Supporting a Great Ministry

Life Model Works is accepting end of the year donations which are tax deductible through Shepherd's House ministry.  

One donor has offered to match up to $15,000 so any amount you contribute before the end of the year will be doubled.  
Learning what it means to do fellowship and to mature in Christ are two of the many things I appreciate about this ministry.  I am happy to be a part of their donors team and am elated to see them expanding their work and looking forward to much more in 2019.

Reality & Me

Reality has been my battlefield for a while now.  For five years at least I've been facing the lurking crud. Though it's terrified me I have gotten to a new place...my "now" place. 

I BELIEVE good things are ahead.  I've faced the junk handed down and blasted at me from all sides.  I've held my own while seated in heavenly places.  I learned to stand firm.

I've gotten help and backup from some extrordinarily unordinary heros who've held the lines of truth while I trudged into the messes.  They've BEEN THERE, reminding me who I am and to Whom I belong, when I had only dingy hope and was a disoriented ragamuffin.

The truth?

Well, I'm nearly to a place where I can tell you about it...and this video, along with the processes of becoming a person (and so many others), fills me with SO much hope. 

I'm nearly at the end of the battlefield.  I've kept my innards attuned to the Capitan while my soul took a back seat to both. Mission vague and details unknown I have fought and bravely won many trials.

The worst- not knowing who I was- is now behind me.  The work of learning who I truly am, while letting go of all which so easily ensnared me, begins.

From the trenches & nearly there,
Kate

Who Decides the Definitions? It REALLY Matters!

I deeply enjoyed this delicious & intellectual conversation, which in my opinion gets to the root and heart of what concerns me the most: actual liberty and real freedoms within my Republic rather than The Ignorant Arrogant attempting and so far succeeding to change and run the show around here. Enough is enough. To the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob be the glory.

Free Online Video Course from Deeper Walker International

Are you interested in learning more about discipleship?  

I remember during my stint in bible college, when we looked at the way Jesus interacted with those around Him.  It completely changed my paradigm about discipleship and ruined what I had been taught for years.

Now, Deeper Walk International is hosting a free course explaining the foundations of heart-based discipleship.  It looks GREAT and I hope to dive in soon.

Please feel free to enjoy the 8 video lessons, download the PDF workbook or purchase the course DVD.

Blessings as you continue on your journey!

Authority Over Whom?

The article below has been so insightful.  

I so appreciate tools and tips to help me walk with more integrity in my relationships. How many times have I gotten frustrated with myself because I have the vertical thing going with my kids? How many times have I been dumbfounded being "put" into this with a parent (i am a grown woman after all). I believe often even my Maker relates with me on a horizontal level!  

Yes, I suppose with type a and b traumas (from babyhood on) there are issues to deal with in order to function as I ought. I get triggered when someone comes at me in the vertical way, or when I incorrectly perceive they have that win/loose mind frame (or maybe I'm perceiving that's the only option...it makes me very cranky!!!) I remember being outraged in school (or anywhere) when I was treated like I was at the bottom and someone else was at the top. Even as a kid it put me immediately in a very rigid and not-so-helpful state.

Having language which this article kindly provides will help me do the work I need to get my innards lined up with the horizontal ways of relating. I so appreciate this barbell word picture! Now to add it to my bag of things I'm working on.  

I had no idea how many problems (resistance built in to keep me from acting like myself) I had inwardly!!! 😜😝🤔🙄  

I'm so grateful for help whenever I need it.
