Two Days and Counting …

CHOOSE JOY 

For two years, Diane lived with a man who was an emotionally and physically abusive alcoholic. She finally escaped from the relationship and went to live in a shelter for abused women, but the abuse had rendered her a broken, battered mess – inside and out.

Her exterior wounds healed, but all his harsh, critical words had buried deep in her mind, leaving her feeling hurt, resentful, and worthless. She struggled with strong feelings of hatred toward this man who had broken her heart and her spirit. As a result, she became bitter towards all men, even her own brothers, as anger and negativity poisoned her mind. She was afraid to get close to or trust anyone, even God, and feeling the blessing of joy seemed a lost gift, impossible to find or feel again.

But after six weeks of intense counseling with godly mentors and teachers in the shelter, Diane moved in with loving family members and slowly began to heal as God helped her put the pieces of her heart and her life back together. Diane began reading scripture and spending a lot of time in prayer, and after having been back at church for several months, she heard a powerful sermon about forgiveness which stirred her soul. She practically ran to the altar when the message was over, asking the pastor to pray her heart would soften towards her abuser and for God to give her the strength and ability to truly forgive. Although it didn’t happen instantaneously, Diane’s heart did soften over time and she eventually realized she had to let go of all those feelings of hatred and unforgiveness and let God fill the empty spaces where deep rooted negativity had been living.

The shame, hurt, resentment and anger Diane carried against her abuser were only weighing her heart and attitude down, not her abuser’s. They were robbing her of her joy, not robbing the abuser of his. She had inadvertently allowed her abuser to hold the key to her joy, and she finally decided to take the key back, so she could be in charge of her happiness and her life once and for all.

Diane’s choice to forgive is a beautiful picture of what it looks like to be set free from the anchors that hold us captive and pull us into the deep. She let go of the anchor of negativity, and grabbed hold of  the anchor of hope God was offering. She made an intentional choice to choose joy and invite God to transform her thinking, and in turn he transformed her life around too.

Diane began to look forward to each new day, instead of dreading it. She became excited to be with new friends, learned to trust people again, and allowed herself to believe there were good Christian men in this world. One of those men helped her embrace her value in Christ and Diane is now happily married to him! When Diane forgave the unforgivable, she broke free of the bondage of hatred and stopped the poison of negativity that had been coursing through her veins. When she made the decision to let go of her negative thoughts – even though she was fully jsutified in having them – the stronghold of negativity broke and she anchored her heart in God instead, opening the door for God’s peace to finally take up full residence in her heart, and for happiness and joy to fill her days.

Diane’s story is only one of many I share in Unsinkable Faith, of women who invited God to transform their hearts and minds and who implemented the 3 steps into their lives, and who have experienced radical life change as a result. I am confident you’ll find all their stories inspiring and hopefully will glean motivation to invite God to start writing a new story in your new life too!

We all have people who have hurt us or situations which have left us feeling broken. We all struggle with similar feelings from time to time as Diane did – strong feelings that keep us stuck in negativity and steal our joy.  So if we truly long to feel joy in our lives, despite our circumstances or the heavy burdens we carry, we have to let go of negative thoughts, and intentionally choose joy instead.

The choices we make today lay the foundation of what life will be like tomorrow. If we want a future filled with peace and joy and unsinkable faith, we first have to determine what we need to do today to make that a reality.

    If I win two copies of Unsinkable Faith and the two anchor key-chains,
    I would give the extra set to my friend Joi (whom I have never met in person but got to know through a mutual friend on Facebook) because she has suffered for years with PTSD, depression, anxiety after she experienced a HORRIBLE tragedy. It has taken 5 years of ‘drawing’ her out, including her in conversations, funny jokes, daily laughter, as well as Scriptures, and has culminated into such a deep friendship where we now have prayer sessions together, (different states, different time zones), but Joi has experienced God’s amazing healing and supernatural peace – and has now rejoined life fully and is developing a loving relationship with God. I am so thankful for her and so thrilled – she knows all things are possible with God.

    I would give the extra set to my sister-in-law because she needs to discover that she needs to quit living in fear of others.

It causes her a great amount of anxiety and to not fulfill the life her and my brother want to live.

    If I I win two copies of Unsinkble Faith, I would hive one copy to my older sister who has gone through so much in her 57 years of life and has become bitter and negative. I really think this would open her eyes to the fact that it’s her thoughts, unfirgiveness and lack of faith in His Word that has kept her in a prison. I’d love to see her set free and not become an angry and bitter old woman.

    I would give the extra set to my very best friend and sister in CHRIST Sharlene because if anyone has “Unsinkable Faith” it would be her. She has battled lupus for years and all of the side effects that goes along with it; recently she has had to deal with extremely low blood pressure that pretty much has her side lined and yet she still fulfills doing the things that she loves. Despite all of her health issues she still has the faith that so many that love her wish we had, even if it is just a portion of.

  21. Daphne Locklar on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 9:32 am

    If I win two copies of Unsinkable Faith and two anchor key chains, I would give the extra set to my Best Friend. She has been a child of God her entire life, extremely strong in her faith and a strong spiritual mentor for me. Throughout her life she has gone through many trials and tribulations, trusting God completely every step of the way, or so one would think listening to her talk. If you really get to know her and peel back her layers you would realize she struggles with completely letting go and letting God.



  22. Sahron on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 9:33 am

    If I win two copies of Unsinkable Faith and the two anchor keychains, I’m not sure who I would give the extra set to, but I’d love the opportunity to have to make that decision!



  23. Tracey on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 9:44 am

  25. Marsha Scott on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 9:56 am

    If I won these books and beautiful anchor chains, I would give one to a special friend. She’s gone through a divorce and is bitter toward her ex. He has moved on from the harm he’s caused her, but she’s stuck in the past and can’t seem to recover and start living or finding joy. And April 1st is my birthday, so it would be awesome!



  26. Shelly on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 9:57 am

    If I win two copies of Unsinkable Faith and the two anchor keychains,
    I would give the extra set to Hope, because she is struggling with letting go of hatred and forgiving those who wrong her (or others).

    **Personal experience note: my situation was similar to Diane’s at one point in my life. After years, I learned to forgive my abuser. But it took a couple more years before I realized I also had to forgive MYSELF. That was huge, and should be shared with women everywhere! Forgiving yourself is just as important as forgiving others, in order to move out of that bondage.



  27. Rachel K on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 9:59 am

    If I win two copies of Unsinkable Faith and the two anchor keychains,

She suffered a wrist injury that forced her to change her career focus. She was in a long term relationship that ended at the same time her career focus was forced to change. She is a wonderful support to many friends but I think she struggles at times watching them find their life partners and often feels that she is floundering.

We have faith everyday, but there are days when we all could use a little more Unsinkable Faith!!!



  59. Karol on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 6:28 pm

    If I win two copies, I would give one (and a keychain 🙂 ) to a friend whose marriage is on the verge of falling apart. We still hope and pray that God will turn things around miraculously, and my friend has been really faithful in this long difficult journey, so I think she could really use the encouraging message of this friend.



  60. Jill B. on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 6:46 pm

    If I win two copies of Unsinkable Faith and the two anchor keychains,
    I would give the extra set to my friend, Samantha, because we have “mother” issues. We joke about how our moms must be related because they act exactly the same, but the truth is, our mothers have hurt, betrayed, frustrated, and belittled us our entire lives. And pretty much every encounter we have with them, we have to make an intentional effort not to add anything to the list in our heads that the enemy wants us to keep since love doesn’t keep a record of wrongs. This book is something we both need to read.



  61. Janet on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 6:54 pm

    I would give my extra copy to my friend crystal who was abused as a child, married an abuser and has a lot of anxiety and trust issues. I would love to see her begin to trust God as her true Father.

    Thank you Tracie! <3

    Since I already own 2 copies, and plan on purchasing more, I would give one copy to the women's shelter I once stayed in, and I would bless one of these beautiful ladies commenting on this blog with the other. My heart and prayers are with these women who are experiencing abuse and feel like they are stuck. I pray they find a way out. I would keep one of the keychains and give one to my daughter who has also experienced abuse to remind her that; "hearts anchored in God don't sink!"



  65. Trish on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 7:52 pm

    If I win two copies of Unsinkable Faith and the two anchor keychains,

    I would give the extra set to my dear friend Sandy because she has faced one trial after another for the last 3-4 years, and she is definitely weighed down and absolutely miserable. She has allowed life’s circumstances to lead her to a very dark place. My once joyful friend is now the most negative person I have ever met. I want to see my friend smile with joy again, and I believe this book will help her.



  67. Lynn on Thursday, March 30, 2017 at 8:02 pm

    If I win two copies of Unsinkable Faith and the two anchor keychains,

    I would give the extra set to my friend Alex because she lost her baby about a year ago and she hasn’t fully recovered from that yet or healed her heart. This would help her with her emotions and getting closer to GOD and to stop thinking so negatively as well.

    Thank you for this wonderful opportunity I really appreciate it.

    I would love to win this book because I would love to read it to help myself with my mind. My thoughts are so negative but only over myself and my life because of situations and circumstances that have happened to me in my life. Also, my dad is going through cancer right now and I am only 25 years old and I didn’t realize how hard this life was going to be. I just got married in January and I am having a hard time with my marriage as well with something that happened the first couple of days of my marriage.

    Since being reborn again and being saved my emotions are so heightened that I feel so much and it weighs me down.

    I just want to be the energetic, fun, funny, full of life and love and joy girl that I used to be.

    With so much Love,

    Carla De Los Santos
