5. Toss the TV 9.30.19

5. Want to hear the one about me giving up Chick fil a? No, good because I don’t either.
Ashley giving up chick fil a, speaking craziness, what is this?! I don’t even know, but I bet it means our time is almost up.
By this point I have been having a complete loss of appetite. It’s been days now since any real substance but I’ve been trying to pick when I can. I’m nauseous and sick from everything I feel/see all darn day. I think to myself, I love Chick fil a spicy chicken. If I get one I bet my appetite will come back, I bet I’ll be able to eat again. I just need spicy chicken. Well, now I am in the Chick fil a drive thru to get my usual spicy chicken sandwich and sweet tea for me and mac n cheese for Nash. I am one car away from ordering my meal, and it hits me like lightening. “NO More Meat!” And I go “Oh come on, that’s not even fair, I’m right about to order!!” and the Lord god laughed and said “you’ll see why soon.” I think he gets a kick outta me sometimes. He sure likes to play that timing card of His. I have heeded that word and have not had any meat since. I ordered Mac n cheese for Nash and I thought I’ll try a soup. So I get a soup and get to Erik’s house to visit with Nash and I can barely swallow a noodle and then I ended up spilling the whole thing by accident and I go, Ok Lord, continue fasting it is.
Fast forward to last night I am having all these words pouring out of me and I’m trying to write them all down and I took a break to get a drink of tea and I realize that it was Sunday. I go “ooh 90 day fiance is recorded, I’ll take a break to watch it.” I go to sit down and again like lightening I hear “if your right hand” and I know enough scripture to know that means business. So at 5am I tore the TiVo box off of the TV. The kids can have their Netflix and I will be less distracted.
Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Matthew 5:29-30
Now let’s go read Acts, Ash. We have work to do.

258. Is Jesus Enough?

Is Jesus enough for you? What if we never arrive? What if like Moses you wander in the desert for years only to have the Joshua generation be the one to enter the promised land? The land that was originally promised to Abraham 42 generations prior. 42 generations it took to fulfill that promise.  What if you’re generation 37, or 16, or 5 or 41. What if your family is this close to the breakthrough of the promised land that you’ve been praying for, and you give up now? What if you take the bait of the enemy and quit before you reach the finish line? Or worse yet, you give up, erase the efforts of every generation before you, and your kids or grandkids never meet Jesus at all.  This is your reminder…don’t fall for it. Same evil tactics different worldly package. All designed to kill, steal and destroy.  Satan doesn’t have to take your life if he can take your peace, wrap you in groundhog’s days, and have you spread that woe is me, lack of joy under a “Christian” label, like...

254. The Eyes of the Lord

  As we enter 2025 the only advice I could possibly have for anyone is to look to Jesus Christ. To center your life on His will, His word and His way. That there is nothing found in this world that can satisfy the needs of your soul like the savior. The call for 2025 is to continue drawing near and pouring out, where ever you may be, in whatever way you’re called, in Jesus mighty name. The healing revival emerging will not be held back. Lean in, pray through, and walk it out. You’re called, it’s time to act like it, as doers of the word. Amen! The other day as we were driving, I approached the Lord in prayer. Prayer for letting go of everything that needs left behind in 2024.  Prayers of thanksgiving and praise. Prayers of repentance and petitions for mercy. Prayers of gratitude for the grace and restoration that ended this year in such a different capacity than it all began. Prayers for guidance, for wisdom and for ears to hear. Prayers to be love and to have eyes to see what...

257. Freedom

  Testimony time!! Did you ever come to the realization that certain things you may consider as part of your personality actually aren’t? Did it ever occur to you that there are things we have struggled with since childhood, and identified with, that could truly be overcome by the power and presence of Jesus Christ?! Do we really fathom and obtain what we have access to as sons and daughters of the most high God?!  Last night the Lord set me free from something I thought I’d never “grow out of”.  Fear of entrapment. This feeling of being trapped in tight spaces, or feeling confined when hugged or overly touched has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. I have always hated being confined or tightly held for long periods of time. It would bring up this panic in me that was hard to describe. It would start as an unsettling in my stomach and a feeling that I needed to walk or move. Then it would progress to the point where it honestly felt like my stomach was going t...
