ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF

When I gave JESUS my wholehearted, "YES," in September of 1997, I chose to leave behind the fear that had kept me from doing so to that point. And GOD met me with the stories of JESUS in the wilderness, the book of Job, Abraham and Sarah, and Joseph in Genesis, to name a few. So, I felt that HE was upfront with me that there would be hardships, but I also felt that HE'D assured me through those verses that I would come out on top. As a result, for years I ran toward my Goliaths, just like David with all confidence in GOD, and with my husband and children on one accord. I suffered pain from external family, but my husband and children and I remained one in CHRIST. I suffered pain from friends, but my husband and children and I remained one in CHRIST. I suffered pain from the Church, but my husband and children and I remained one in CHRIST. At least, that was the case until the day my relationship with my husband began to feel more adversarial, and some of my children as they grew seemed to go from seeing me as their original ride or die - after JESUS, of course - to second-guessing me and trusting strangers more, and as a result, I found myself second-guessing GOD, because based on the example HE provided for me in the scriptures, this was not how things were supposed to be at this phase of my life, I thought. Living life as the radical servants of GOD that we had been for decades, already made for a pretty isolated existence, especially when I went back to school over 40, but graduating just in time for a global pandemic took that isolation to another level. I suddenly found myself in my house surrounded by people, while feeling more alone than ever.

 

THE LORD having taught me well over the years, however, immersed in all HIS unconditional love, grace, mercy, favor, and faithfulness, I knew that the answer was not in running from but to HIM. I knew that the answer was not in relying on my own understanding but in trusting HIM. I knew that the answer was not in remaining isolated, but in reaching out to my sisters-in-CHRIST and offering to them the very encouragement that I myself needed and found in the pages of HIS WORD. I call it, "ERYN GREEN KINGDOM LIVING." Because the same fight that the enemy brought to my door was and is being brought to many more, especially women in families that GOD has been preparing for such a time as this, to stand against evil. As if, like in my household, unity in CHRIST is your strength, then the enemy's plan would naturally be to attempt to divide you from each other in hopes of making it easier to divide you from CHRIST, as the Christian without CHRIST is conquered. Sisters united in HIM, however, lifting each other and our families up before HIM, whose primary focus is to remind one another that no matter how things might appear in this moment, JESUS has already defeated that foe, and we have already won!

ERYN GREEN KINGDOM LIVING includes The P31 MAKE-OVER YouTube Channels, The ERYN GREEN KINGDOM U Online Courses, and The VERDANT BOUTIQUE ROYALE Product Lines. These three are the ways that THE LORD has chosen to strengthen me with HIS HAND to draw HIS Daughters, who are where I was, with my transparency, to HIS Plan of unity in HIM. We are never alone, because we have a HEAVENLY DADDY who loves us more than life itself, is able to do everything that we can't, and we have sisters from all ages and stages of life that can speak life over each other's dry bones.

In Genesis 11:6 (CJB), GOD makes the following determination before deciding to confuse the language of Humanity, "Look, the people are united, they all have a single language, and see what they’re starting to do! At this rate, nothing they set out to accomplish will be impossible for them!" The problem was that they were united without HIM, but we are coming together in HIM to walk as the winners we indeed are, to walk as the winners that HE, in fact, made us to be (see Genesis 1 & 2). Claiming our victories by faith, displayed by our works, until GOD makes manifest HIS Will for our lives - which is always immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine - before our very eyes.
