She Reads Truth - journal/devotional

I recently started doing a journal devotional through She Reads Truth. I am absolutely loving it and I am getting so much out of it.

Over the past two years, I have made it my challenge to have a quiet-time every day.  My journey has brought me along this path of discovering that my relationship with the Lord goes hand-in-hand with my happiness.  I have come to acknowledge that without my faith, depression would have eaten me alive. 

Sometimes it is still a struggle to knock the depressive thoughts about myself completely.  Depression likes to linger and anxiety still unwelcomely comes and goes, but neither of them shall wage another war against me so long as I put on the armor of God daily.  That's what my quiet-time is all about, preparation and strengthening for the day ahead.

With She Reads Truth, it's a combination of learning His word, expressing our creativity, and sharing our testimonies with other people like us.  The study is called "Soul Detox" and it holds a valuable lesson in learning how to rid ourselves of the toxic thoughts that prevent us from seeing and doing God's will for our lives.  Check it out on the website or on the Twitter and/or Instagram hashtag #SheReadsTruth. 

Join us!

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”  

-Marilyn Monroe-

Happy Birthday Norma Jean!

You brilliant, beautiful, strong woman.

You'll always inspire me.
