When Love Calls

Dear Abba,


     My heart is at peace when I rest in knowing I am not on my own; Abba is a faithful Father. Intimacy with God has been my life line for the twists and turns on my journey of faith. Whenever I feel stalled or overly concerned about anything, I can feel Abba calling me closer to Him. Honestly, at times I grapple with disappointment which delays my answer to His calling. Have you been there? You just want life to stop spinning. You wish the issue didn't exist. You question why this is happening. Thankfully, this journey is a marathon and our Gracious Father allows for times we are questioning and even resisting; not from rebellion but learning to endure hardness is arduous.  I am holding space for anyone feeling the weight of waiting, the frustration brought by delay, impatience from unanswered prayers, and the lack of details from The Most High. 

     The best way to handle these emotions are to be truthful about them and process them through prayer. "God calls us into a loving relationship with Him so that He can share His secrets with us, and, in turn, we can allow ourselves to become unashamedly open before Him (Mills, 2022)." Where would we be if we could not be vulnerable in the presence of the Abba Yah? Imagine if Yahusha/Jesus would not have had the garden at Gethsemane experience. Our only escape is in the arms of our trustworthy Father. When Love Calls answer with an affirmative "Yes!" You will not regret it. He is our safe place to land and our safe place to release all things at His feet. 

    You will start out praying for yourself and you will end praying for others. This is how we gain strength; we receive and give. This practice is the circular motion of intimacy with God and loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. 

May your life be proof of the goodness and long-suffering of The Most High. May you receive the power of Yah's Anointing to break and destroy yokes. May your life be unshackled from fear, doubt, confusion, and self-pity. Listen, all roads lead to victory! The path you are on is designed for you to rest, and hear the call to come close when you need a respite. 

*Scriptures: John 15, Acts 17:27-28, Romans 8:38-39*

Ahava,

Apostle Regina Claxton

Loving and Liking Your Position

  Dear Abba,       Some employees are in customer-facing roles in their jobs and they do not like working with the general public . I have had my issues with the public across several industries including ministry. Employees have valid reasons for disliking their jobs. They also have unreasonable expectations from working with the general public.       For example, customers will make requests according to their preferences for the products and services offered by the company . The workers facilitating the order may feel like the customer is taking something from them as they fulfill an order. They may feel more is required of them than what is received from their role .   An employee may feel a lack of appreciation depending on the interaction between the customers . The transaction can be taken personally by the employee . The truth is, the worker is doing a job they are paid to do . They are accomplishing their w...

I Don't Quit, I Shift!

Dear Abba,      This time last year I was stressed out functioning at full throttle. Adrenaline, and tension were driving me forward. Sometimes life happens and we maintain abnormal velocities to keep pace.  From October 2024 until April 2025 I would experience the longest sprint of my life. I was one of the caregivers for our mother as she approached the ending of her health challenges. While our relationship was not without hardship; I loved and honored her flaws and all. I may make her famed sweet potato pie in her honor this year for the holidays. 👀 Nevertheless, I am moving through life focusing on my future.       Thankfully, I am much calmer these days and my body, mind, and nervous system are finding a safer rhythm for me to live and thrive. The Most High made us with the capacity to adjust. Ruach helps us to regulate our emotions.  Kislev/November is the time we acknowledge Caregivers.  Happy Caregivers Month!     ...

Disruption

  Dear ABBA,      As Your Church, we cannot passively accept cultural and societal norms no matter what group or authority will initiate an ideology.  It was almost a year ago when You said,  "A Shaking and Shaping."   We thought COVID shook us enough , however , You are off to the next as of last year.  Disruption      Who is excited for the remainder of 5785/2025? A shaking of systems and age-old traditions is on the horizon. These changes will shape society at large to see, think, and behave in alignment with the disruption of norms. As with any disruption, those refusing to align are left behind! We cannot make anyone change, even when it means improvement for themselves. However, consequences may become a motivation for them to acquiesce.       Yahshuah gave us an example of what consequences look like in the lives of the unwilling. (See John 2:13-17 ) Yahshuah approached the temple and was immediately ang...
