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.

Love Is Jesus

He is despised and rejected by men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him: He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows: Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter; And as a sheep before it's shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth, He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked-But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When you make His soul an offering for sin. Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin or many, And made intercession for the transgressors.  

- Isaiah 53:3-10, 12. 

Did you know that Jesus really does Love you? Did you know that Jesus Loves your face? Did you know that Jesus died for you? Did you know that even while you were still a sinner He really like really died for you? I'm sure you might think how that could be? I once thought that too. But Jesus really died for you. No matter how you feel, Jesus Loves you. It doesn't matter what you've done, or how you feel. You might find yourself in a prison cell or in the free world, it so doesn't matter, He Loves you just the same. Even when you feel words like these: depressed, sad, alone, help me, suicidal, tired, hurt, betrayed, insecure, ugly, fat, broken, angry, afraid, fearful, failure, shameful, scared, numb, sinking, useless, unwanted, damaged, misunderstood, sold out, burnt out, weary, worrying, abandoned, forgotten, not enough, rejected, grief, broken, lied about, and the list can go on and on! But every word you can think of that describes how you might be feeling, Jesus bore that for you. This is Love. Jesus Is Love. Jesus says, you are beautiful, beloved, blessed, valuable, treasured, cherished, sacred, accepted, lovely, His bride, you matter, incredible, unique, one of a kind, His poem, enough, complete, masterpiece, breathtaking, wonderfully made, fruitful, amazing, awesome, cool, and the list goes on and on! 

If you don't know Jesus or you have fallen away from Him, today is your day to come to Him. It's really simple. All you have to do is Believe in your heart, confess with your mouth that you, Believe He is the Son of God, that He died for your sin. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins, like truly repent of them, give it all to Him. Jesus I am a sinner, please forgive me. I want to turn away from my sin, I ask you to come into my heart and lead my life. I want to follow you. In your own words, just share your heart with Him. He Loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. I promise, if you really take a step of faith and believe, Jesus will come into your heart. 

And the cool thing, your eternity is settled, you will live in Heaven forever and ever. 

His banner over me is Love. - Song of Songs 2:4 

Say it! Believe it! Live it! 

You are outrageously Loved.

How Beautiful you are. - Song of Songs 4:1

Love Never Fails like Ever! Jesus Loves you.

Love Is Jesus.

Happy November

November is known as the month that we give thanks and reflect on what we are thankful for.  As we take that time to reflect, lets remember that no matter what we go through we can always give thanks. 

God Loves us all so much. 

His Love endures Forever. 

He is always worthy of our praise. 

He is always with us.

Have a Beautiful and Blessed Thanksgiving. 

You are Loved.

The Piece

Love Never Fails

1 Corinthians 13.8

Have you ever did a puzzle? 
Like have you ever did one and towards the end you were like where is the last piece? 
Oh wow...its missing! 

The puzzle although beautiful in it's own way, it's not complete. How do you find that piece? Obviously if you were actually doing a puzzle you would either 
leave it that way or return it for the same puzzle with all the pieces. 
But I'm talking about you, when you feel that a piece is missing in you what do you do?

Let me save you a whole lot of time by telling you that piece is found in Jesus. It's not found in anything but Him. I believe when we fully surrender our lives to Jesus and make Him not just Savior but Lord we find that piece. It is in Him. That piece is Jesus...True Love...like crazy Love. He becomes your First Love. When we are filled with Jesus Love we can pour that into others hence fulfilling what Jesus Himself spoke in Matthew 22 37 to Love God and others. 
Are you praying to meet someone in your pursuit to Love God? 

Do it with fearless faith.

He will direct your path to meet that beautiful person who He created you to be with. With selfless faith God will call you to step up to the call, but don't give up because what He calls He equips. 
True Love never ends... endures through it all and never fails. 

Some of you will be walking back into the free world after many years, it's so important to keep your mind on things above, and keep it set. You must at all cost put God first in everything. Oh how Jesus Loves you and wants the best for your life. He is madly in Love with you...like crazy Love. You are so incredibly special to Him and you matter. God's best will Love you unconditionally, be true to you, and will never give up on you. Like never Ever. They will draw you closer to Jesus, so wait...
wait on the one who will Love you Forever. 

Wait on The Lord, He will show you 
beyond beautiful things 
through His amazing Grace. 
Your going to make it.
 I Believe in you. 

And Jesus is gonna Love til you Believe.

So So Sweetly Broken

O Lord God you satisfy my soul. In you I have found peace, joy and your true Love. You take me to places unknown within the depths of my heart and I rejoice with tears. 

I am so so sweetly broken. 

I will speak of your goodness all the days of my life. 

I Love you God more than I know how to express.

I know that you will see me through all the pain in all your beautiful ways and 

I so trust you.  

I am thankful.

Thank you Jesus for dying for me,  so I can live. No matter what comes my way, I know your Love. My desires will always be to bring you glory, and I pray that you use my life for that.  I will share your Grace, your Mercy and most importantly your Love with others all the days of my life. You are my everything and until I am called home to see you face to face, I will give you everything I have. To lay me down, and do whatever you call me to. 

Oh Jesus, I Love you SO SO MUCH and thank you. 

I write this because some of you know the life changes that have taken place in my life in the last year or so. I just needed to share that no matter what you go through that God is with you. God is crazy in Love with you and He will see you through whatever storms you go through in this life. I am living proof that He can even Love someone like me. But the crazy thing He Loves us all, no matter what. So whatever you are going through today, or facing, I want you to know that not only God Loves you, but He has great plans for your life. 

Never Give Up!

Love You Jesus

Today I was blessed to see sky writing in my back yard. 

I captured the above picture and it was beyond beautiful. 

I just want to say I Love You Jesus and thank you for everything.

I am yours forever.

Surrender40 Ministries

Ecclesiastes 3.14

I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever.

Hey Guys..Trachena here. Just as quick update to let you know that Pink Love Ministries has been taking on all the outreaches that Surrender40 had been doing for years. It's been 6 months since I've posted anything about Surrender40, but many changes have happened in the seen and unseen. Yet there is still more to come. 

On Christmas Eve 2008 at Calvary Kendall God had spoke to my heart and gave me the name Surrender40 and said "feed my sheep". As many of you know since that time it's been all about Jesus and serving others in Love. One thing I never could fully answer to everyone that would asked me, "What does "Surrender40" mean? Over the years I've thought what it could mean, I've asked, I've prayed, but it wasn't until last year I heard someone speak on the meaning of the number 40. After that I did some research and sought God and He showed and confirmed the reasons to me. Although there are many reasons, it's about times of testing. We all will have those times, we don't have to be homeless, sick in a hospital or even in prison. We can simply be overwhelmed by all the things that life throws at us. God showed me in recent days through another that regardless of our circumstances we must surrender to really live out the life God has called us to. His plans are best. His Love fails not. His ways are perfect. I am thankful for the all God has done over the last 9.5 years. I want to personally thank everyone who stepped up and was the hands and feet of Jesus in helping. Many lives have been touched for His glory. I'm so overwhelmed with gratitude.  

The final chapter of Surrender40 will soon come to an end and a new name and vision will be birthed. He makes all things beautiful in His time. I will come to you again by the end of the year. In the meantime, Pink Love will continue reaching out in whatever areas God calls. 

In closing, wherever you find yourself today in confinement or just hangin out with your bunky, my prayer is that you would surrender to Jesus. It is only in Jesus you will find Freedom, Love, Peace, Joy and complete fullness in your life. 

I love you guys and I'm thankful for you. 

You are treasured and Loved beyond any words I could express. 

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Light..seek Him always. 

And if nobody told you today...

You are Beautiful.   

You Are VALUABLE

You Are VALUABLE

You Are SPECIAL

You MATTER

Just because someone can't see your worth, doesn't mean you are not valuable. 

You are valuable to God.

Psalm 139

1-You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.

2-You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3-You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4-Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.

5-You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.

6-Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7-Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8-If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9-If I rise on wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10-even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

11-If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"

12-even the darkness will not be dark to you; 

the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

13-For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14-I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 

your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

15-My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

16-Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were 

written in your book before one of them came to be.

17-How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!

18-Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand-

when I awake, I am still with you.

19-If only you, God would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!

20-They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.

21-Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?

22-I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.

23-Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24-See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

You Are Incredibly Made by The Maker of Heaven And Earth.

Rejoice!

You Are Beautifully Unique And Bountifully Loved.
