DAY 23…SQUEEZED

DAY 23 with Teresa Ann:

SQUEEZED

Slowly coming out of my sleep from last night into the realm of waking up to today, I heard in my spirit a song,“You’re a good, good Father, it’s who YOU are, it’s who YOU are, it’s who YOU are and I am loved by you…”

As I grabbed my phone to play the song by Chris Tomlin, these words were highlighted,

“It’s the tender whisper of love in the dead of night and you tell me that you’re pleased and that I’m never alone, it’s who YOU are…”

“Oh I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide but I know we’re all searching for answers YOU provide; because YOU know what we need before we even say a word. YOU are perfect in all of YOUR ways.

Oh it’s love so undeniable I can hardly speak, peace so unexplainable I can hardly think as YOU call me deeper still and to love. You’re a good, good Father.“

As I listened, I then thought, “What did the writer of this song experience in this life that would cause these words to be crushed out of him. It then reminded me of the fullness of a grapes purpose – to actually know that the grape has lived out it’s full potential is not when it is eaten off the vine; instead the grape has lived out it’s full potential when it is finally crushed. In these times of seeming crushing; the evidence of what’s being squeezed, shows where we get to surrender even more to the LORD.

He was ministering to me today as I saw my own moments of being squeezed. Did more of me come flowing out of that situation or was there only evidence of HIM? Wow! Whatever wasn’t of HIM, simply shows me what I get to surrender to HIM, yet again. It’s a dance with HIM. No condemnation; just a dance to come even closer. His invitation so gentle causing us to want more of HIM.

Think about this. Ponder for a moment. People who hurt you. They were here physically here within our moments of time and space and yet were absent; lost in their own world of pain and brokenness. They couldn’t get out of their pain; grown adults stuck as children within the crevices of their mind of past experiences; like a maze that they couldn’t get out of. Outside of the maze was their world that they couldn’t get to.

We get to be the ones who help people out of the terrifying mazes of life and reveal they have a good, good Father. Let’s shine no matter what darkness is doing and let’s add great flavor to point others back to the Father so that they can taste and see that HE is so good!

REFLECTION OF THE WORD WITH HOLY SPIRIT:

Luke 15; Romans 8:15; Matthew 5:11-16

LET’S TALK:

  • When situations happen that are out of your control, what comes squeezing out of you?
  • Does it make you rejoice that evidences of HIM have flowed forth OR do you walk in condemnation when you realize what’s still inside?
  • Instead of feeling bad, begin rejoicing that it’s coming out. The infection is surfacing. See the infection as this is where GOD wants to deliver and heal you from those situations into HIMSELF. Are you beginning to see parts of yourself that still need to be surrendered to the LORD?
  • More than anything, do you see HIM as your GOOD, GOOD FATHER? No matter how raw it may feel, are you able to describe what you’re experiencing in HIM at this moment?

    What a way to draw attention to the words of a song that I have a thousand times. It was brought back to life for me!

    I used to feel such condemnation when making mistakes or reacting in a not so good way when being pressed. But now I thank God for those situations because He reveals to me so much! My errors are highlighted so I may learn how to grow and what areas I am still weak in. It’s an opportunity to allow God to work in me. And that is exciting because it means I’m becoming more of who He has called me to be!

      Gennessa! Oh I’m so glad that this has brought more freedom! Don’t you love how HE does and sees things! HE sees from victory not from defeat! He is not only HOPEFUL in us; HE Is full of faith toward us! HIS Love reveals that for sure!!! He desires us to come out so HE can come in even more! Wow! Thank you for sharing Gennessa! I love you so much!

    I love this perspective. “Instead of feeling bad, begin rejoicing that it’s coming out.” It’s easy to get caught up in condemnation and fall through that emotional spiral, but as I press in more and more, I’m learning to repent, forgive myself and that my God is bigger than my situation and loves me no matter what I do. He is a Good, Good Father.

This picture was taken on February 15th...At first This picture was taken on February 15th...At first my thoughts ran with the cliche that this “Diabetes Ketoacidosis” diagnosis was a HEALTH SCARE! But then as Holy Spirit would, HE changed my perspective...this was not a health scare, instead it was an awakening to Who He must be in my life, even with my body and how I eat and exercise. It was an awakening to His revelation that I am a steward of my body and to love God with how I treat myself and in turn I will love myself as it honors Him to do so. 
•
•
•
Diabetes is not mine; but the diagnosis reminded me that HEALTH is mine, and I GET TO choose it with my everyday decisions. 
•
•
•
When I do everything I know to do and it still doesn’t get better, that’s one thing, but at least I know I did my part. 
•
•
•
The biggest thing was to realize when my blood sugar level was 946 upon my ER visit, they were dumbfounded that I was coherent and didn’t look sick at all. It showed me, WOW! Look how strong God made my body. It was fighting to LIVE more than I was - how much More will it work for me when I do my part and help my body!? 
•
•
•
It reminds me of the scripture, “You shall live and not die and DECLARE the glory of God.” - Psalm 118:17
•
•
•
It’s difficult at times to realize these life slaps wake us up to what is rightfully ours and that is getting to do everything in life as worship! Worship stirs gratefulness of heart and a divine appreciation for what has been given to us.

We are learning that God’s Grace is not just a moment of empowerment - it’s a moment to see the God Who empowers! 
•
•
•
Grace is not something given outside of God; instead it is powerfully an experience to do that moment with God, much like being a witness of what He will do through us as we say YES to Him when everything around us says to say, “No!”
•
•
•
Someone asked us the other day why we gave our daughter Tristin the middle name “Keelea” (Kē-Lee).
•
•
•
It is a cute story as I had met a girl during my pregnancy who was a California girl, and her name was Keeley. In addition to meeting her, I also noticed a popular surfer model in the late 90’s who had dark hair and dark eyes and I just knew our daughter would favor her. 
•
•
Well, it’s funny as Trissy’s love for the water isn’t like it used to be, nor having a desire to be a beach girl - but one thing is for sure, that I can vouch for is this:
•
•
•
Tristin Keelea looks at the mighty waves as something not to fear, but to surf and ride with God’s Grace - and wow does her life radiate such truth?  She refuses to let fear grip her as she knows it won’t only hinder her but also stops her from pointing others to the Father as well. It’s truly a ripple effect. 
•
•
•
In both ways...there’s a ripple effect of fear and there is one of faith...so she has clearly chosen the ripple effect of faith; not just in things to go better; but to have faith in the God Who gifted her with Who He is! Oh how she loves Him - and she makes me want to know God more in a deeper and more vast way! She causes me to look at trouble as a wave to ride with God - now that is perspective I want all of my days. How about you?

•
BUT GOD...
•
•
•
After the car accident the medical diagnosis was Tristin may not have mobility on her left side for 6 months to never. 
•
•
•
BUT GOD...she began to have movement on the 7th day. Minimal but the miraculous movement in her left hand was a HUGE miracle as she was led to speak to her left side and it listened!
•
•
•
After 3 surgeries from one of the best trauma surgeons who did all the things on her left leg, from Titanium rods and screws to bone grafting.
•
•
•
The rehabilitation with amazing speech, occupational, and physical therapists - it has been a journey of seeing how God takes what was meant for harm and turn it around for His glory. 
•
•
With all that said, Trissy has “graduated” to a cane. And her physical therapist who has become like family, found the cat cane! Isn’t this so appropriate? lol!
•
•
•
We are so grateful to God for His ministering of His heart toward Trissy as she has learned of the faithfulness of God in ways she never imagined. She has even said, the accident is not my story; it’s part of my story that points to God. He is good and even if He took me home to be with Him, He is still good! Wow! 
•
•
•
Thank you all for your continued prayers and love for our Trissy, your Trissy! We love you all!

•

•
Wellington is like a God kiss, a therapy of sorts and he loves doing life with her! Oh...and he tries so hard to help her, but he’s learning that she is doing so much better and healing so well. He too gets to see the love of God over Trissy. 
•
•
•
Although there is more physical and occupational therapy to go through for the purpose of training her properly in how to walk, grasp and hold things, training with posture - it’s incredible...so getting to have this time with Wellington and Snoopy (Not pictured) is a therapy like none other! Lol!

Our response to darkness is to keep shining. Keep doing our part. Keep partnering with God IN CHRIST to do what only He can do through us.
