Forever and a Day

Hey Guys, Trachena here💖

Smile Jesus Loves you, for real. 

​💓

It seems like it's been forever and a day since sharing in the Great work the Lord has been doing. I want to first give a big shout out to those who continue to support the ministry, I appreciate you more than you know, thank you deeply!

Not to mention an inmate who brought me to tears; she sent the ministry $140, saying she wanted to give her tithes to the only ministry that really loved her unconditionally! Wow. 

So God.

Even so;

Times have been tough,

but His Goodness and Love never fails.

So sorry to all who have experience any sort of loss, from COVID-19, my heart goes out to you.

We all had some adjustments in one way or another. Including the ministry. But make no mistake the passion is even greater to serve others in this great Love of Jesus and to share His Joy. I am faithfully forever in this to the end no matter what.

God willing more outreaches will come as the Lord opens doors.

For now the ministry has been serving in Pink Love, 

with letters of love, hope and encouragement.

As well as serving their needs through stationary, stamps, journals, books, note cards and whatever else the Lord provides.

This is huge so you know.

Even one stamp means the world to them. 

They still even get to read devotionals that are mailed to them.

It's so awesome and amazing.

We all need to know we matter.

These girls that I get to serve, matter!

Everyone matters to God. Period.

Some updates;

Robin was released and doing great living with family in Arizona. 

Melissa was released and now living in Georgia with her family.

Suddenly

A couple of weeks ago we heard the news of TobyMac & Amanda's son Truett Foster sudden death. It rock the Christian Music world, as it may have touched your heart too. He was only 21. And then suddenly he was gone. Tears. My prayers and Love is sent in abundance to Toby's family. 

Please pray for their family. 

As some may know that my Mom passed away 17 years ago this past September and if I am honest, I still have not got past it. What I mean is I still cry at times, I still miss her, but I just wish I could get one more hug, one more I Love you, one more talk. But I can't. Yet I still cry. 

I Love these lyrics from "When We Fall Apart" by Ryan Stevenson 

It's ok to cry

It's ok to fall apart

You don't have to try

To be strong when you are not

And it may take sometime to make sense of all your thoughts

But don't ever fight your tears

'Cause there is freedom in every drop

Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is

when we fall apart

An you've got the gift of mercy

Don't ever think it's strange

Not a curse, but it is a blessing to feel other 

people's pain

So I come to you today with everything in me to Love one another no matter what. Do all you can to be at peace with one another. When it's over it's over. Don't live with regrets. What you might be fighting about will not even matter in the bigger picture. When you die and stand before God to give an account for your life, you want to hear "well done" my good and faithful servant.  

So make sure your living today to please Him. 

Dying isn't optional. We are all going to die. 

I pray today you do what you can to be right with others.

And no matter what never ever give up on them.

If today is my last day,  please know that your Loved. 

God Loves you.  He is with you. You are never alone.

Put your trust in Him. Live to please Him only. Keep Him first no matter what.

Love Jesus with everything you got, even if you stand alone. 

Never compromise. 

Stand for Jesus even if. 

Pray like crazy.

Love madly.

Be on the right side of Suddenly.

And if no one has told you...

You are altogether Beautiful there is no flaw in you.

- Song of Solomon 4:7

Love you Dad.

This is my Dad whom I Love.

I Love you Dad.

Although the miles are between us, the Love never ends.

Thank you for being my Dad.

Thank you for all the beautiful pictures you've taken of me.

I treasure you Dad.

I think your great.

I think your strong.

I think your courageous.

I think your a kid at heart.

I like it when you smile.

I like it when you look like you know something I don't.

I do treasure your wisdom.

But more than that, no matter what I Love you Dad. 

Thank you for you. 

Your beyond awesome!

Oh and Happy Father's Day!

Well, Dad's Day, Everyday.

And I honor you.

Happy Dad's Day Daddies.

Even if you didn't have a Dad, or one that is in Heaven, and everything else...

Honor them. 

Love them.

Pray for them.

God Loves that.

Love is a Kiss like a child.

Ex. 20:12

Honor your Father and your Mother.

Matt. 15:4

Honor your Father and Mother.

Jesus

Light has come into the world.

-John 3:19

 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. 

-Luke 2:11

Merry Christmas.

Jesus is the Savor of the World. 

Christmastime is a Beautiful time as we celebrate the Birth of Christ. 

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, " which is translated, "God with us".

- Matthew 1:23

As I personally reflect on this Christmas Season, I can't help to think of how much Jesus has done for me and for you. In Romans 5:8 it says, But God demonstrates His own Love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Wow! Just Wow! When I think of how much Love Jesus has for us all to die for us it's beyond understanding. You see for me, to live is to die, like literally for Him. When I think of how He rescued me and saved me from myself with His relentless Love, I just can't help to live for Him and to give Him my everything. If you knew of someone that literally rescued you wouldn't you spend the rest of your life by their side; 

sharing, giving thanks and eager to tell everyone? 

And more importantly Loving them with all you got?

Well that's me. It's something I got to do.

If you didn't know Jesus really died for you. 

If you didn't know Jesus  really is the Son of God.

If you didn't know Jesus thinks your Beautiful.

If you didn't know Jesus thinks your Valuable.

If you didn't know Jesus thinks your Worthy.

If you didn't know Jesus thinks your Enough.

And 

Jesus Loves you like mad crazy, for real He does.

During this Christmas Season remember what it is all about, Jesus. 
Getting to hang out with your family, friends or even on your bunk with your bunkie :) 

is special, but don't forget what it's all about. 

JESUS

LOVE came down for us.

If you have never accepted Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, now is a perfect time. The Bible tells us that Today is the day of Salvation. This is a gift for you this Christmas, SALVATION. Literally all you have to do is bow your head, get on your knees, whatever works for you and ask Jesus to come into your heart. Believe with your heart that He is the Son of God (which He is, promise you by The Word of God), tell Him your sorry for your sins, and ask Him to wash you clean and that you Love Him. That you what to live for Him the rest of your days. Do this by faith. Do this from your heart. It's that simple and Jesus will come into your heart and your new life will begin with Him. 

I am so happy for you all... Heaven is rejoicing that you have accepted Jesus in your heart.

Welcome to the Family of God.

Jesus, you are the King, the King of my heart.

You are the King of Kings and The Lord of Lords and 

I Love You sooooooo much! Happy Birthday :)

   

Jesus is Calling

Happy October! My prayer is that you guys are super blessed in every way possible. 

Just a quick note letting you know that you are Loved. Seriously tho...you are! Life has been crazy and it seems like everything is sideways, and that can cause pain, tears and heartaches. But let me be the one to tell you that what you are going through Jesus is with you...and Oh how He loves you so much! Like BIG Love. You might not see Him, or even feel Him at times, but trust me He is with you. We all go through different seasons from smiles to sorrows and everything in between. Even so...He is with you! Trust me if you can see how special you are, how He died for you, then you would know without a doubt He Loves you! So no worries...please don't worry...cast your cares on the Lord, why? Because He Loves you and He will see you through. You might be sitting around all kinds of evil or decisions wondering where will I go when I'm released?! Give it ALL to God! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will direct your steps. The pain you are feeling isn't nothing in comparison to the joy that is coming. People will let you down, they will hurt you, they will let go, but Jesus will never let you go. He Loves you so much...like no matter what. 

If you've never given your heart to Jesus..today is the day of Salvation..right where your at you can simply pray by telling Jesus you believe in Him, that your sorry for all the bad things you've done and to forgive you..ask Him to come into your heart and that you want to live for Him. He has been waiting for you..so do it. There isn't anything more important in your life than making this decision..and besides you will get to spend eternity with Him in Heaven! 

Life is going to be hard, and other times not so hard, but by putting your Love and life into a relationship with Jesus it will be amazingly awesome! 

Let go..and give your life to Jesus and why not?..He did died for you. 

For me I will live for Him because He Loves me and literally died for me even when I was sinner..what relentless Love! 

You are bountifully beautiful, worthy, enough and treasured...so smile and embrace Jesus..

He is waiting.

In closing if your life is sideways or upside down, just know it doesn't matter..come as you are..broken, blessed, beautiful and everything in between..

Just come!

The Love of the Light

I am the light of the world. 
He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. - Jesus 
John 8:12

December is a beautiful month celebrating the birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ. It is also a very hard time for many that have lost family and friends and those who are alone. Let's not us forget them and pray for God's Love to be upon them during this time. 

As we approach the closing of a year into the New Year lets reflect on all the memories and moments we had. May we always seek to Love the Lord with all our hearts. May we always be obedient to His Word and to things He calls us to do.  May we embrace the New Year with gladness for all God has done in our lives and still yet to do. 

God Loves you so much.

For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. -John 3:16

That is the gift, The Love of the Light... Jesus!

Praying you have a very Blessed Christmas & New Year.

But First She Prayed

“When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. 

And if I perish, I perish." Esther 4:15

These are the very courageous words of the Queen of Persia, Esther, as she prepared to approach a very young, inexperienced and emotional King Xerxes to plead with him to stop the TOTAL annihilation of the Jewish people. If the king was in a bad mood that day, he could have her killed instantly, even though she was Queen, and more importantly, his bride. What courage this must have taken, what a magnificent statement of faith Queen Esther displayed as she unselfishly prepared to sacrifice her life for her people.

Do you know that the Name of God is NOT mentioned anywhere in the story of Esther in the Bible, yet we see such magnificent evidence of HIS Hand all over the story. And the greatest evidence that we see of His mercy and grace in Esther, the absolute beauty of what we call “Reversal of Destiny”.

 

In Esther, we are given a close up look at the ongoing struggle of satan against the purposes of God and especially against His promised Messiah. The birth of Christ into the human race was totally dependent upon the existence of the Jewish race. Just as Haman plotted against the Jews in order to destroy them, so has satan set himself against Christ and God’s people. Just as Haman is defeated on the gallows he built for Mordecai, so does Christ use the very weapon that his enemy devised to destroy Him and His spiritual seed. For the cross, by which satan planned to destroy the Messiah, was the very means through which Christ “having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross” Colossians 2:14-15

Haman was hanged on the gallows he built for Mordecai, 

so the devil was crushed by the cross he erected to destroy Christ.

Esther proved to have a godly and very humble spirit that also showed great strength and willing obedience. Esther’s humility was very different from those around her, 

and this caused her to be elevated into the position of queen.

Woman everywhere would do well to emulate her godly attitudes in all areas of life, but especially in trials. Not once is there a complaint or bad attitude exposed in the Book of Esther. Many times we read she won the "favor" of those around her. This “favor” is what ultimately saved her people. We can be given such favor as we accept even unfair persecution and follow Esther’s example of maintaining a positive attitude, coupled with humility and the determination to lean on and fully trust in God.

So, in closing, it does not matter whether in prison or the free world, Jew or Gentile, white or black, rich or poor. We are all placed here to show love, grace, mercy, humility and unselfishness to ALL people, regardless of our circumstance, regardless of the cost!

Who knows but maybe God has placed YOU in such a position, for just such a time as this?
