I’ just watched Kristi on Better Together. Wanted more. What she is saying about all the happenings, the tornadoes, covid, etc. and not wanting to go numb, if not wanting to let herself hid under a rock, really resounded with me. For that is exactly what I have let myself di. I had an EF3 tornado to tear my home up in 2016, then there was that Easter Sunday she’s talking about! I live 30 min from Chatt Tenn. See where I’m going?! I survived, neighbors did not. Then within a year, while not having a home, I’m given a devastating medical diagnosis. And then, there was all the other big stuff🥴🥴 All to say, yea, I went totally numb and yes, I’m still under a rock!!! In speaking! But through this, my relationship with my Father has grown. I have learned more from His Word, as bd He is teaching me the truths of His love for me. He is slowly and kindly bringing me back into the world of the living😁It’s something, when healthy, and everything was going great, I didn’t take time for Him a lot. Yes, I was always at church, rarely missed. But I was very busy. Never did I know him like I now do. Never did I know His perfect love like I do now. Sometimes, like the children of Israel, we have to go a wondering in the ‘wilderness’, before we will get still, and quite enough to hear what He is saying to us. There is a verse, that although it was not like one of my more favorite verses, but it has come to mean more to me than I can explain, and it helped to save my life during the tornado. (A wonderful story in of itself of Gods care!) Psalms 46:10 Be Still, and Know That I Am God. God bless everyone🙏🙏🙏❣️❣️

[@moneghan6]

This is good 👍

[@cindyshaver3432]

I ♥️♥️♥️All of Christi’s teaching! I hope she finishes her next Bible Study!

[@all4mopar5]

I've got no one. My husband doesn't understand.

[@Cjg9051-n8u]

This is not Biblical teaching

[@nicksanders9148]

we are all one in christ, so i would say maybe you are the one who is wrong.

[@brandon-brit2005]

Statement without explanation is mere rambling. Who are you that gives you the authoritative power to speak to what is or is not biblical? From whence did you obtain your theological degree?

[@fmpdena]

If you're going to say this isn't biblical teaching, then please share WHY. Simply commenting that it's not biblical is not enough if you're actually accurate... If you truly believe its not biblical, then please help us see why. If you won't do that, then just keep scrolling.

I don’t know which part of what Kristi said you don’t agree with. I’ve already texted one time, because I had been through times such as she has just gone through. What I’m fixing to text you is only through my concern and care for you. Not trying to be a know-it-all either. I was a teacher of Gods word for years, so I get what she is trying to get across. The first part was Kristi telling about the going through the terrible storms. In my other text, I spoke about loosing my home in 2016, then going through the other storms that hit Chatt Tenn on April 12,2020 and surrounding areas and Miss and several other states on Easter Sunday. The tornado that tore up my house in 2016 hit in December. I had went through so many devastating traumas. I had lost my mom and dad through cancer, a long and terrible time, this was after my 30 year old husband had survived testicular and lymph node cancer. Then within a year of loosing my home I learning I had leukemia. I did exactly what Kristi was saying. I about totally shut down. I went numb. I shut myself away from almost everyone, the opposite of what I needed. I told in the other text how God gently brought me up out of my darkness is is still in the process of healing me. So many have been through worse. And the Bible speaks of those who are depressed and in dark places because of their heart trials. King David for instance. Many of the Psalms that was written by David are laments that came out of times of great distress and trouble. He cries out unashamedly for Gods help, for salvation, for rescue. They are not pretty poetic poetry, but show his distress and fears. At times it seems to David that all was lost. We face times like these in life, just like Kristi was speaking of. Times when we are beyond praying. When we just want to hide from those who have hurt us, and yes, even from the weather! The weather can be terrifying, just ask anyone in Mayfield Kentucky. But David comes through these times of lament with hope and praise. Read Psalm 40; Psalm 80; Ps 69, to name a few. Then there’s Jeremiah, tge great prophet, who is also known as “The weeping prophet”.He was deeply discouraged over his peoples rejection of God. He was tortured and killed for his teaching and preaching of what God told him to. The apostle Paul. In 2 corinthians1, Paul tells us of his great suffering and those with him. That they were burdened beyond measure, above strenght, so much so that they despaired even of life. It is not against God, nor is it un-Bibical to go through such trials that you dispair, that you can become very depressed, that you can shut yourself away. But for Gods children there is always a way out. He helps us get to the place we cry out to him, just like those in the Bible, and He will always be there, to strengthen us, to help us out of our”miry clay”. Jesus despaired so heavily in the garden of Eden that His sweat became as drops of blood. Jesus Christ knows us, has an unique understanding of us. This brings us to the second part of what Kristi was saying. Our God is not some some Celestial way off god as in other ‘religions’. He is not a god like in Greek mythology who sets on his throne oand cares nothing about us but to control us to do his bidding! No!!! He is The God, who loves us so much that He was willing to send His only begotten Son to earth to live among us, as all God, yet all human at the same time! And to suffer horribly and to give His life willingly for us, so that we would not have to be the ones to do the suffering.
