Day 1


Okay I started this last week however due to things out of my control i was unable to continue so i decided to start it again and finish it.. thank you Jesus for giving me this opportunity to better myself.

Faith..... I have learned alot about Faith in this past year. I can say that Faith is something i use to not have much of.

There are things that I need help with and for a while before they started this in chat I was being lead to do this study, I feel like there is help here within this study that can help me in areas of my life that need tending. I am anxious to get started and continue each day.

Lord I pray that I can recieve help in the areas of my life that need tending with this program. Some things I have left burried and they need to be pulled up and dealt with. I know i can not do it alone. I know with you Lord all things are possible. I am needing to Let Go and Let God. Be with me Lord and guide me thru this, I have open ears for your voice. IJNA

Day 2


Seeds and Weeds one of my most favorite studies. And how true it really is, my garden, my mind... wow. I have noticed that I thought i had gotten rid of some weeds and evidentally I was wrong cuz at the most inappropiate times here that critter comes back to surface. These are things of my past. Things like I said I thought I had dealt with. Well now I have a better way of pulling that weed and replacing it with a seed of Jesus. Fertilize that daily and wait upon the Lord for the increase.

It is so true that I can not remember what scripture is where but I can listen to a song of worship and know every word to it.... A good while back I use to feel intimidated because everyone around me could quote scripture, tell you chapter, verse, etc....I wanted to do that too so I started studding real hard and was wanting that cause others could, then I realized that I was wanting it for the wrong reasons I cried when I realized what I was doing. Then I realized that wanting to know it for me, to live that way, to be able to tell others about it, to Glorify our Heavenly Father is why we want to know it, to have it wrote inside me, was the reason to learn it. And repeatedly reading it and studding it then became easier, and now I understand that. I was told by a friend that anyone can quote the bible,,,,,,,,,,,,, understanding what it says and living it is the key. Big lesson learned.

We listen to alot of worship music around here, and I too will have to say I can have a song and can have listened to it several times then one day hear it again and it speak so much to me... The Voice of Truth is one that recently has spoke to me.

Thank You Jesus for this program and those who has made it possible for us to have here. Thank you Jesus for never giving up on me, and forgiving me of my past sins and help me to Let Go of the things that are holding me back. IJNA.

Hey Tres


I think it is so awesome that we are doing this cccc study together as a team as God had intended for us to be. I have known you for many years, I have watched how God has transformed you from that little girl on your grandfather's farm to that woman that I know today. I am proud of you Tres, keep growing closer to God he will not lead you wrong.


In short you have come a long way


Luv ya

Day 3

Wow interesting study. I will say that the anxiety is becoming a factor with the studies. I find myself anxious for the next one. However I am also doing my upmost on going over and over each step in order to take it all in.

As the forgiving factor, there was a time in my life before I became a Christian when I truly thought that God would not forgive me.( One of the biggest lies of the devil. ) I would even come up with reasons as to why he should not have It is sad now that I look back on it, however it was just the way that i was told and I did not look into it deeper to see if what indeed i was being told was the truth. NOW of course I know the difference and I am forgiven.

I think one of the biggest things in the recent past that i dealt with alot is not being able to forgive myself. You know like when you do something wrong and know it was wrong then just kept bringing it to surface each time, it was like reliving it each and every time. Then one day i was reading something someone was posting and was talking about Forgiveness of ourself and it just clicked and I spoke TRUTH to it the next time it showed its ugly ole face. Yes i am a sinner and I do fall at times, but i ask for forgiveness and get back up.

Thank you Jesus for an awesome study here, thank you for never giving up on me.

Day 4

Forgiveness, big thing in life. I have always had trouble in my life forgiving myself. I held on to some things for many yrs, then one day it came to me to let go and Let God. I truly feel better about that situation now.

Now reading this study tonight, forgive and forget ? I have said that before, I can forgive but I am not so sure about the forgetting part. Or I forgive them and then at the weirdest times when we would see each other I would see it all happening again in my head. Gotta let it all go and pull that weed, and any others that may be standing with it. Because not forgetting it holds the hurt and anger inside still. Don't want that.

Thank you Jesus for explaining the meaning of forgiveness to me and for giving me the chance to forgive others and myself. I have done some really stupid things in my life before, we all fall short, now we have to get up and ask for forgiveness and move on. Thank you Jesus. IJNA

Day 5

Very interesting study. The field trips have helped too. I will not go into specific details however God knows and now i have a lil better understanding on certain issues.

Thank you Jesus so much for this study, those that has made it possible to help others with it too. IJNA

Day 6

A chart is kinda cool especially for keeping you on task with certain things. Keeps your mind off of certain things while the same time it gets you thinking of other things too. Very Interesting.

Now all i have to do is figure out what to put in them

Day 7

Wow what a step. Interesting tho, never really thought of the mind like that before. It sure did take some digging to get rid of those roots. Cuz you gotta go back in thoughts and memories and some of those are not so pleasant. Amazing how you don't think of it , then all at once it comes back up and you are like where did that come from ?

But all in all , it is good to let go of some of the things that was in there. Now gotta refill with Godly things.

Day 8

Another interesting step. How many times did I use to say oh i am just human....... well I know the answer to that. As I go thru these steps, pain and hurt and anger was brought back to life it seemed, however once brought back up then TRUTH was spoken to it. One side seemed empty for a while, then I realized that, those weeds was pulled by the roots and now new seeds are being planted. How interesting.

Awesome steps, and awesome study. IF anyone is reading this and not started the CCCC then i strongly encourage you to do so. It can truly help if you let it.
