Episode 443 // When Delays Become Blessings: Seeing God’s Timing Clearly (“New Year, New Mercies” Devotional and Bible Study)

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 
Today is check-in day. So, let me ask you: 
How's your head? How's your heart? How's your soul?
In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus reminds us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love others as ourselves. But what does it mean to truly love ourselves in light of our relationship with Jesus?
As I reflect on Job’s faith and the friendships that shaped him, I’m reminded that who we spend time with has a profound impact on our lives. And Sis, that includes our relationship with God.
So here’s the challenge: before Friday, take a moment to check in with yourself.
If your mind feels scattered, maybe it’s time to find a therapist or start journaling.
If your heart is weary, reach out to a friend for some joy and laughter.
If your soul feels stagnant, maybe it’s time to dive into Scripture or start that Bible-in-a-year plan (it’s not too late!).
We’re in this together. Let’s walk in the fullness of God’s purpose!
📖 Today's Biblical Affirmation:“In Christ, I am growing daily. I walk in the fullness of God's purpose, bearing fruit for His glory.”
💡 Today’s Episode Includes:📖 Scripture Study: 2 Peter 1:5-8 - The power of supplementing our faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love.
📝 Devotional Reflection: New Year, New Mercies by Paul Tripp - A call to live beyond the moment and trust God’s eternal plan.
🙏 Prayer: Asking God for the grace to see our time and circumstances through the lens of eternity.

Episode 437 // Ready for a Heart Shift? How Gratitude Can Help You Embrace God’s Plan Fast [2024 RECAP #3]

Hey Sis!  🎙️
 
Today, we’re diving into the power of gratitude and its transformative impact on our spiritual lives—even when life feels messy.
We’ll reflect on God’s blessings, uncover truths from Mark 2, and wrap up our devotional series with Day 9 of Joyce Meyer’s Where is God in My Mess? Take a moment right now to thank the Lord for one thing He’s done in your life this week. No matter where you are, there’s always a reason to give thanks!
📖 Scripture Focus:Mark 2:4-5 & 10-12
Jesus shows us that healing isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual and eternal.
When we hear God speak, faith calls us to act, just as the paralyzed man did.
Your healing journey is also a testimony for others, pointing them to the Healer.
🌼 Devotional Discussion:Day 9: Count Your Blessings
Key Takeaway: A thankful heart unlocks joy, strengthens faith, and keeps the enemy at bay.
Philippians 4:6 reminds us to approach God with gratitude in every situation.
Gratitude transforms how we see our circumstances, releasing hope, faith, and joy.
✅ Practical Tip:Start a "Praise Report" list in your phone or journal. Reflecting on God's blessings helps you see His hand in your life, especially during hard times.
💌 Connect With Us:Want to continue the gratitude conversation? Join our ladies-only Facebook group where we’ll share praise reports and build each other up in faith. Don’t forget to invite your besties to join us!
🌟 Closing Encouragement:Sis, gratitude changes everything. Let’s choose thankfulness today and watch how God works in our hearts and lives. Love you, and I pray the rest of your day is the best of your day!
❤️ You Are Loved

Episode 435 // Finding Joy in Difficulty: Letting Faith Overcome Negativity [2024 RECAP #5]

Hey Sis!🎙️
Today, I want to share a weekly affirmation from John 16:33, declaring the peace we find in Christ, no matter the troubles we face. I also invite everyone to join the free community group, “Devotional Discussions for Christian Women,” where encouragement and connection flow daily.
Episode Highlights✨ Reflecting on Romans 8Today, we recap key takeaways from Romans 8, a passage rich with reassurance and strength:
God is for Us – He has chosen and called us, working in every situation for our good.
Gift of Eternity – Through the sacrifice of His Son, God offers us eternal life and an invitation to live with a Kingdom mindset.
Victory Through Christ – We don’t just overcome trials; we do so with overwhelming victory through the love of Christ, who gives us strength.
✨ Devotional Reflection: Where is God in My Mess?In today’s reading from Joyce Meyer’s devotional, “Where is God in my Mess,” we’re reminded that trials test our true attitudes. Diana encourages us to recognize moments when negative thoughts begin and, as Joyce says, “interrupt them” with godly positivity. Whether triggered by work, family, or daily interactions, we’re called to choose thoughts grounded in God’s promises rather than letting negativity take root.
Encouraging InsightsDiana reflects on “toxic positivity” and the challenges many of us face with negativity, especially if it’s been modeled by those around us. She encourages us to break cycles of negativity, instead choosing to speak life and align our attitudes with God’s truth.
Joyce’s Five Tips for Staying Positive in TrialsDiana discusses her favorite of Joyce Meyer’s practical advice, including:
Maintain a positive attitude, even in difficult times.
Remember, this too shall pass.
Avoid making major decisions in the midst of turmoil.
Seek God’s presence constantly for comfort and guidance.
Keep things in perspective to help manage emotions and stay focused on God’s promises.
💡 Community InvitationJoin Diana and other sisters in faith in our free Facebook group, "Devotional Discussions for Christian Women." It’s a warm, supportive community where women grow together in their faith journey.
 
May the rest of your day be the best of your day 💕 
 
❤️ You Are Loved
