    The New Journey

    Today I embark upon a few new journey’s. I will be doing a weekly series of Youtube videos to encourage everyone in the morning to start and finish. I posted my weekly article on Adam Smith’s blog 6 Ways to Overcome Doubt and I realized just how many of us struggle with doubt, fear and faith.

    The Youtube videos will hopefully encourage you all live with purpose, peace and focus regarding your dreams. I don’t believe that I have all the answers but I can encourage you in the areas that I have triumphed and that I am personally fighting through.

    We will also be recording a video for this summer’s mission trips fundraisers that I will be apart of. My church is going back to Haiti to continue to build HTCF international church and a clinic. We are also going to Paris for a prayer missions’s trip. When we went to Haiti in February I was overwhelmed by God’s love for people. I look forward to sharing these journey’s with you and if you are partnering with me in any form of financially.

    I promise to share more of my life with you all through my faith, family and business. We are taking part in some incredible ventures and I have failed to document it on the blog. That ends today!

    Let the Light In

    This week has been an amazing experience of grace and knowing that God’s heart is to fix broken people and things. I am broken and everyone knows it. You are as well. That’s the crazy thing about life is that we are all broken but those that realize they are broken and open up to being fixed by the Holy Spirit in fellowship are the ones that win at life.

    I want to win at life. The times that I have not won at life are the times that I crawl into this little space and run from my faith. I’ve started to pray some crazy prayers.

    • Jesus expose my darkness
    • Holy Spirit talk to me
    • Jesus fix me

    I am very aware that I’m dirty. That’s never been the issue but I don’t understand the magnitude of my filth and I want to. I won’t condemn myself but I will praise Him that He loves me enough to send honest people into my life that aren’t moved by my talents or anything else to tell me the truth about me.

    I want to know the truth. I want to know where I fall short so that I can stand back up. This process won’t be easy but it will be worth it. I ask a lot of guest on the show what their biggest struggles are often. Today I asked myself that question. My biggest struggle is me. I have lived a life full of trials and those trials often create walls and I need those walls to fall down. The great thing about Jesus is that He looks at your issues and says, “I knew all of that and I still love you”. He sent this amazing person called the Holy Spirit to dwell inside of me to help me with these issues.

    Daily we are all being made to look like Him if we yield to the process. Open Up and let the light in.

    ChristinaFaith.com Update- More to Come

    I took a step back from blogging last month to breath a bit and work on the issues of my heart. The amazing thing about God is that He is so concerned about us that He wants us to be healed from past wounds (mainly my childhood). I desire to be a world changing entrepreneur who uses her resources for God’s agenda and it is that desire that created the podcast, blog and new things we will be rolling out. I’ve struggled with being unashamed on this platform but I won’t any longer. Some days you will get things related to entrepreneurship and other days I will simply share what God is doing in my life, others and the world. Thank you all so much for your support. The podcast is still doing great! The site is still scaling and we are still moving forward. I look forward to growing with you.
