WHAT DOES FEAR OF THE LORD ACTUALLY MEAN?

“When the people He created start planting good seeds, a harvest of fresh fruit will grow. But those that produce bad seeds, will harvest weeds that will overflow and never produce any fruit.”

Well, can I start by saying Fear of the Lord sure doesn’t mean the Wrath of God is going to come upon you for being human. But it does mean you may want to be mindful of the seeds you’re planting in your life, and in others. I am so tired of “Churchy people” giving false messages and speaking Jesus’s name at the center of fear! God should be at the center of all you do, YES! But God is LOVE! NOT FEAR. Let me make that very clear!

Now, to add to that statement, let me just say, YES, there is a certain way God wants us to live our life. But some people make this so mystical that the average person never feels worthy to take the journey. In fact, salvation is the reason Jesus came to earth. So that, you, me, and EVERYONE may have an opportunity for salvation in this life. Let me give you the definition of salvation since so called “Jesus followers” will try to manipulate this…

“Let those who have ears, Hear.”

WHAT IS SALVATION?

Definition #1 Preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss.
Definition #2 A source or means of being saved from harm, ruin, or loss.

This is where freaking church people really manipulate you. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Their words are not encouraging, nor do they offer any long-term salvation. They keep you stuck in your mess, and you never actually move forward. The bible has a lot to say about our tongues being a sharp knife. You should read it sometime. Your tongue gives life or death to people and their situations. So, whatever comes out of your mouth better come from a fruitful and fulfilling place because you just might be destroying Gods plan for His creation.

Contrary to some beliefs, most of these so-called prophesying Jesus followers, are hostile, ignorant, and lack common sense, and enthusiasm for this life. WHICH GOD CREATED! So let me add this statement, harm, ruin, and loss look very different to each of us. (BASED ON THE BODY AND LIFE HE GAVE US) Everyone’s circumstances are different, and we were not created the same. There are no two people the same in this world. Not even twins are the same. But that is an entirely new topic we can save for another day.

Salvation is being delivered (saved, freed, unchained) from a life that is unfulfilling and stressful. When you are saved, you are introduced to a life with possibilities. Eventually, once you begin walking freely, you become unchained from the world’s expectations for your life. Did you hear what I said? “The worlds expectations for your life”. When you have been unchained from everyone else’s expectations, you will begin to choose the paths less traveled, and those paths offer abundance.

However, abundance also means something different to each of us. Jesus tells us that he sent an advocate to help us make better decisions. That advocate is the holy spirit. The Holy Spirit is our guided intuition. Here me when I say, your intuition holds the key to achieving the desires of your heart and your ego will try to distract you. The path you choose leads you to a life of abundance or a life of complete misery. The only way you discover the true desires of your heart, and live in abundance, is when we choose to release all the negative and bad stuff going on in this world and focus on the good things God has prepared for you.

I can prove it! Jesus gave Wisdom in a verse to help you live an abundant life. It goes something like this, “I came to this World, so that you may have life and live it more Abundantly.” Another verse says, “The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy.” Here is a simple question, what is destroying you? Or better yet, what brings joy to your heart? What does living more abundantly mean to you? The Lord also said, “Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth”. Meaning, set your mind on things that are heavenly (divine, delightful, lovely, etc.) This comes naturally once you DECIDE to listen to wisdom and develop the 9 fruits of the spirit.

Oh, what are the 9 fruits of the spirit, you ask?

Well, It’s “LOVE JOY PEACE PATIENCE KINDNESS GOODNESS GENTLENESS FAITHFULNESS AND SELF-CONTROL”

So how can we experience a life lived in abundance? Easy, by not bringing attention to the worldly things that destroy your personal spirit, but rather living a life that represents these 9 qualities in your spirit. How do we do that? Again, easy! By using the advocate. You will know it is coming from the Holy Spirit when your thoughts, desires and actions represent love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and when you maintain self-control through it all. You produce good fruit by encouraging the broken hearted and keeping your heart on things above. It really is simple, it’s just not that easy to choose the narrow path. Or the path less traveled.

YOUR EGO KEEPS YOUR HEART CHAINED TO BITTERNESS

Proverbs 14:10 says “Each heart knows its own bitterness and no one else can share its joy.” Meaning, no one in this world can share the things that bring Joy to your heart, if your own ego keeps your heart chained to bitterness. It shows in your words and actions. What comes out of your heart pours out of your mouth and onto others. Stop being bitter, angry, hatful people. Stop regarding everything in this world as bad and negative. Stop reminding people of the bad shit going on! I am pretty sure we are all aware evil exists. God created this world, good and evil, and it all has purpose. People with bad attitudes make it ugly! People who have wisdom make it a time to grow and learn in the storms. Being curious and full of wonder is the only way to experience abundance.

There will always be bad things happening in this world, and every world beyond our little galaxy, because people have the free will to make choices. Can I also say you are not the only one struggling! Every soul experience difficult times. There will always be a season for learning, a season for growing, a season for laughter, a season for mourning, and a season to celebrate. There is a season for everything under the sun. If you don’t believe me, check out Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Do you think God makes mistakes? When the people He created start planting good seeds, a harvest of fresh fruit will grow. But those that produce bad seeds, will harvest weeds that will overflow and never produce any fruit. So, salvation is setting your thoughts on everything and anything that is GOOD…. To start over means to renew your mind so you can harvest good fruit.

Remember this…

What’s good for YOU is NOT good for the crew. I will get to the part where I tell you what fearing God really means,

but I must first tell you this…

AFTER SALVATION

So, after you decide to choose the path of salvation/recovery, (becoming new, changing your ways, etc.) you will have to make some new choices and decisions based on what “salvation” looks like to YOU (not to your neighbor, not your sister, not your brother, not your friends, not social media influencers, or anyone else, just YOU). What area of life do you need change? (Relational, financial, health, mental, is there an addiction you need to overcome? etc.) This is different for everyone no matter what religious people or churchy people say! Life comes in seasons and seasons change. And even though we walk this world together, we experience it differently because of the lens we look through.

A true follower of Christ knows they must shadow the footsteps that Jesus left behind. Did you ever see your shadow do something you didn’t do? Living by his teaching, guides a path that is pure and easy. He says his burden will be light. I promise you; life is light once you realize everything happens for you and not to you.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION CLOUDS OUR JUDGEMENT

Unfortunately, our paths get clouded by all the information given out today and it becomes clouded by all the opinions of other people. It’s not just our parents and teachers who influence our beliefs and ideology. No, it’s this entire world of people with different cultures and beliefs. Some of them with no filter and no moral values or respect toward others or their circumstances. Some people live with big egos and have the audacity to call it the holy spirit guiding them. So many people representing Jesus by screaming radical beliefs behind fear. This only creates more weeds in the wilderness, not fruit from the true vine.

Can I just say to those who are in a season of darkness right now, the holy spirit is not arrogant, selfish, fearful, or boastful. The chaos in this world is not created to harm you but to strengthen you. Jesus didn’t come here to get famous. He became famous because his teachings made people feel safe and helped people overcome their fears. His teachings were healing, they were encouraging, and they sent people off with a new outlook on their personal circumstances, and their future. It gave them hope in the midst of their storm, so they could keep going with faith that everything was going to be okay. He never shoved scripture, laws, or rules, down people’s throat. He shared good news about the kingdom of heaven and said, “whoever has ears let them hear”.

Salvation does not give permission for anyone to be a bully! So many people get saved and forget where they met Jesus. I apologize for their arrogance and ignorance.

Salvation is just making the choice to change the steps you take from the time you wake up in the morning, to the time you go to sleep at night. It’s not looking back on the people you hang with, the places you’ve been or the things you’ve done. Yes, those people and places impact you and they can have a positive or negative affect on your life. It means you must constantly forget all the harmful people, places and things in your life and leave them in the past where they belong. Let go and Let God! To have a renewing of the mind you must find new people, new places, and new things that bring nothing but joy to your heart and encourage the soul. Protecting your heart is the most important part of the journey. This has nothing to do with anyone else! This has nothing to do with what they think is true or not true! Your walk in this life is between you and God and that is it!!! Stop worrying what other people will think! Salvation is releasing the past and stepping into a new you! All those people with opinions, have no place in your future. The next step is where you discover Fear of the Lord. You will have to let go of all human beliefs so you can adapt to Gods plan. Which is the only way to abundance.

WHAT IS FEAR OF THE LORD

Proverbs 15:33 tells us “Fear of the Lord teaches Wisdom” It continues by saying “Humility precedes Honor.”

The bible is constantly telling us to get wisdom. This verse tells us that when we are afraid of the Lord, we learn wisdom. We are not scared of his wrath! We fear the consequences of our bad decision making because we know there will be consequences. We will always face consequences when we go back to our old ways or do something outside of what we know was right. It’s kind of common sense! You get these signs and wonders for your own life when you read the “Word” properly.

I personally Believe fearing the Lord means, we keep searching Him out in our own life. We get deep into the word and when we read it, we hear instructions on how we are supposed to walk in our own life. Please hear me when I say, we are not supposed to read the word so we can point the finger at everyone who lives outside our belief system. The word was not created for other people, it was created for you and your personal growth.

We should strive to become more like Jesus, so we can be less like our selves. Our “earthly being” is tainted by temptations and desires, and we need to learn self-control to overcome our urges and impulsive behaviors. Fear of the Lord means you know better, you strive to do better, and you become a better version of yourself every day. Again, not so you can point the finger at other people and have a big ego, but so you can grow in Christ.

You make the choice to forgive those who treat you badly, but you also protect yourself by not enabling them to continue to hurt you, but instead dismiss them from your life. Yes, there is a scripture on letting your enemy smack you across the face 7 times 7 times. I know! I have wrestled with this verse for years! Ugh, we really must discern (distinguish) between the people who are giving us constructive criticism (giving a healthy assessment and positive view on life), and those who are just wicked (giving an unhealthy perception and negative views of life). He doesn’t want you to burden yourself with people who benefit themselves at the cost of losing your own joy in spirit. That is evil and not good, and you need to eliminate all toxic people from your life.

Keep in mind, the places you hang around govern your thoughts. The things you think of will determine your actions. Be very careful and surround yourself in environments that keep your mind clean, genuine, authentic, and in absolute enthusiasm to learn. Be wise in your decision making. Where your flesh wonders your mind goes. So, keep your mind safe by walking in places that bring clarity and wonder.

THIS IS FEARING THE LORD

Fearing the Lord means making difficult decisions today because you know it will benefit your life tomorrow. You fear the Lord by making difficult decisions for his good and perfect will for your life and His Kingdom. Choosing Gods path is sometimes very difficult, but the burden is light because in the end, you will have peace, and your heart will be filled with joy. There will be no more pain and suffering. When you follow His teachings, you discover His Will for your life. Your faith becomes stronger in the storms of life because you’ve witnessed the miracles before. You are confident in knowing Him so you trust Him no matter what path you’re on.

To fear him is to love him so much that you want to do good by him. You make wiser choices because you want to please him by the way you live your life. It’s like a child who wants to make his/her parents proud. God doesn’t want you around certain people because they don’t bring you joy. He doesn’t want you going to certain places or doing certain things because it is more harmful than good for your life. “For the Lord knows the plans he has for you. To prosper you not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). Maybe you are being asked to eliminate some people from your life this season. Maybe some people have some heart work to do on themselves before you can be around them again. Maybe you’re not strong enough in self-control to go to certain places. Maybe He has a better place for you to work or a better partner in life. Whatever it is God is asking you to do this season, listen to the still small voice inside you and do the thing. Even if you don’t see any results right away, God has a purpose and a season for everything under the sun. Allow the holy spirit to guide you. Remember, the Lord will give and take away for the good of his people.

He won’t just take your troubles away, heal you from illnesses, or change conditions and circumstances. He will take away things that are not serving you and give you the life He knows you are worthy of! The life he created you for. But you have to be willing to do the hard things. It’s easy to do the hard things when you fear him enough to trust that he knows what he is doing. Get wisdom, have self-control, and know that everything was created for his good and faithful servant. “The Lord works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster.” (Proverbs 16) So, choose to humble yourself this year by being honest about your bad decision making in the past. Own your part! But then choose to have a renewing of the mind and make better choices moving forward.

Let go of your old ways and put on confidence in your new ways…

“When the people He created start planting good seeds, a harvest of fresh fruit will grow.
But those that produce bad seeds, will harvest weeds that will overflow and never produce any fruit.”

This Generation of Memorization Lacks Feeling and Emotion

January 3, 2023October 2, 2025CHRISTINA DITZEL Leave a comment

“Your life consists of using your small little brains to compute and hold information just long enough to pass the tests of society so they can get what they want from you”

IS THE REFLECTION YOU SEE YOUR OWN OR THE ONE SOCIETY IS PLANTING?

As a little girl I always struggled to learn in school. I loved lectures but hated reading material. I could sit in a classroom for an hour, read the chapters we were told to read, but I never remember what I just read. I felt stupid! I felt like it was so easy for everyone else but for me, I just couldn’t keep up. I went to special Ed Classes and still struggled to learn and keep up. Teachers told my mom that I was smart, but I was lazy. Truth is, I was never a lazy person, but I was always bored! School completely bored me, and I felt it lacked emotion from the people who were being paid to teach me. And unlike today’s generation, if I complained about a teacher, I would be the one reaping consequences. After years of attending tons of college courses, signing up for multiple programs, certifications, and attending way too many teacher parent conferences, I can tell you that it was never me who lacked the ability to learn. It was the fact that people lack emotion and humility for those they are communicating with.

I hate this generation with all my being, and I pray that God gives me a humble heart to allow for people’s ignorance. I’ve learned too late in life, that the problem was not really me who couldn’t learn; it was how teachers taught and scholarly people were creating curriculum. I realized politics entered our education system from the very beginning and it has never been done for the good of the children or for the good of the people’s future. Our society lacks emotion and meaning behind education and always has! Although there are many articles out there on the internet of when the first school began, I can tell you this, girls were not allowed to attend school in early America. How does that work? Who and when did any one person get the right to decide what girls/women can and cannot learn? I am so sick of this division. We are ALL HUMAN BEINGS, and we should be treated as such. There should never be one person ruling over another, EVER! And Politics and religion should stay out of our education systems! It is not only causing war between families, cultures, and countries, but it is controlling and manipulative behavior. Since everyone’s views and beliefs are different and we can’t seem to get into alignment or agreement on any of those topics, they should not be allowed to dictate our individual future!

As children go to school, they are expected to pass tests to move forward. This logic is flawed! Tests that were created by one specific group of scholarly people who have political opinions and religious beliefs of their own. We get older and go to college as young men and women and we do the same thing. Listening to opinions and voices of everyone else. We assume or believe these people to be smarter and wiser than us because education says, “they are expected to be smart due to passing the test that gives them that printable paper degree”. We trust these people to give us knowledge so we can go on into careers with the knowledge we need to build the life we want. Right? WRONG!!! We all want the “American Dream”! While everyone’s dream is different, memorizing the material, passing the tests and then, and only then will we be allowed to move forward.

Isn’t this how life has become? We are always chasing dreams and forced to pass someone else’s tests and if we fail their expectations we get held back! This society has become “live walking computers”! They push all the buttons they want, and we respond to whichever trigger they pull! No one has a mind of their own anymore and people are killing themselves because they feel lost, confused, and they don’t really fit in. Not fitting in and blending into everyone else’s bubble and beliefs is the New Age American Dream! One dream I for one don’t really care to invest in! Is the current reflection you see your own, or the one society is planting?

Turn off the noise and listen to the still small voice inside you

You may think you’re so great for being able to memorize test questions that may get you that job or promotion, but you lack something very important, “common freaking sense!”. And that my friend is having good judgment when dealing with others, and practicality to humble yourself in certain situations. This generation of memorization lacks emotions, humility, and kindness for all humans! And for this reason, I think we are headed for destruction if we don’t get a handle on it NOW! It has not only rubbed off on all generations now, but this mentality of memorizing material has moved into politics, our education systems, our medical fields, and even our churches! People don’t feel the need or desire to use their actual mind and physical being to learn from each other or take in new information. No! Instead, they use their small little brains to compute and hold information just long enough to pass the tests of society so they can get what they want from you. Fools do the speech that gets the views and likes, or they just cheat the system and buy them. Fools lead the conference that will get them the promotion and more money, but they leave the meeting and when asked questions they don’t remember what they just said. None of these fools know passion or kindness, and do you know why? Simple, because computers don’t care about people! “IT” only cares about algorithms, procedures, and systems. The noise you people listen to holds you back from your full potential. When you turn off the noise your desire for worldly things will diminish, your priorities will change, and your soul will sing with passion! Listen to that still small voice nudging at your soul.

Get your Passion and Priorities straight

Your memorizing lacks feeling and emotion and you’re only cheating yourselves. The medical field for example has many educated professionals. Nurses and doctors must go through extensive testing to get their high paying positions. I too have attempted the medical field and I can tell you that these students cheat and feel under pressure to pass tests! The passion is lost in school, and because the tests became the priority instead of saving a life, the medical field fails. You’ve lost your passion for people because the tests of life became your priority.

So, how can we get our passion back after we’ve lost our priorities? Here is where common sense comes in, “FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU PRIORITIZE AND WHY”! Figure out what you want in life. And not what google says you want! We all know money, fame, and fortune doesn’t freaking make us happy! Just look at all the millionaires, celebrities, and people from all walks of life killing themselves every day! Love and relationships can’t make you happy long term either! People change as fast as technology, so don’t depend on your current relationship to stay passionate; it won’t last long! Nothing in this world last because it’s constantly changing, and people change with it.

Truth is, while you change with this world, you’re constantly feel like you’re living outside of your own element. Do you ever wonder why that is? Easy, because you are just following everyone else’s priorities instead of chasing your own passions! The chase and eagerness for life is lost outside of you because you stopped connecting to your own truth and your own emotions. You feel lack because you don’t fit into the program’s society is creating for you. You need to create your own program! Chase your passions and your priorities will become straight.

What is your Passion

Passions are not material things of this world; passion is the feeling of emotions you honestly internalize within yourself. It comes from your perceptions of this world. The things you like or dislike, the things that are true to you but maybe not so true to others. The things you want to change and the things you want to bring attention to. It’s giving life to someone who feels death upon themselves and it’s creating something that makes them feel happy or inspired in that darkness. Passion is being connected to God and living in purpose beyond your own understanding. It’s a feeling of beauty but a sense of peace in all you do and all you see. It’s embracing the unknown experiences and being excited about the unexpected. Don’t be predictable! The world is predictable, but you are special. You are being called for something greater. Embrace it! Don’t fear that nudge in your chest because the world doesn’t have the common sense to see you. That nudge you feel in your heart is God calling you. You are being called for more than just a mediocre life that memorizes content, material, and procedures. Don’t be a computer that the world programs, be a human that tests the programs and explores life beyond it. Override your mental capacity by embracing your feelings and emotions. Thrive to care about the people who live in this world, but don’t just exist to force people to become computers who do what you expect.

I write because I don’t want people to feel stuck in life failing the tests of the world. Feeling like a failure is never fun! I know this because I’ve lived there. Following the rules of the people I allowed into my life feeling emotionless and lack. It’s my passion to help others discover themselves through a new lens because my priorities are not focused on gaining the things of this world. I want you to constantly be moving forward, so you can discover new priorities through your passions. By doing so you will show the world that feelings and emotions matter more than just passing the worlds tests. Our world was never created for one person to rule over another. We are not computers and we have been given the gift of FREE WILL! We were created to build a kingdom that looks like heaven on earth filled with people who love each other, not live in war with one another.

WHY ARE THEY TAKING WOMENS RIGHTS AWAY?

July 13, 2022October 2, 2025CHRISTINA DITZEL Leave a comment

Because your actions say, “Women are Emotionally Unstable and Incapable of Making Good Decisions!”

“When is the right time (in one’s life) to have a baby, if you want to procreate after all? What would be your major consideration – age, career, location, environment, etc.?”

That is the question that came into my inbox this morning! When I see questions like this, it becomes abundantly clear why the Government decides to make decisions for us! Myu short response to this question? “NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!” A longer reply? When you are self-aware and mature enough to realize that you can make decisions for YOURSELF, and also take care of another human being in the process”! Too many women are in this world have an opinion on how they want our society to view us, but they do nothing to help the way we bring up women in our society! Too many women are excited about the idea of having a child, but they don’t really want the responsibilities of a child, they just want to reap the rewards that come with having a child. (I won’t get into the details today, about what ‘you think’ those benefits are, but your highly mistaken and very delusional if you think having a child will make your life easier!) For those who women who already know that you don’t want a child, why are you sleeping around without protection? FYI, a government check is not worth ruining a person’s life! We need change, but it is not what you think! Let me state one fact about raising a child, there are a lot of stages, obstacles, stresses, and struggles that come with being responsible for another human being, and there is NO one size fits all where parenting is concerned! But how you live your own life, will in fact affect that child and impact both your lives for years to come! So, when I see questions from this generation, who are hung up on just trying to “procreate”, I have to question your motive! What the hell is wrong with you? Raising a child should never be taken lightly and honestly, just by asking such a question as the one above, you’re not only NOT ready for a child, but you are still living life with a child-like mentality! GET KNOWELDGE & GET WISDOM!

“IF WE WANT TO CHANGE HOW WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE TREATED

WE HAVE TO CHANGE HOW OUR SOCIETY THINKS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN“
BY CHRISTINA DITZEL

Let me start by saying that change starts with a decision. Decide to be the change you want to see! My heart breaks every time my daughters’ friends come to me with mommy and daddy issues or advice. So many questions cross my mind and then I realize their parents are too hung up on themselves to even listen to their child’s needs and concerns. Very few people understand what it takes to be a parent in this generation! Adults have gotten so dam sensitive these days that even if I did offer advice to their children, it would only cause drama in my own life because they would say “I’m overstepping”. Umm, well maybe you should step into the role of parenting, and I wouldn’t have to! Ugh, I really feel like giving advice to their parents! “So many people watch these movies, TikTok’s, and things all over social media that make parenting look funny, fun, happy, and super irresponsible! Can I just say that some of you have very twisted humor! I don’t know you, so I don’t know if you are a good parent, a dead-beat dad, or a shitty mom. But if you are not willing to make many sacrifices, encourage, support, teach, learn, and love, that child with all your heart and all your soul don’t have a baby. Most people don’t even know how to love themselves. Most people today act out in desperation because they’re so codependent and on the hunt for love. We will go everywhere but ‘within’ to get just a small dose of pleasure. We will even turn to an innocent baby for love and affection.

THE REALITY OF PARENTING

“Aww the baby is cute!” Until that baby/child prevents them from eating, sleeping, having sex, dating, disrupts work or work schedule, and basically having a personal life at all! The rich? OH yea, they hire nannies to raise their kids. The reality of being a parent is this: ‘you really need to know your own love language, your partners love language, and your child’s love language’. If you really want to have a happy, healthy family life, you will need to be master’s in communication! And you need to be aware that you are responsible for making every decision, with the wellbeing of that child as your first priority, for years to come! (Yes, even into adulthood). Just like you didn’t ask to be born into a shitty home, neither did your child! If you can’t even touch the surface of all that, then don’t bother even thinking of having a child! We don’t own our children, but if we are big enough to create a human, we need to know how to nurture that human!

I don’t think people are aware that there are no more beds available for these kids in shelters and foster care! They are now letting any Tom, Dick, Lucy, and Jane to foster kids when their biological parents can’t hold it together. And furthermore, they are medicating these kids at such a young age because of the trauma their dysfunctional home has caused them. I have witnessed this myself! They never even get a chance to live normal, happy lives without having major mental, physical, and emotional trauma planted in the beginning stages of life. So, you ask, why are they taking women’s rights away? Because so many women are acting like fools all over social media! Because your dysfunctional videos that you’re posting with your baby’s all over “TikyToky”…is not fucking funny anymore! Because children are having children, and because messed up people are creating more messed up people! And the world doesn’t need any more chaos! The other half of society is tired of seeing this destruction and they want to change it! I am part of that other half!

Look at our government today! Look at the havoc and division they have caused along with media. You can’t even turn the news off long enough to go out into your community and do one small thing that would begin a ripple effect of positive change in your small community! Do we really want to bring children into a world that has no self-control, no respect for mankind, no moral values, and no discernment for communication and community? I know this article was supposed to be about “WOMENS RIHTS”, but it is if you listen intently. If women don’t pull together and start “getting something right” we can’t change our rights as women! And we will lose them all!

WOMEN SHOULD NOT HAVE CHILDREN IF THEY:

Are just looking for unconditional love because you feel lack
Think you’re going to get money from the government, tax refunds, and other resources (total bs trust me they’re not helping)
Are Codependent
Don’t know how to give or receive love (what’s your love language? What’s the love language of those around you?)
Are addicted to substances or have addictive personality
Make bad decisions
Are not in a mentally, physically, emotionally healthy relationship with a partner who will stick around and support you and that child
Don’t know how to take care of yourself
Don’t know how to manage your finances
THE LIST GOES ON… HOPEFULLY YOU GET THE POINT…

Know thyself before you make major decisions that could create an unwanted child. Especially when they are literally taking women’s rights away for this exact reason!!! We have to BE BETTER if we want everyone else to treat us better!

If we don’t start asking WHY? We won’t find solutions!

So many women have no respects for themselves! WHY?
They are settling in abusive relationships WHY?
They think a child will make him love her or change his abusive ways. WHY?
They don’t like being alone with themselves! WHY?
They crave a man’s attention! WHY?
Their so codependent! WHY?
They idealize others and their life! WHY?
They romance and justify their bad habits! WHY?
They gossip because they are unhappy with their own circumstance. WHY?
They flaunt their body’s online as sexual Icons! WHY?
And so much more WHY? WHY? WHY?

HELP THE MISSION

Genesis 2:18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” Please help me by letting me know how you can help! A simple Donation is appreciated, but we are better together! If you want to do more in your communities, contact me so we can create a plan and/or a program together!

I am so passionate about the women and children in our broken society! I find myself burdened by the politics that keep young moms broke and broken and never moving forward into a purpose driven life! I am passionate because I come from a broken family, and I know what it feels like to be a struggling single mom raising two teenage girls alone. I come from a place with sexual, physical, mental, and substance abuse. Overcoming the many obstacles wasn’t easy, but I’ve come to realize that we are not focusing on the right areas to actually prevent poverty in broken homes. Today I am on a mission to not only help prevent women from struggling financially, but to create programs that build better vision for our future generations! The past few years I have been modest and patronizing in so many ways, but my passion has grown beyond humility.

The wellbeing of the women and children in this world are important to me! If we as women can’t get a handle on ourselves and learn some self-control, the “higher ups” will take over and do it for us!!! I believe “we go through life so we can find our life”! When we begin making better decisions in our life, we have the ability to make a change in the lives around us! Let’s start with Our Children, because they deserve better! You deserve better! WE ALL DESERVE BETTER! But to receive better, we must be doing better!!!

I cannot do this alone and I need your help! When you are thinking of how you can help, think of the women who will get the time and space to learn new skills for job opportunities. Think of the causes they love that will become businesses. These women will learn the skills to do the work they love but also provide services they not only get paid for, but they will help other women in the process This is what I call “The Ripple Effect of Blessings”. Think of how many women we could help become successful instead of depending on men, or government assistance. In sitting down with me and asking the questions WHY? We can solve a multitude of issues that are happening in our country today.

SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE AWAKENING

The awakening process kinda’ sucks! Or I could say “when you follow your intuition, life gets a little complicated”. What I am talking about is that moment when you know your different! That moment when you feel like a freaking crazy person! Like, everything you say or do people are like “umm?? huh? Standing there scratching their head looking at you like a mental case”! Seriously? Am I being irrational or is everyone else just unconsciously going through the motions of life?” It’s that feeling you get when your “changing” and the people around you just don’t get the “new you” at all? You Know what I am talking about! That feeling that has you believing in more, doing more, and yet it’s too hard to express yourself to those around you. Because every time you do….Well, you already know they will think your the weird one. Or they give you that look that comes across as “You’re insane!”

Do you have this sense of purpose straight down to the very core of your being, but you feel obliged to hide it away, to avoid hurting others? Are you experiencing a deep emotion inside of you that wants to crawl out of your skin, but you know if you said it audibly to the people around you, they would label you as crazy, insane, foolish, stupid or some other word that has “failure or loser” written all over it? Well that sucks! It’s like, “you know they’re going to have a ‘field day’ if you said or did what was really on your mind!” Yet, you still seek their approval. It’s like… “Ugh, wake up people! Life is meant to be lived and we are missing out!” Please don’t allow other people to dim your light!

If you said “Yes” to any of the above statements or questions, I want you to know that “I get you”! I get you, and you’re not alone! I know how it horrible it feels when you’ve found yourself in a place doing what everyone else in your life wants you to do, instead of doing the things that truly make sense to you. It’s like, “why do I always have to stay in the shadows, just to keep everyone else from getting their feelings hurt? Right? Well, you don’t! You are choosing to, but you don’t have to choose to anymore! It’s exhausting trying to keep that last bit of sanity, while people continue to “dumb down” everything in my great BIG world. And for what ? To boost themselves up, in their ordinary lives?Maybe I am just dreaming too big for their small minds! I don’t really know, but what I do know is that other people don’t have the vision that I have growing deep down to my very core, because they are not me! Likewise, those around you do have the same vision that you have deep down to the very core of your being! Bottom line! “They are sleep walking in their conventional existence, instead of waking up with intention!” My hope is those of you who are reading this make a decision today, to spend the rest of your days living in adventure, and with an eagerness for more!

Am I crazy or Are you just sleep walking?

Do you know what the opposite of sleep walking is? That’s right! “AWAKE!” Those of us that have experienced this “crazy awakening” process, have felt this sense of lack throughout most of our life. That lack comes from following everyone else. You know SLEEP WALKING. We have been listening to all the people who are just going through the motions, living in their predictable lifestyles, and belief systems. This is not a life most of us feel excited to “conform” to! As a result, sometimes we can end up outraged, indulging in sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling, or some other appetite to full fill our short lived satisfaction, that burns inside of us! Some of us have abandonment issues from childhood trauma. Or maybe we have been told we will need medications to maintain our mood swings or attitudes. Some of us even try serial dating or consume ourselves in work!

Whatever the case, there is a stigma in this world that if we are not all doing the same thing, or if we are different than the rest, we should be labeled and cast out at a “crazy person”! Well, I am here to encourage you to pursue your purpose. Awakening your dreams and live the life you want today! If you have a “sense” that there is MORE to your life, you think and feel different than those around you, and you see things differently, well, you are probably waking up to your true self, and I would love to see you step into that life!

If you have ever felt like you should be listening to that “still small voice inside of your head” that says, “I am not crazy, I am just ‘self-aware’ and everyone else around me is just stuck in their belief systems and routines”. Well, I am here to tell you YES! Yes, you need to be listening to that still small voice that screaming at you to be YOU! Just do all the things that feel right to you.

Okay, so I get it, being in that place where people don’t get you, really sucks! I know! And I know this because I’ve experienced it for most of my life. I always felt like there was more to this life. Like people never understood the words that came out of my mouth. No one understood that there was so much more to me! And I just always felt like a freaking ‘mental’ person! But,you know what sucked even worse? Every time I did try to step out into that “more” or be different than everyone else, my life came crumbling down on me even harder and my life would spiral out of control!

I serious began to believe I really was crazy! I literally believed it so much, that I let people put labels on me like “bipolar”, “depressed” and many others. Furthermore, I allowed them to put me on medications like Prozac. As if that shit was going to make me feel any better! “Yea lets call her bipolar and put her on drugs”. Yea, because everyone with mental issues can’t get a handle on your thoughts without drugs! LOL, yea we see how far that shit got me! Right? I found a new love for all kinds of pills. Any pill that numbed my reality! That was my life!

Okay, so now that I went off in a tangent, lets get back to “The Awaking vs The Unconscious”. So the ‘Norm’ was the average life everyone else was living! This feeling of ‘going through the motions of life and never really getting to any real destination’. That was it! That was the purpose of being here! The irony of all that makes me, “me”!!! I became who I am today, because of “All my Crazy”! I am who I am today, because I actually “WOKE UP” to this idea that we are not supposed to just reside in this world being average but, we are designed to live fully, experiencing the world in our greatest sense! No matter how out of sorts that may seem to everyone else around us! We each have a purpose and until you wake up to our true essence, we are just going to live a life completely unsatisfied! No one teaches us to embrace our true self, because that would be out of the norm. And that is just “CRAZY”. Well, I totally disagree.

OTHER SIGNS YOUR AWAKENING

Your drawn to nature
You realize the health of your body is important
You begin to dislike negative and unhappy people
Awareness of things that are unseen by others
Desire for community
You become more intuitive to people, places and things around you
Your not rushed and your world moves slower
Your at peace even in difficult times
You have an awareness and connection to nature and all living things
You feel different and frustrated with loved ones belief systems

WAKING UP & EMBRACING MY CRAZY

When we decide to wake up and embrace thy self, we find some pretty amazing things happen! I have encountered so many amazing people, places and things along my journey through this life, that they have literally impacted who I am today! Strangers who have encouraged, supported, and inspired me to expand my horizons! Strangers who hold no significance in my life personally, but have been some of the most crucial impacts to my character today. Animals like snakes, birds, lizards and crickets coming into my path or even annoying me to get my attention. Everyone and everything that happens along this journey has some impact and meaning in my life. And yes each one has motivated me or influences my character and the actions I take moving through my day. Those of you reading this, that follow me on social media and reach out to me and share your life with me, your interaction influences me too! When we are AWAKE, we realize the connection between everyone and everything in life. When we are awake, we see life in amazing colors.

Where I didn’t feel good enough,
I persevered into being more than enough!
Christina Ditzel

Difficulty of Awakening

It’s not always easy, but I’ve learned that I must follow my own intuition and stop asking for everyone’s opinions. I only listen to the people who help me hold more weight in my current belief system. Realize that each season will change and so will your thoughts, ideas, actions and people that influence you. Always, remember that saying that reminds us “some people are in our life for a season, some for a reason, and some for a lifetime”. Constantly tell yourself “I no longer have to conform to the world, but I am free to live and experience the world any way I choose”! Eventually, the weight of fear, doubt, scarcity, and most of all that “label” that says I am “Crazy” or “unrealistic”, will melted away! The universe is always coming to us in to take on the burdens, and declared truth to us that says things like “You are the exception! You’re allowed to be the exception!”

Accept the signs that are given to you through everything and everyone. They are humans that send quotes that say things like, “The person who gets the furthest, is the one who is willing to do and dare”. It’s the song on the radio that says “You will never stop fighting for me”. It’s a lady at the grocery store that watches me and listens to my conversation with my daughters and turns to me to say “your a good mom”! It’s the message I listen to in the morning that says something that inspires me to do something different that day. It is you who follow me and comment on my blogs, videos and social media platforms that keeps me writing. When you are AWAKE, the Divine is everywhere always showing you a way through everything.

“Ask and it will be given to you
Seek and you shall find
knock and the door will open”
Mathew 7:7

Nothing happens by chance

Here’s the thing, we can knock the dam door down, but if we don’t WAKE UP, we won’t see it! Even if it smacks us across the face! People who spoke life into me and helped me have the courage to proclaim the truth for my life, only came when I was open to it. I know now my purpose, but I could not have been “Found” if I stayed unconscious just going through the motions of life. Sleeping in my everyday life was unsatisfying and until I embraced my true self, and I embraced it, I couldn’t see the miracles that were already happening all around me!

So, wake up and be aware of the people that cross your path. Nothing happens by chance! Everything is moving you forward, but you have to be wake up to see it. Stop listening to the unconscious and listen to those little messengers that guide you and try to lead your way. When you are awake you’ll notice throughout our time here on earth, nothing happens by chance and EVERYTHING has a purpose.

So, to conclude this blog, be enough for yourself and embrace your “weird” and ignore the voices of those who live unconscious! Think of this, “The constant assurance that just because I believe in more, I have the right to become MORE” is true in every manner! This allows us to step into our purpose driven life! How uncanny, that book (“Purpose driven life”) is in my living room because it was given to me at the exact moment, in the exact time, I needed it. I believe in Divine events, so Divine events happen all the time. Believe in something big and big things will happen to you too!

I don’t believe anything happens by chance, but I do BELIEVE
Everything that happens is moving us forward into our chance
Christina Ditzel

There are constant reminders that the universe sends to guide us into our purpose. But if you are too busy taking on everyone else’s belief systems and listening to those who want to keep you in a state of unconsciousness (just going through the motions of life), you won’t hear that still small voice guiding your paths. Be Crazy enough to AWAKEN the brilliance that lives inside of you and believe in the brilliance that is YOU!

Life’s Ripple Effect Revealed

May 4, 2019October 5, 2025CHRISTINA DITZEL 21 Comments

By reading my content you enter into my Ripple Effect! Continue this journey and you will become the light in a world of darkness!

Welcome To My World…

Make Waves but Stay Humble!

“The Ripple Effect” is a subject I speak about towards the end of my book “Hot Mess to Totally Blessed”. The words and actions we use to express and articulate ourselves has an impact on others and makes waves in our society. In all our actions, whether they have a positive or negative effect, those vibes get sent off as energy into the people around us. “Having an influence on 1% of the world, has a much larger impact than we can even imagine”. So many of us are so caught up in our own current situations that we miss so much blessing in the physical realm, that is right in front of us.

For example, as I write this, I am experiencing a couple of struggles in my life. However, I refuse to allow a few of life’s obstacles to prevent me from experiencing the light while I am in a dark season. Life is nothing other than a never-ending ripple effect of events. The fact that I love writing and inspiring others, is what drives me. However, my awareness tells me that with every struggle, I get a little stronger. So, I try to embrace all the seasons of life with poise, purpose, and excitement. The only way to avoid dark pathways in life is when we become so aware that we realize the things that will eventually drag us down the rabbit hole. These are the things we think we can’t escape. I never want to disregard my dreams, goals or purpose driven life. Helping others find their “Zen” and live life full of Abundance, brings me true joy inside. Watching a person transform is amazing. And to know I was a part of that is like water to my soul.

So, just because life gets a little difficult in the moment, we should never allow our “ripple”, to be negative vibrations of dark energy. Don’t allow the difficult times in life prevent you from receiving true joy. Furthermore, don’t allow other people hold you back with their negativity because you can make an impact in the lives of others who desperately need you and your gifts. So, when people try to steer me in a different direction I have to sit with God and ask some questions. Why would I stop doing what I love just because life is happening around me right now? I just wouldn’t! I will always push forward so my ripple effect remains positive and effective. “The larger the ripple, the more I expand”. Besides, how shady would it be if I was living contrary to what I was trying to preach and teach in my blogs and books? I just wouldn’t do that! If I am honesty, I have done that and I can tell you from experience, it SUCKS! You lose yourself; you lose your energy, and you lose your focus! Today I sit and edit this article, because I don’t want to just “preach the Ripple Effect” I want to be the example of the “Ripple Effect”. In this very dark time in 2022 after covid, I am eager to prove that it is possible to shine a little light toward others, even when life seems a little darker than we had hoped for.

What is the Ripple Effect?

The Ripple Effect is When an event or action causes a continuous spread”. As stated above, this can be a positive or a negative effect. In today’s society, with all the social media sites, we witness this sort of thing happening all the time. People make an impact based on their words and actions in Reels, TikTok’s, YouTube videos, or other content they push out. Whether it’s the bully picking on someone or the hero who stands up to the bully, we all choose our battles and we spread a message based on those choices we make. So, what is a ripple effect? It’s a trend! Something that happens good or bad that spreads through the world we live in. The most exciting thing about the Ripple Effect is that we have the power to choose if it is Light or Darkness.

Why Mindfulness of The Ripple Effect is Important

As we live each day experiencing events in our workplace, at school, driving in traffic, on vacation, at church, or just in our everyday life; “Mindfulness of thyself”, is the difference between positive or negative impacts. The ripple effect we make daily causes a huge impact in our community and in our world!

It is as simple as one single person who makes a ripple effect of change with their words and actions.
It’s the decisions people make daily that turns a bad situation into an experience that leads to a life of abundance, or a life of suffering.
It is a sick child who spreads the word of Grace by giving back in her most tragic moment.
It is a single mom who struggles every day to put food on the table for her growing children, but still helps a stranger at the gas station.
It is the CEO of a company who promotes the guy who delivers mail to his floor; because he goes above and beyond with a smile on his face, even though he has a sick wife at home that he struggled to support.
It is a father that works 3 jobs just so he can buy his daughter her dream dress for prom.

All these actions cause not just a small impact on one person, but it created a ripple effect on multiple families. So, why the ripple effect? Why am I even writing an entire article about this topic? Because it is important to understand that our own mindfulness creates awareness of our own words and actions. And by being aware we can move through our day knowing that we have an impact in this world. We can choose to cause the people around us to either hurt or we can choose to help the people around us so they can be blessed to help others. Causing this ripple effect of positivity.

“Mindfulness of the ripple effect”, gives hope to the lost, it offers encouragement to the weak, it gives confidence to the insecure, and it provides healing to the sick. Most of all, it creates a continuous spread of light in the darkness of the world we live in. That is, if we choose to do it in a positive healthy, meaningful manner.

That is why I sit here today, in my own struggles and write about Ripple Effects. I love creating a ripple effect of light in the darkness! Instead of pondering on the things I can’t control in my own life, I leave it to GOD and continue to be a blessing in others life. Here in this moment with you, writing for my readers, my wish is that I offer you a small piece of hope, love, encouragement, and confidence! I would rather show you how easy it is to “change the mindset” by being the example. See most people show you their success after they have attained it. But I am no one! I am a struggling single mom, a cleaning lady, and only have about 267 followers on Instagram at the time I am writing this.

The Darkness That Blocks Our Light

See, although I published the book, created the podcast, write all the blogs, and continue to tweak and build programs that will help transform people’s lives, I have not seen any return on these things. In fact, all this time I’ve invested I expected to have sold many more of my books, had a successful podcast, have at least a few thousand followers, and have at least been asked to speak on one stage! But NO! All this work and I don’t have any of that! I sit back and watch scammers make millions off vulnerable people all day long. And yet here I am honest, genuine, hardworking and trying to make a simple living, and continue to struggle. So, I am very familiar with the Darkness that comes in and tries to block our light that we are so desperate to shine. Yes, it is frustrating to the core! We all want to be successful!

I get it!!! However, what keeps me going is the feeling I get when I read a comment on my blog, or someone reaches out to DM me for help & advice, or to share how something I said or did help them move mountains. By doing these things, without expectation of a reward, recognition, or money, I not only feel better about my own situation, but I am open and willing to helping others in the process. Every time I step out of my own selfish desires, I leave room to offer time and space to another human. And when I do that, I am blessed in just knowing I contributed my knowledge, gifts, and talents to help another soul. It makes the journey much more exciting in the midst of the storm.

Help Those Who Help Themselves So They Can Help Others

I don’t’ want to just exist in this world, I want people who cross paths with me to always find meaning behind our connection. Meeting and speaking to strangers can bring clarity in the mess and help us all live with a sense of joy, blessing, and abundance. Truth is, the only way to find clarity in our mess, is by opening up our mind and looking at life, and all things, through a new lens. Changing the vibrations of our own thoughts and actions always creates room for positive ripple effects.

How You Can Create a Ripple Effect and Succeed at Anything

Is there anything you enjoy doing? Is there something you feel compelled to do or say? Are you allowing the negative ripple effects of others ruin your chances of a happy, successful life? Well, my advice to you is “DO WHAT YOU WANT AND DO THE THINGS YOU ENJOY DOING! SAY WHAT YOU FEEL IN YOUR HEART, ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU SAY YOU WILL, AND NEVER HOLD BACK!”

In most cases, these deeper ideas and feelings we have at our very core, is our intuition and our inner self leading us to success and fulfillment. Sometimes, we may overstep and get ourselves into trouble, but we learn in those times of hardship and struggle. Sometimes the only thing that holds us back is our own self-doubt and other times we have to trust God/Univers to take care of the things we have no control of. There will be times that we have lessons to learn and other times we must offer encouragement and provide healing to our self, before we can learn to do that for others.

Can I just add that, as humans we must always live in a state of mind that remains teachable! If we are not willing to learn something new and make changes in our own life, how can we preach and teach others to change the circumstances in their lives? We can’t be the light if we’re living in darkness. If we can’t give ourselves grace in difficult times, how can we extend grace to others in their difficult times?

So today, I sit here as living proof that we each have the power to cause a ripple effect in some way. I am doing it right now as a single mom and “struggling” author and influencer. Yes, we can do it while we are in our own darkness, but we also have to be mindful of how we extend ourselves. We can’t preach what we are not living proof of! Whether we tell it through words in books and blogs, create a program, or through the stories of your own struggles and gains in life, remember; our words and action have the power to make a difference. YOU have the power to make a difference in your community and in your world. You make change by taking a hold of that silent nudge at the core of your soul and taking action. You spread ripple effects “through and to the world around you”. With every act of kindness or act of disrespect, you have the power to cause a ripple effect that will impact your life and the life of those around you. Through teachability (allowing others to shine a light on you), the light in the ripple effect can help you succeed at anything your heart desires.

Awareness & Clarity in Our Ripple Effect

So, what ripple effect are you creating? What change are you making in your 1% of the world? And what is the vibration of your ripple effect in your life? Positive or negative? Good or bad? Are you being the light in the darkness no matter how dark your world is? Because I am here to tell you, when you look outward towards others instead of inward at yourself, life feels so much brighter and feels a hell of lot lighter. When we clean the foggy lens that we look through, sometimes we can find clarity through our own struggles. Discovering that the chaos actually makes us stronger can offer healing and blessing. Sometimes, the struggle is there to guide you back on track, and although it may seem to have high and lows in the ripple every now and again, the reflection of light on the waters of the storm will guide you. I promise if you can get mindful and present with yourself in the moment, the effect of ripples in life, well, it is extraordinary!

If you need more advice in other areas of your life, please comment below, join me on social media, help create a ripple effect by grabbing my book “Hot mess to totally blessed” or one of my journals on Amazon Today. This would help me get my content out to you and others, while also help you become teachable and begin your journey into an abundant life filled with positive ripple effects. Living in abundance is not just a choice, it’s in the actions that follow our choices…
