Wave-ring Pt. 1

February 20, 2026February 20, 2026 Kris Joi

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For He that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Prayer: Father God in the name of Jesus, thank you. As we enter into your gates with thanksgiving and your courts with praise we bless your name. For you alone are worthy of worship. All of the other gods are works of men but You Lord are the Most High, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Elohim, El Shaddai, El Elyon. Who can stand before you and what can stand against you? And if God be for us who can stand against us? NOBODY/ NO THING is greater than you. Amen.

Hey Kings 👑Kids,

I pray this finds you well. 🙏🏽Be reminded all is well. In spite of what we face in this world Jesus said to take heart He overcame the world. He is our blessed assurance. When something is assured it’s guaranteed and certified. The bible says this about God’s word (See Isaiah 55:11). In this we put our confident hope. He cannot lie nor fail, 🙌🏽 even when we do. I’m realizing because GOD is so BIG that we in our limited thinking and temporal frame can’t fully imagine just how big He is. 🤯And even this He is aware of, as He made us from clay. Clay has no form or shape, it’s lifeless, and in itself is nothing but dirt/soil.

I think sometimes it’s easy for us to forget this because we have been given so many wonderful gifts. 🎁 Our natural abilities sometimes get in the way of what God really wants to do in our lives. It is not until we surrender everything we think we know, have, and are that we tap into the fullness of who God created us to be. 🪞The word says we were created in His likeness and image (resemblance). Just as a child favors their parents in the natural, God wants us to be like Him in appearance, word, and actions. Contrary to popular belief this is done from the inside out. No outward performance can compare to true inward change.

The bible says be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds. 🧠We are born into this world with all kinds of bad ways/habits, and as we grow older we often pick up even more. This is until we are trained in righteousness, I talked about what this looks like in my last post towards the end. In which we talked about learning, serving, and seeking 👀♥️the Fathers heart. A disciple is a learner, pupil, or student. This is what God desires from us. God gave us discipleship as a means of our growth and development. God gives us teachers after His heart to walk us through this process. 👩🏽‍🏫👨‍🏫Have you found a good church home yet? If so great and if not don’t wait, do it like your life is dependent upon it (it is!).

We are living during evil times and there is safety from ⛔️hurt, harm, and danger inside the will of God. God gave us this as one of his many promises. When we abide in Him, He is with us and for us. On the contrary there are enemies who desire to steal, kill, and destroy this and all the other promises that God has given us. 👁️We need to be watchful (woke, alert), prayerful, and connected to other people who are also alert and praying. ⚠️Caution: all prayer is not created equal. Just because someone prays something doesn’t mean God will answer it, it has to be aligned. We can talk about this later.

The first thing required for alignment is faith. ✝️The bible says we are saved through faith by grace. We talked about grace in previous posts also. Remember He gives grace to the humble. Humility is the prerequisite for every good thing from God. 🙇🏽‍♀️🙇Humility says it doesn’t matter what I want or think. I want to know who God is, what He wants, and what He thinks. And do it. The bible says if we lift God up He will draw us close to Him. This is what He ultimately wants from us all. 🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️

Now let’s get back to faith. Faith is trust, confidence, and assurance. The word says that faith comes by hearing 👂🏽and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:7). This is another reason why going to church to hear the word of God is important. If we believe in our heart and confess 🗣️with our mouth that Jesus is Lord we will be saved (see Romans 10:9). As we are going through our salvation journey no matter where we are, the word of God takes us from glory to glory and faith to faith. 🛑Let’s stop here and think it over. 💭

✋🏽Selah: Pause and reflect on where you are in your journey of life. Where have you come from? Where do you want to be? What has God shown you concerning your future? Are you on track (walking & talking with God daily)? Have you heard God’s voice? In what ways?

XOXO 😘

E. Go (Ripe Harvest pt.3)

February 1, 2026January 31, 2026 Kris Joi

Hey Ya’ll,

Let's Pray. 🙏🏽 Father God in the name of Jesus thank you for a new day, another chance to give you glory, and for being everything we could ever need. Keep your hand of favor upon us. And in seasons where we find ourselves outside your good graces thank you for a way of return. Thank you for unconditional ♥️love, ever enduring mercy, and sufficient grace. In Jesus name Amen.

Ehhh. Have you ever had a moment where you have so much to say that you don’t know what to say or where to start? Well that’s where i’m at right now in this moment. I’m reminded of a post I did before where I talked about Holy Spirit making groanings 😩for us (see bible Romans 8:26). So after a women carries a child for 9 months she goes into labor, and it’s not only hard, but painful. You may be wondering, sis what does that have to do with anything you’re talking about? Well natural birth and spiritual birthing are a lot alike. 🗣️Let’s talk a little about spiritual birthing.

When God gives you an 💡idea, assignment, word, and purpose it’s liken to a seed. He places it in your heart/mind to receive water and nutrients so that it grows. And depending on the type of seed it is it will grow and produce after its own kind (when tended to properly). This is the same process in natural birthing. Basic biology says cows produce cows, chickens produce chickens, and a 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒man & women produce a boy or girl. This process is called the reproduction process. In order that offspring would be brought forth.

For the sake of time & space I just want to focus on offspring (Read all Colossians 1 w/ focus on verses 10-20). 📖 Because God is VERY concerned with what we produce. In fact He has entrusted us to take care of that/those which He has given us. Contrary to popular belief we are not self made. Our life really isn’t our own, and neither are the things we own. You may think how is that? That’s my car, my house, my children, my money. Just as the saying goes my, my, my. 😨That’s exactly how I feel about anyone who believes and trusts in themself as self made. Wake up call. If God decided to not wake you up today, you would be as they say now a days unalived.

But so many of us do what we want to, say what we want to, go where we want to. This generation is a DIY (do it yourself) kind of culture/society. Well friend that’s ok for an arts & craft project but not for your life. It’s really not a game, playing russian roulette and uno with your life is crazy. 😵‍💫I don’t say this to scare anyone, but it’s dangerous out here in these streets ya’ll and the bible says it’s going to get worse. Now is high time. Get in church, get in God, read your bible, build a relationship with God. Come as you are (He does not care about your bad ways) just don’t stay as you are. Let God help you!🙌🏽

I’m speaking from experience. I tried living life my way long enough to know. IT DOES NOT LEAD TO LIFE. 🛑Being stubborn, mean, disobedient, arrogant, high, and mighty will lead to destruction, disaster, and death. We don’t get to live how we want and think that everything is going to be ok. 🚷No. That’s not how this works. We follow God and then everything is going to be ok. I speak this way because I care about your life and future. Whatever’s blocking YOU from God LET IT GO!

I always hear 👂🏽 people talk about Grace. Well His grace is sufficient but not unlimited. Remember He gives grace to the humble. If we are lifted up in pride (what we want) we won’t receive grace (unmerited favor). The only requirement is humility. No ego’s allowed. You will be surprised sometimes it takes a good test/trial to reveal just how out of alignment we are. Think of it this way. 🦴If your bone is out of place it may be painful to pop it back in place initially. But short term pain beats long term pain. Imagine walking around like that forever and never taking the necessary steps to recover. OUCH. Let’s end in scripture.

Hebrews 12:11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening– it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. (New Living Translation)

Peace & Love

Holly-Weird🔥 Vs. Holy Wood🪵

December 26, 2024December 26, 2024 Kris Joi

Jeremiah 2:21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

Joel 1: 14 Santify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord.

Genesis 4: 3-7 And in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Leviticus 10:1-2 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. 2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord

Greetings in Grace Beloved, 🥰

Merry Christmas 🎁 & Happy Holy Days to you & yours! I am really excited about today’s post, as it is so fitting for the time & season we are in. I love when Papa(Father) God impresses upon my heart ♥️ to receive of the hidden manna/word that is only for those who are His. And my friend that(His) is my greatest title in this season, that i’m wearing as a badge of honor. In a time where everyone wants to be somebody of “great recognition” I find myself groaning 😩and beckoning unto God often, God I just want you. Excuse me in my folly. But my dear friend not only for myself do I inward & outwardly groan, but for you also (See 2 Corin 11:1-2).

What I’m saying is if you happen to be one of my nearest & dearest I fail not to make mention of you! And if you would like to be added to that list, I am open and taking requests 😀! On that note let’s pray. Father in the name of Jesus, I thank, praise, and acknowledge you as Lord & Savior. Touch whomever is reading this letter with your tender loving kindness and mercies that fail not. Renew us on this day and everyday to come. Let us not be conformed to this world but let us be transformed by the renewing of the mind. 🧠We know that Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Give them eyes that see & ears that hear in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. 🙏🏽 🙏🏼

So lately God has been having me to be watchful and prayerful concerning several things and an elect people (His & my Beloveds 🙂). It’s both a privilege and an honor. In addition to those that I watch for, He has been having me to petition for others, in particular those on elevated platforms. This includes leaders (spiritual & natural), “celebrities”, and authority figures (ie, police, administrators, etc.). If you know me you know that there is a call/burden on my life in particular for music ministry/industry. In fact I’d say my top three “sectors” of burden/influence would be Business (Kingdom & Earthly), Education, and Arts & Entertainment. Family is also another but for the sake of time & space we revisit that next time (hopefully).

If you watch the news, social media, and/or listen 👂🏽 to the conversations of the “elite & common” you know that there has been a lot of controversy, confusion, and change all around us. And if you have any discernment you are aware 👀that the things we are experiencing in today’s times are not normal. As the bible warns we are in end times and evil men & seducers are getting worse & worse (see 2 Timothy 3). Not only in the world but even in the church, designed to be the household of faith & prayer. And nobody wants to get to the root of it, but more so just skimming the surface in hopes of stirring up the latest greatest controversy. In the words of comedian Katt Williams “Influenceless Influencers, A time/place where anybody can be anything”. Sadness. 😔

Beloved the world and its systems will always be what it is, but when we can’t count on the church ⛪️(God’s chosen) to be the church according to His design, we are in trouble. I heard someone say they really couldn’t tell the difference between the gospel industry and the worldly/secular industry. And unfortunately I understand. Please don’t take this out of context. 🛑 I am not one who endorses hypocritical religion. I’m a Son/Saint saved by THE Son/Savior, our Lord Jesus✝️ Christ. I watch movies, listen to different music genres, wear pants & of course a cute dress or skirt occasionally, and will/have gone into dark places to be a light. Just like Jesus. Except I’m not 100% devine. Only HE IS!

Nevertheless, as a called out & chosen one it is my responsibility to live & speak THE TRUTH. Even when it’s not popular or well received. 🤷🏽‍♀️Remember, it came to me first. So if I have to make the adjustments, nobody is exempt. In fact I am not really your friend beloved if I can’t be honest with you. Why would I want someone I love to be “caught lackin” in any kind of way? Back to topic. I was 👁️watching some recent & older Youtube videos & magazine articles, and was horrified (not literally) as to what we consider great. The people, places, platforms, purposes, etc. that we celebrate are catastrophic and gross. I cringe as I scroll through the common.

Have you ever experienced something or someone strange, weird, off? Kind of disconnected from reality. Maybe that was you & I at some point in time? ⚠️Warning, one may experience behaviors and words that are outrageously outlandish. Well at least to the uncommon man. In fact the word strange translates, outlandish, adulterous, alien, heathendom, queer, unnatural, deviant, creepy, off-center, etc. But for some reason it’s accepted as greatness to most (See Isaiah 5:20). How? Why? When? Where? Who? Friend, we really need to start asking ourselves some questions. 🤔Examining ourselves, those we are connected to, our surroundings, and the word of God in order to see if we have alignment. If not we ought to Repent (change). Remember, we can’t change ourselves but God can (search posts on repentance).

Let’s not act as if God doesn’t see or know. He is all seeing, all knowing, and all places at all times (See Psalm 139). Not only does He see, know, Be, but He will repay. God is not mocked, a man will reap 🌱what he sows (See Galatians 6:7-9). Let’s take some time to reflect & write.

R&W Exercise 💭📝

What have I been watching, hearing, doing lately good & not so good? How does this align or misalign with the word of God (you can search scriptures by topic or consult a spiritual advisor, including us here at GC INK.)? Where do I want to go in this life & after? Why? Who are my biggest influencers? Consider these things and more as led by God. Ask God for direction & discipline to carry out His desires for your life.

In closing I want to encourage us to continue in this reflection into the new year. Consider fasting from food & distractions for 🕰️24 to 72 hours to reset and ready ourselves for the new season/year. Feel free to reach out and connect with us for an abundance of resources to assist you in this, as consecration 🙇🏽‍♀️and celebration🥳 is who we are and what we do. Grace, Peace, and Love Be Unto You & Yours! And until next time fare-well for now.

Signed, GC K. Joi XOXO 😘

Happy Holidays Challenge!

November 26, 2024January 10, 2026 Kris Joi

We are officially a month away from Christ-mas and 3 days away from Thanks-giving. And y’all i’m finally in my holiday celebration mode (Christmas playlist in full effect as we speak!!). This has been a rough season for many of us and let me just encourage you… God’s not finished with US yet. Keep hope alive and give it ALL to our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ! The REE-SON FOR THIS WONDER-FULL HOLI-DAYS SEE-SON!

Heyyy Ladies & Gents,

So before 2024 ends it was impressed upon my heart ❤️ to take some time to hone in on the things this time of year is all about: Thankfulness, Gratitude, Giving, More Christ (Christ-Mas), Holiness/Sacredness, Love, Peace, Joy, Fruitfulness, Family, Friends, Food, Fun, Celebration, Gathering, Reflection, Evaluation, Growth, Goals, Newness/Freshness, Beauty, Wonder, Praise&Worship, The Word, and (if y’all anything like me) some good music, cute clothes, and pretty decorations (#mood #period 🤩)!

And when I say it all came in like a flood how eternally grateful I am to God for every season i’ve lived thus far, it’s an understatement! We ARE truly BLESSED 🥹! Some of you may say but you don’t know what i’m going through. My friend, I can’t say that I fully know what you’re up against but I just want to 🧠re-mind you. God LOVES US SOOO MUCH, has so many great things in store, and wants to re-store every part of our broke💔 hearts & lives. Life brings with it great pain, but God is still in control! Keep your head up 🆙 and Smile!🙂

On that note, this week i’ll be doing 7 days of Thanks + Giving ( feel free to do the same and share if you’re #GCINSPIRED24 ). Seven 7️⃣ is the number of completion and I want to share & show how completely grateful I am for YOU! YES YOU! If we ever crossed 🚶🚶🏽‍♀️🚶‍♂️paths in real life or 💻virtually, I just want you to know you inspire me! Your strength, your story, your glow 🌟up, your 😍beauty, your 🦄creativity, and MORE! Also stay tuned for a new divinely inspired post on Nov. 30th, after the Thanksgiving holiday.

You may ask, what is 7 day of Thanks + Giving, and how do I do it? Well first I want you to take some time to reflect 🤔on what you have to be grateful for. If you need some help, ask God to bring it to your remembrance. Ask Him to reveal 👁️❤️to you all the times He was with you and for you. Even when we are unfaithful, HE YET REMAINS FAITHFUL! (See bible verse 2 Timothy 2:13).

Caution! ⚠️ This reflection may cause feelings of shame, grief, feelings of unworthiness, even heart ache. Transparent moment, these feelings are warranted. We are imperfect/flawed humans who need a Savior. But we can rejoice in knowing that we have ONE✝️! God’s LOVE ❤️ COVERS US no matter what we do or where we are. His Grace, Love, and Mercy is there/here to restore us to His original plan for our lives (GREATNESS)!

If you want someone to talk to, pray with you, and stand with you on this journey of life, PLEASE reach out to us via message. This can be through the message/contact section ⬆️above, comment section ⬇️below, text message💬 if you currently have my/our number, or 📧email.

On that note, the 7 Days Of Thanks + Giving Glam Chichallenge 💋 STARTS TODAY. November 25th through December 1st 2024. And this is how it works: After we reflect on what we’re thankful for, and ask God for forgiveness for all the times we were not, LET’S have a little FUN! 🤩 Here’s the challenge. Each day take some time to show God, Others, and Even Yourself Gratitude. Simple Right? I don’t wanna limit your creativity by telling you how to do that. Pray about it! Let Him Lead You!
