthem then becomes she’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes.  Well if I have been around the mountain more than once on an issue in my life it has been believing this lie and making it truth in my life. Whatever a man believes that he will often become.  I am tired of going through what seems like the same issue I overcame a while ago and now it is back..Why does this happen so many times to us?  I feel for me it happens when I don’t have my heart established in an area of belief that Father is trying to work through me.  Example:  The financial thing always seems to be an issue for me.  Everyday my needs are met and usually with more left over and I can trust Father for the basics.  Believing for my dreams to be provided for that is another issue.   Recently I revisited the Psalms and came across Ps 112:7&8. He will not be afraid of evil things; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.  His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

 Jeremiah 29:11-14 is a must read if you are struggling with allowing Him to lead your dreams and provide for them.  Basically that passage says He knows what the plan is and will provide for you as you seek Him and His direction for you.  He listens…So often I spout off what I have need of and often wonder: did He really listen and will He do it.  Well, this passage also speaks of seeking Him out.  This type of seeking (Darash) in Hebrew means a diligence in the searching process.  Diligence means giving proper attention and care to something.  This type of seeking also refers to an intensity of looking for Him that goes beyond normal prayer.

So name that enemy, begin to diligently seek your answer and then establish your heart in the word that you get.  Remember His word is not just the black book that it comes in, His word is His integrity.  It is who He is because He says so..

Today I say my heart is established in being able to trust my Heavenly Father with my dreams and the plans He has for my life.  So when you see Trisha coming around that mountain again, this time she will be driving six white horses……I have been reshoed cause the shoes I used to wear are not big enough for the vision of today… 

Love you all! I speak massive blessings to you…Remember Dream, Pray and Live in trust of Him for your tomorrows…..She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes, she’ll be driving six white horses when she comes, she’ll be driving six white horses, she’ll be driving six white horses, she’ll be driving six white horses when she comes, and there is not gonna be any whoa back….

Words are Directional: Pay Attention to Them

Recently I had the most amazing opportunity to attend a partners in harvest gathering. I was asked to share for about 2 min. what was going on in my life. So I simply shared the life and ministry that God continues to allow us to walk in. At this gathering several words were spoken over me. Betsy Kylstra spoke the words that the time of sorrow is over it is passed.  Now this we already knew but with her speaking it it gave more life to the meaning of it.   There are new levels of destiny and purpose in store for you. She saw me standing on this long stretch of beach shore.  While standing there these gigantic waves begin to crash over me. They were waves  of new levels of anointing, destiny and purpose. She said the waves were gigantic but the most important thing was a long stretch of shore. Shoreline. This is the extent of something.  To her the shoreline was on and on forever… Then a pastor’s wife from Summerville, SC  told me that she saw me dancing on top of a world globe in this full skirted skirt. She said I was dancing so freely and just full of life. Next I stood in line to be prayed for and John Arnott came over and he grabbed my hand like he was going to shake it and he said the words faithful, faithful, faithful. “Trish that you have been like a rock of Gibraltar.” Then Carol grabbed my hands and smeared new levels of anointing into the palms of my hands. She kept doing this over and over and over. My hands began to tingle and they tingled for the next two days. I was slain in the spirit for the rest of the meeting and when I got up I rolled over on my glasses and broke the arm off. Now I could have focused on being upset about the fact that I rolled over onto a $300 pair of glasses. After such a good time why on earth did this happen? I could judge God as mean for allowing this to happen. But somehow I knew this was not the end of my trial and testing of the word that had just been planted deep into my heart.

So we left the meeting full of new life and I chose to walk out the in door of the church where there was no lighting. As I was leaving out of the corner of my eye I saw Duncan. He was sitting on his Harley and  as I went to speak to him I fell facedown on my knees in the palms of my hands. I was so stunned that I could not move for several minutes I also could not talk.   I heard the words being said in my spirit man that the enemy comes immediately to steal, kill and destroy the seed that is planted within us. I felt the Lord showed me that because I fell on my hands and injured my knee that this was simply the enemy coming immediately to try and steal the words of life spoken over me. I could choose to be mad at God or I could choose to laugh in the enemy’s face.  Doug and Duncan help me to get up. I shook myself off and laughed and I spoke into the enemy’s space if you can’t get my joy you can’t keep my goods so give it all back, it all belongs to me! I feel because I made that choice that Father God led me to study Habakkuk  and Haggai.  Habakkuk means to embrace and Haggai means festive. I am choosing to embrace a festive lifestyle of living my destiny.   While studying Habakkuk I learned a new word Chayah it means life, to live, to stay alive, to flourish, to enjoy life, to live in happiness, to recover health and live continuously. This is my choice and I declare it as a word of life over you. Chayah!!!! Means almost as much to me as the word shalom.

Living life festively in His embrace!

Prayer Journey with Beni Johnson and Jacque

So for those of you who have been waiting on the outcome of the prayer journey with Beni Johnson and Jacque here it is. We were having some funny things going on at Shiloh. Sarah called it a spirit of inconvience. Nothing wrong but something was not right. Many small things began to break.   We begin to have mice problems, lots of sickness from family and team, finances have gotten really tight yet we do lots of ministry and lives are changing greatly with many testimonies to back it up. We even had a someone who was connected with Derek Prince ministries come by and pray over our property and he saw an imp type figure over our arch on our property trying to choke the life out of the ministry. We spoke to Beni about it and also told her about a prophecy over the eastern seaboard of the usa and ask her if she would come and do one of her prayer journeys in our area. She agreed and we flew her out and here are the results.

The word over our area prophecied by Kim Clement, Cathy Lechner and other things said over SC by Dutch Sheets in his book is that a major revival would break out on the Eastern Seaboard and spread throughout the USA from East to West but focusing its start between Wilmington and Charleston. Beni had already had been given a mandate to pray over the Eastern Seaboard the Mass. area. So as Beni and Jacgue began to pray they felt lead to begin at the sight where the old space needle was because they felt like we need to begin with the communication lines. There evidently was communication lines on top of the space needle and Hwy 17 was like a lay line for demonic activity. We broke the line by praying over it and releasling festive angels to minister to our area and that the prophetic words that had been spoken over our area would come to fruiation. We walked across the property the needle was on and released destiny.

One of the ladies who have for years set up prayer times over our county blew the shofar for liberty and to seal the release of these angels and destiny and then we all began to roar and release liberty.. Whlie Beni was here the news of Bin Laden being killed was released. I felt like with this major influence being destroyed in the natural that a stronghold of death had been destroyed in the spiritual over our area and that this word was now free to be released over our area.

Then we headed out to Shiloh the next day to try to figure out what was going on there.

Beni interviewed me over if there could have been any curses put upon the land by either previous owners or anyone who did not like our ministry we did uncover a few things and headed out to pray over the property. Beni, myself, Majesta, Doug,Sarah and some of my grands and other team members along with Jacque went to the four corners of our property knelt down and released blessings and destiny thus breaking any curses upon the land or ministry.

Beni brought her big bell and the next generation, my kids and grands rang the bell and ask the Holy Spirit to again release those festive angels with destiny in their hands over Shiloh Place.

Since that time it is like new life in us first as a family, those things we are pondering in our hearts at the moment but their is also new vision and life in the ministry which the results of that will be coming forth as they happen… There is a liberty in my spirit and soul. The heaviness seems to be lifted on the property and we shall see what the future holds. Good stuff….

While at the beach though Journey saw an angel and the angel told her his name was Jayden.. Jayden means God has heard…

Pefect way to end a wonderful prayer journey.. 

Seasons

I was looking out of the window of my Carolina room today when I noticed my myrtle tree was blooming.  Just a few short weeks ago I really thought it had died.  The branches were old and white and looked very brittle.  I thought our on again off again weather had killed the whole tree.  Then, today I saw that there was still beautiful life in this tree.   It was budding and was waiting on nature to allow it to bloom.  I thought about the last few years of this tree’s life and how often the blooms of this tree had been so beautiful and how much pleasure it had brought to me to be able to just sit and watch it bloom in springtime.  In fact, it was so beautiful that others took notice of it and even wanted one for their yards. Thinking it was dead led me to begin to look for something new and I was wondering how much my lawn guy would charge me to replace it with a new and different type of tree that would withstand the erratic whether conditions.  After all, the tree had served its purpose and maybe it was time for something new.

Then out of nowhere this tree began to bloom. The life that still remained broke through. Now, it once again enriches my life offering me more beauty and pleasure.  How amazing is that?!

So many of us have thought our season of giving life was over when in actuality we were just waiting on Nature to bring change to our nature so that we have more beauty to share.  I imagine the blooms this year on this tree will be bigger and more colorful than in years past.  Why?  Because this tree really had not reached maturity yet.  It needed more “seasons” to become more “seasoned.”  

I thought that the things around it, its circumstances of life, had destroyed its most productive years to come when it had not.  It was just being pruned so it could live again.  Many of you are in a pruning season so you to can live again. You might feel that your life is no longer beautiful enough to give pleasure and joy to others who might be in your sphere of influence.   I want to encourage you that the best years for you are yet to come because it is our life’s experiences that mature us into the fathers and mothers that the world needs in order for the sons and daughters of today to fulfill their destinies and become the fathers and mothers of the future.  So choose life.  Live again…No matter what your pruning season might be like.  LIVE!!!
