Thursday Trench Truth

Welcome to Thursday’s Truthful Humor with Trench Classes United where we embrace truth and share laughter from it. A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Mercedes in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues.       As he got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore off the door on the driver's side.       The lawyer immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and within minutes a policeman pulled up. Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Mercedes, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter what the body shop did to it.       When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else."       "How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.       The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."        "What!" screamed the lawyer. "My Rolex is gone!" What happens when possessions become more important than people? Nothing good; that’s for sure! For more encouragement, join our Facebook community @ www.facebook.com/trenchclassesunited or take a tour at www.trenchclassesunited.com

To let go and let God loosens your grip and tightens His

What does that even mean, to let go and let God? I think it depends on what it is that needs to be let go of. For example, is it a worry that has you in a white-knuckle frame of mind? Is it a loss? A resentment? An addiction of any kind? Whatever it is that we need to let go of is something we weren’t meant to carry.

The longer we ignore the truth, the less we’ll recognize it - Tuesday Trench Truth

Many of us have had the unfortunate experience of someone being tricked by lies, walking away from what they’ve known to be true. It’s hard to watch the deception of that kind of reception. It leaves us with a sense of powerlessness and hopelessness, which is rarely easy to maneuver. And the sad truth is that the longer they stay in the lie(s) the less they will recognize the truth.

I think the deeper we love, the harder it is to watch.

When we realize that we are powerless in this kind of situation and surrender the one deceived to Him who receives and restores, the only One who has the power to cast light on the dark because of His sovereignty, we retain our sanity, and He promises to bring dignity. It truly takes letting go and letting God, which we will explore more on Thursday with Thursday’s Trench Truth…

Contentment is when He is all you need

Monday Message

When I think of heaven, the words perfect peace and joy, utter contentment come to mind. And yet, we don’t have to wait until we get there to experience that sense of peace and contentment. Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Today’s message is a great example of how to get to that place when all we need is our God; for then…enough will be enough Spirit of David Fall fresh upon us

Relationships are like puzzles; the frame should be done first

Wednesday Word

They stood side by side, each looking for the pieces with faces on them and as they worked together, putting the pieces in their right places, a sense of satisfaction filled the air. “We make a great team,” he exclaimed every time she handed him the piece to fill the right spot. She smiled…inwardly and outwardly. Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Kim-Evinda and Trench Classes United. Today’s blog is a great reminder that in life, and especially in and with relationships, there needs to be a framework of sorts that holds the relationship(s) together. The puzzle was titled “Music” and had at least 200 famous musicians captured within the 1000 pieces. He had already had the frame completed when she came over for their doggie-play date, and he had started filling it in here and there. Immediately she realized while the “filling in” was probably the hardest, it was made easier because the frame was already intact. Her theory proved true as they added to its picture, piece by piece, high fiving each other for their finds. It wasn’t until the next morning when she was sitting in her quiet time thinking of their time spent that the analogy hit her like a bucket of refreshing water. Any worthwhile relationship required a framework, a foundation if you will, to build upon. To try and put the pieces of a relationship together before that is established is setting the relationship up for unnecessary challenges. That’s not to say that because of the framework being built first that there won’t be challenges, but with a strong frame built, it can stand the test of time as the pieces join the puzzle and the frame holds it together. Thoughtfully, Kim-Evinda

In a social media, solution based, struggle for happiness kind of world, is there any wonder that the use of antidepressants/antianxiety medication is up 64%? What would happen if we truly applied a bit of faith into our relationship with God? What would happen if we really tried to learn more about our Loving God instead of leaving Him a message every now and then? So much interferes with the reception of His love which hinders an accurate perception of His love. ​ Can I encourage you today to apply a bit of faith by getting to know The One who longs to turn your anxiety into peace, your fears into fearlessness, your depression into hope? While it’s not a quick fix, no relationship is, it’s a forever fix. Love, Kim-Evinda
