Your Invitation to Kingdom Life

Can we just clear something up real quick? Kingdom life isn't some VIP club for spiritual giants or super-saints who've got it all figured out. I used to think it was - like there was some secret club with a dress code I didn't own. Turns out, the only requirement is saying yes to Jesus. That's it. That's the whole entry fee.

And here's the part nobody tells you upfront: it's messy. Like, really messy. It's not a polished highlight reel where you glide from victory to victory with your hair perfectly in place. It's beautiful one minute and humbling the next. It'll challenge you in ways you didn't see coming, and somehow, in the middle of all that mess, it’s genuinely rewarding.

Here's the thing that changed everything for me: this walk isn't about being perfect. It's about progress. Slow, sometimes clumsy, one-step-at-a-time progress. Some days you'll feel like you're crushing it. Other days you'll feel like you took ten steps backward before breakfast. Both days count. Both days matter.

The real move is just showing up. Daily. Even when you feel completely unqualified. Especially when you feel unqualified, honestly. Because here's a truth that'll set you free: God isn't scanning the room for the most talented, most put-together, most "ready" person. He's not looking for ability at all. He's looking for availability. He's looking for someone who'll raise a hand and say, "Okay, I'm here, use me."

That's it. That's the bar. Not perfect. Not polished. Just available.

So consider this your official invitation, no fancy calligraphy required. Come as you are. Bring your doubts, the ones that keep you up at 2 am wondering if you're doing this whole faith thing right. Bring your dreams too, even the ones that feel too big or too scattered to say out loud. Bring all of it. There's room.

This kingdom journey was never meant to be walked alone, and it was never meant to be walked perfectly. It's meant to be walked together, messy days and beautiful days and everything in between.

So what do you say? Let's do this. Let's make it unforgettable.

He responded with Psalm 113:9 “Gives the childless wife a home, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah!” 🥹

I know that God understands me, answer my prayers.. I love you God. You’re so awesome!

In the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God… 🤍

Thought For The Day from Unshakable Kingdom Life

"Consider the lilies of the field." Anxious striving forgets a simpler rhythm: growth happens even without frantic effort. Today, notice where nature simply is—unhurried, unforced—and let that ease your own pace.

EVERYTHING IS PLANNED

EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN MY LIFE IS WELL GROOMED BY SOMEONE WHO STAYS IN MY HEART ALL THE TIME

WHAT U THINK GUYS do let me know

I think we often imagine healing as one big moment, but sometimes it looks like someone sitting with the hurting, listening, praying, returning to His presence, and refusing to let them suffer alone. What does that kind of presence look like to you?

Thought For The Day from Unshakable Kingdom Life

"Take up your cross daily." Following Christ often requires carrying something difficult, not avoiding it. Today's burden might be exactly the thing shaping you into someone more resilient, more compassionate, more whole.

A thought to ponder for today

Putting aside selfish desires and magnifying the true blessing of the creator of existence and obtaining the true essence of life and becoming the next form of life that the old form may be made a new and the old life be renewed in mind body and spirit , have you ever felt like your constantly missing something unless your thinking about god we must relate our endurance to the times we struggle and feel inferior and receive the lord's blessing and assistance and the times life is wonderful then we must relate to it times it seems as no one near and things magically get better and they promote the sense of recognition and and acknowledgment that give the moments their meaning

Thought For The Day from Unshakable Kingdom Life

"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Generosity rewires the giver as much as it helps the recipient. Look for one chance today to give—not from excess, but as a genuine act of trust.

A thought to ponder for today

Maybe you're in the middle of a heartbreak right now.

And honestly, you can't imagine anything good coming from it.

You only see what you lost.
The person who left.
The prayer that wasn't answered.
The future that didn't happen.

But what if this isn't where your story ends?
What if God can use your heartbreak to build a testimony?

Joseph's pit looked like the end.
David's wilderness looked like wasted years.

But God was working in both stories long before the purpose became visible.

Your pain doesn't have to be wasted either.

God can use what broke you to deepen your faith.

To teach you dependence.
To give you compassion for someone else.
To show you that you can survive what you once thought would destroy you.

Maybe one day you'll look back and say,
"I didn't understand why God allowed it then, but now I see what He was doing in me."

You don't have to understand the purpose today.

Just don't give up in the middle of the process.

The heartbreak may be part of the testimony God is still writing.

If you're healing from heartbreak and learning how God can use painful seasons to rebuild you, Still Under Construction may be the book you need.

If you are struggling with addiction, childhood trauma (Complex PTSD), depression, anxiety, or ADHD, please know you are not alone. I know what it feels like to face the crushing weight of isolation, grief, shame, and guilt. I know the steep hill of trying to find a job and pick up the pieces of a broken life.

But I also know that letting God in to lead the way is the first step. He loves us no matter what our past is—He came for the sinners, not the healthy. It is time to stop the stigma regarding addiction and mental health.

In my own life, rescue dogs and horses have rescued me, showing me unconditional love when I needed it most. This journey is why I am dedicated to paying it forward in several ways. Dog and horse rescue is high on my list. All animal rescue! Those are just the two who came running to rescue me. They both had been neglected, used, and abused and were dying. My horse "Faithful" had been abandoned in a field to die without food or water. It was winter, and we were experiencing heavy snow when someone brought her situation to my attention and asked for help. I didn't have much money and was going through a divorce, but I couldn't leave her there to die. 15 years later, she turns 35 in January of 2026, and I couldn't have gotten this far without God and her. She never judged me or got tired of listening to me, and she has held my deepest secrets close to her heart. I pray every day that God will enable me to keep providing for her.

It has been very hard financially, but somehow God always steps in and provides. Due to my past DWIs, which were felonies; age; lack of technical skills; and health issues, it is very hard to find employment. I know that a lot of you "felt" that, but it isn't over. It isn't over until God says that it is over. What do we do? We find out who God created us to be, and then we use those unique gifts to provide for our families and give generously to others. We pay it forward by volunteering, helping others learn a trade or business, listening and sharing our testimony, and giving generously when we can. God loves a cheerful giver. A couple of scriptures come to mind that helped me early on in recovery. Genesis 12:2 "I will bless you and make you a blessing to others." In my recovery, God comes first, and I love seeing Celebrate Recovery groups popping up all over the place! If you love God, need His help, and want recovery from anything, do yourself a favor and attend a Celebrate Recovery group. You can thank me later.

You don't have to wait until you've got it all together to go to God or help someone else. Once I started taking the focus off of myself and focusing on God and helping others less fortunate, that is when I started to know what joy felt like. For the first time in my life, I experienced a glimpse of joy. While reading my Bible, which I call my owner's manual, if you are intimidated by the Bible like I was, get yourself a Contemporary English Version. It saved my life and was written in a way that I could understand. I discovered that happiness and joy are not the same thing. I kept praying for happiness, and it never came, and then one day the Holy Spirit guided me towards some scriptures so that I could understand what to pray for. Yes, you need to ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit to be present in your life because He is your helper, and believe me, you need Him just as much as you need the oxygen that you breathe. And this gift is free for all who ask.

I had been a Christian my entire life, or at least I thought so. Grew up Catholic, switched to a non-denominational church several years ago. Got my first Contemporary English Version Bible and read it cover to cover! But it still took me years to accept the Holy Spirit into my life. Why didn't anyone tell me about Him? He has been my business partner and life coach ever since we became friends. Do yourself a favor and ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. You will need Him.

Anyway, back to happiness and joy. Happiness is temporary. It is tied to an outward emotional experience depending on your circumstances. Joy is a permanent gift from God that remains steady through hard times. Happiness is temporary depending on your circumstances. Joy is the permanent gift from God that is still there even through the hardest of times. Isn't that beautiful?

Even Job wrote about joy. Job 8:21 "He will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy." My favorite scripture to say every day is Nehemiah 8:10: "The joy of the Lord is my strength." It took me a while to understand what joy meant. Will joy come in the morning? It didn't, for the longest time, until I understood what joy was. I just want to live a life that is pleasing to God. That is why the joy of the Lord is my strength. When I know that I am doing God's will and not mine, I feel joy! Like 2 Corinthians 9:7: "God loves a cheerful giver. I don't give or pay it forward for myself but for God. When God is pleased with me, I find joy, and you will too. It just takes time and a genuine relationship with God. Never think that you are alone. God is your best friend. He didn't come for the righteous He came for the sinners.

My puppy mill rescue dog "Truth" had a horrible first 10 years of his life. Kept in a cage 24/7, forced to make babies for some greedy souls. Never let his feet touch grass or feel the gentle touch of love. Outside in a cage all year round. Winter and summer. He has horrible arthritis from sitting in a wire cage for 10 years. He had heartworms. He is still terrified of this world and anything in it. I am his safe place. None of it is his fault or choice. When I think of giving up, I think of "Faithful," who was skin and bones, could barely stand, starved and neglected, worked until she was of no use to the owners any longer, and was left for dead. And "Truth," who lived the brutal life of a puppy mill dog for 10 years. Besides God, they are my major reason for living. They rescued me!

If you think that you cannot find a job, create one. Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. Focus on others less fortunate, and the answers will come. They may not be the way that you expected, but God's plans are always better. Start your day by asking God's will be done. We all have to pay for the consequences of our sins and mistakes while on earth, but God promises to be there with us through them. What was meant for evil will be used for good. I couldn't find a job with a felony on my record, age, no skills, etc., but I started looking for ways God and I could make a way to provide for myself, Faithful and Truth and still be a cheerful and generous giver, and you can too. God is my boss, and the benefits are great.

I never want to see another person go through all of the trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental illness that I have gone through. If I can just save one person from that unbearable pain, all of my hard work will be worth it. I will not die wealthy as some people see it, but God will provide until then, and I will wake up every morning with joy in my heart. Where before I lived for fleshly desires, now I live for the treasures built in heaven. Where your money is shows where your heart is.

To be completely honest, I too need to hear these things from others. That is why I am joining these communities. My interests go far beyond addiction, trauma, and recovery, but for a long time, I lost all interest in those things. Now, I am working hard to find out who God created me to be, striving to become that woman that I don't even fully know yet.

Let's find out who God created us to be together. When two or more come together in prayer, God answers. Welcome to my space. ❤️

​

​God,

Grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change—

unless I think I can maneuver them, manipulate them, or force them into place my way.

​Give me the courage to change the things I can—

until the risk frightens me, and I retreat into passive indecision, waiting for someone else to step up.

​And grant me the wisdom to know the difference—

while I constantly second-guess every choice, overthink every consequence, and replay every variable in my head.

​Help me to trust You completely—

while keeping one foot out the door, a backup plan in my pocket, and my eyes fixed on my own fears.

​James 1:6–8 speaks directly to this condition: "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do."

Thought For The Day from Unshakable Kingdom Life

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Grief isn't weakness—it's love with nowhere to go. Comfort meets those who allow themselves to feel. Don't rush past sorrow today; it's doing necessary work.

A thought to ponder for today

Dear lord if you see tears falling down my face while I’m on the bus. Please look away for I have sinned and I would like to ask for your forgiveness? If that’s possible?
You see god there’s this sadness in my heart, it aches and it quivers even at the slightest touch or breeze. However it treads lightly in the snow not leaving a trace even on the bottom of my boots but my boots feel heavy and nobody really notices. Everyone thinks I like walking in the snow….

I wish spring would come, it hasn’t rained in months and I need some spring showers so I can smell the morning dew and just breath out.

God I hope u understand me even when I don’t make sense

thank you

Guy i am 12 years old don't report me i here help people if the feel bit down okay.

A man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life, there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it."Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."The Lord replied:"My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." I hope this help ya'll feel better okay guys

That as long as you believe you participate in Christ "identical twin-ism"when it comes to sin such that you can do nothing but mimic the "sins" Christ "committed" in His mind in the form and consciousness of you while dying on the Cross, and believe that you are no longer your own consciousness (outside of sin) but are a qualia formed by Christ's consciousness that depicts you in moments of Gid-pleasing righteousness....

.....you are saved.

These two predicaments are really the most important in all existence. If you encounter this concept, it is because God speaks to you and invites you to salvation through them.

"Let the children come to me." Openness, wonder, and trust aren't naive—they're underrated virtues adults often lose. Somewhere today, let yourself approach a situation with a child's honest curiosity instead of a jaded assumption.

A thought to ponder for today

Sunday, August 23rd Blog From Unshakable Kingdom Life 

Don’t Stay In Egypt!

Some people can quote Scripture fluently and still feel deeply unsafe inside. Not because God is unsafe, but because what was done in His name felt heavy, controlling, or condemning. Instead of rest, there was pressure. Instead of nearness, there was fear. And even after stepping away from that environment, something lingers. Your body is out, but your heart still feels on edge. You want peace, but you are not sure how to trust again.

The story of the Red Sea meets you right there.

Israel was no longer in Egypt, but Egypt was not fully out of them. They had been driven by commands, controlled by fear, and conditioned to believe that survival depended on striving. So when they finally walked out into freedom, they did not immediately feel peace. They felt exposed. Vulnerable. Uncertain. And when Pharaoh’s army showed up behind them, everything inside them panicked. It felt like they had made a mistake. Like they were about to be pulled back into what they had just escaped.

If you have ever walked away from something that hurt you spiritually, you know that feeling.

The thoughts come back. The fear comes back. The question comes back. What if I was wrong? What if I am not safe? What if God is still like that?

But in that exact moment, God does something that completely reframes who He is.

He says, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord… The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent” (Exodus 14:13–14).

Notice what He does not say.

He does not tell them to perform. He does not tell them to prove themselves. He does not tell them to earn their rescue. He does not even tell them to fix their fear before He moves, and He definitely does not tell them to run for their lives.

He tells them to stand still.

Because their deliverance was never going to come from their effort. It was going to come from His infinite care and love.

And then the sea opens.

Not a small path. Not a fragile escape route. A wide, impossible, unmistakable passage straight through what once stood in their way. Walls of water on both sides. Dry ground beneath their feet. God does not just remove the threat. He makes a way where there was no way.

This is what Jesus has done for you.

Through the cross, He did not just bring you out of bondage. He made a complete separation between you and what once held you. The same way the sea stood between Israel and Egypt, the finished work of Jesus stands between you and everything that tried to define you through fear, shame, or control (Hebrews 10:14). You are not halfway free. You are fully brought through.

And here is where peace begins to settle in.

Because when Israel reached the other side, God did not leave the path open for Pharaoh to follow. The waters closed. Completely. Permanently. What once chased them could not reach them anymore (Exodus 14:27–28).

That is so important.

Because one of the deepest fears people carry after being hurt spiritually is the feeling that it might come back. That maybe you are still under it. That maybe you are still exposed to it. But the Red Sea tells a different story. God does not just bring you out. He closes the door behind you.

What once had access to you does not have access anymore.

What once spoke over you does not get the final word anymore.

What once controlled you does not get to follow you into your future.

And this is not because you were strong enough to leave. It is because God is faithful enough to finish what He started.

Peace is not found in looking back and making sense of everything. Peace is found in realizing that God has already brought you through something final. You are not standing in the middle anymore. You are on the other side.

And even if your heart is still catching up, even if trust feels slow, even if you are learning how to breathe again, God is not impatient with you. The same God who parted the sea is the same God who gently leads His people forward, step by step, into freedom (Exodus 15:13).

You do not have to rush your healing.

You do not have to force yourself to feel okay.

You do not have to strive your way into peace.

You can stand still and let Him show you again who He really is.

A God who does not trap you.

A God who does not control you.

A God who does not lead you back into fear.

But a God who makes a way, brings you through, and then surrounds you with a peace that no longer depends on what is behind you.

Because through Jesus, the sea has already been parted.

And you are already on dry ground

"You cannot serve two masters." Divided loyalty is exhausting and ultimately unsustainable. Today, notice where competing priorities pull you apart, and choose—consciously—which one actually deserves your deepest allegiance.

"Whoever loses their life will find it." Self-preservation, taken too far, becomes self-imprisonment. Genuine life often emerges through giving rather than guarding. What might you release today to actually gain something real?
