Overcomer

Kevin and I have done a lot of talking lately about our position. Are we reactive or proactive? 

When things go to crap- fall apart- what do we do? 

Do we flip out? Stress out? Or do we hold our peace- because we trust the One that holds us? 

When the tests come- our level of faith is revealed. 

When the enemy tries to blow out our candle... Is he able? Does it just take one little breath? 

Read this quote from Brian Johnson today..." If you overcome and stay the course, you will have a song to sing." 

I have found this to be so true. 

Just to name a few...

I have been tested in my childhood. 

I have been tested in my marriage. 

I have been tested in my motherhood. 

I have been tested in relationships. 

I have been tested in how I see God. 

I have been tested in my view of who I thought I was in Him. And who He sees me as. 

And I overcame. I now stand on top of the things tried to kill my spirit and I stand from a position of an overcomer, and my song is the most free it's ever been. 

Why am I sharing this?? Because way too many think it should be an easy road. 

I want you to know that faith is not cheap. It's not attained easily. You are buying gold refined in the fire, and the fire is painful. 

But you don't forget the beautiful price that you paid for it, and man cannot take it away. 

Cling to your faith friends. Push through the fire. 

You are an overcomer, and your song is beautiful. Others need your song. 

No one can sing it quite like you.

Much love,
Christa ❤️
