    Moving On: 10 Scriptures to Help Let Go of Your Past

    06/15/2019

    Have you ever played the “what if” game?

    You know, what if things worked out with (insert name of random ex here)?

    What if I made the wrong decision in switching jobs?

    What if I waited to do things God’s way?

    What if I missed my only chance to pursue my dreams?

    I hate playing the what if game, because I always end up loosing:

    I lose my peace. I lose my joy. I lose hours of sleep. I lose it all when my mind starts wandering into the endless possibility of what ifs.

    I’m guessing you’ve had your share of losses playing the what if game as well.

    Letting go of the past, no matter how dysfunctional or damaging it may have been, is never an easy process…even for us super-faith girls.

    Maintaining Your Salvation When Life Stresses You Out

    10/25/2017

    Have you ever seen the Snickers commercials?  You know the ones from the “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” campaign? Well, that’s exactly how I am when life gets stressful and I am feeling completely overwhelmed.

    When things in my world get too chaotic, I’m no where near to being a sweetly saved, compassionate, and caring person.

    Family, friends, co-workers, even strangers – they all get my I just want to be left alone, passive aggressive cold shoulder. 

    That is until the Holy Spirit pulls me back from morphing into someone I am not proud of.

    One Word that Changed Mother’s Day For Me

    05/11/2017

    Written by Tanisha Shanee exclusively for This Is Her Journey

    May: The month where April showers blossoms May flowers. The month for new beginnings. And also the month where children celebrate their mothers.

    For the last six years, this month has taken on a whole new meaning. What is supposed to be an exciting and wonderful season has turned into a very emotional time for me.

    Why is Mother’s Day so emotional for me?

    Well, I do have my mother with me, I thank the Lord, Jesus Christ for that. She is a beautiful, strong woman who gave birth to two beautiful women.

    But, for some women like me, even though we have our mothers in our lives, we still feel pain on this day because of one word: MISCARRIAGE.

    Is God Listening?

    04/03/2017

    “But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me.” Psalm 66:19-20
    ‭‭

    Ever wonder if God is listening to your prayers? Me too!

    Even though I grew up in a Christian home and have been in church for most of my life, there are times when I struggle with doubt:

    Is God listening to me?

    Will this prayer make a difference?

    Does it make sense to pray about this situation?

    Will this prayer work coming from me…or should I ask someone more spiritually strong to pray for me, this way God will answer?

    But recently I’ve been experiencing God’s answers in the strangest way.
