"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” Matthew 12:30. . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries
What I focus on this week will expand thus I will focus on things that are good, just, of good report, positive and holy. . . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries
Live by the Spirit’s Power "So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses." Galatians 5:16-18 New Living Translation (NLT) . . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries
Intentional living is the best way to live. . . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries
Christ is risen. Because of this when things begin to disintegrate in your life, you can turn to Him to reestablish rest and peace within your heart. There really is nothing in this life, in your relationships, careers, health and responsibilities that can overcome you or steal your peace completely...all because He lives! #sugarforyourheart #devotion #easter #sfyh #devotion #spiritualwellness #positiveliving
This is for the women who choose joy daily amidst circumstances that aren’t the most promising. This is for the women who find their value in Christ...not in their jobs, efforts, accomplishments or relationships. This is for the women who are shifting the narrative that strong women can’t be vulnerable women. This is for the women who continue to lift other women up because they know far too well what it feels like to be taken down and debased by other women. This is for the women who are familiar with the stories of women in the Bible and trust the God that kept those women to keep them as well. This is for the women are are trusting God every step of the way even when their hearts tell them otherwise. We need you. We appreciate you. Happy International Women’s Day! . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmation #personaldevelopment #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries #jesusyatoosweet #internationalwomensday #womansday
End the evening in meaningful reflection Write a praise only prayer, thanking God for who He is and for never lying to you, forsaking or failing you. You may choose to recount to a specific situation and give glory for the revelation or manifestation that took place because of God's faithfulness to you.
I am holding on to the promise that great is your faithfulness.
Lord, we cling to Your every word. You will not fail us or fail to complete that which you promised us. Give us enough maturity to trust Your word when everything around us seems like You may have forgotten Your promise to us. Give us the wisdom not to class you in a category like everyone else who has lied to us or let us down. . . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #positivethinking #affirmations #affirmation #personaldevelopment #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries #jesusyatoosweet
Tool to Stay Sweet It is easy to criticize yourself when you feel like your personal mistakes or imperfections are robbing you of being who God has called you to be. Speaking negatively to yourself does nothing good for you. It makes you feel worse about yourself and your situation and strengthens the neural pathways in your brain that lead you to dwelling and remain stuck in negative thoughts, habits and patterns. Today any time, you catch yourself speaking negatively to yourself, interrupt your negative self-talk or thoughts with kinder self-talk and thoughts. It wouldn’t be easy or comfortable at first but it is necessary to take good care of yourself, even when things don’t seem to be going well. #justlikeEve #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #affirmations #affirmation #personaldevelopment #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries #jesusyatoosweet
Sincere words from the heart from a modern-day Eve. . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #affirmations #affirmation #personaldevelopment #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries #jesusyatoosweet
Journal Prompt Complete the following prompt in your journal or on your smartphone: In what area of your life can you identify with Eve? What traces of God’s goodness can you identify in your life in spite of your mistakes or imperfections? #justlikeEve #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #affirmations #affirmation #personaldevelopment #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries #jesusyatoosweet
#JustlikeEve #devotion #christian #internationalwomensday #womenforJesus Application 1: How many times have our belief in distorted truths caused us to disobey God? Distorted truths rob us of embracing who God says we are and of our fellowship with Him. They seem rational within the moment but they lead us to commit acts or say things that destroy the blessings that God has given to us. For Eve, it was her relationship with God as well as the Garden. For us, it may be our relationships, opportunities or ministries. Today, I want you to explore with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the distorted truths that you have believed instead of the word of God. Application 2: I am also impressed that Eve was the first woman to be a woman and a mother. She did not have a role model or another woman to teach her how to fully embrace her role. Still, even without a model or an example, God placed all the power in Eve to fully function in her role as helpmeet to Adam. Eve was also shown the way by completely depending on God to teach her how to live, how to love, how to cope, how to manage, how to overcome, even without any examples or guides around her. There are so many roles that many of us women are called to live out without adequate experience, holy examples or divine models. Still God, expects us to live within our duties and roles faithfully and fully. We can only function well and faithfully, when we completely depend on Him, surrender ourselves daily and/or listen to the impressions of the Holy Spirit. Application 3: And how can we forget that Eve was fully human. There are times when I stress myself out unnecessarily because I become focused on being the perfect girlfriend, perfect coworker, perfect sister, perfect counselor, only to fall short because...I am fully human. I’ve learnt that one of the first steps to surrendering ourselves to God is embracing that we are not perfect, we never will be and anything that is good within us or of us, comes from a strong dependence on God.
Scripture “Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." Genesis 3:13 Thought God saw the incompleteness of Adam and created Eve with ethereal beauty and dignified purpose. She was completely human, perfect and holy and created without sin. Our sweet girl, Eve was Adam’s equal who shared in the beauty of creation. But as she was the first woman and mother on earth, she also was the first to sin after being beguiled by the snake - Satan. Eve listened to the serpent who distorted the truth regarding the forbidden fruit and her belief in the sweet lies of Satan led her to do the thing that God had commanded her not to do. . . . . . #sfyh #sugarforyourheart #mentalwellness #spiritualwellness #emotionalwellness #instagood #happy #peace #womenwhoblog #browngirlbloggers #christian #wellwateredwomen #bible #devotion #motivation #positiveliving #affirmations #affirmation #personaldevelopment #intentionalliving #purposefulliving #Godschild #thankyou #yearonpurpose #christiantherapist #counselor #aliveinChrist #dependingonJesus #devotionalseries #jesusyatoosweet
