Promises to Comfort an Expectant Mom’s Heart

04/27/2020

There is nothing in this world like welcoming a new life into your family.

Absolutely nothing.

And while every labor and delivery story is special, giving birth in the middle of a global pandemic, well that’s a completely different experience.

With so many unknowns, what should be a joyous milestone can easily turn into a stressful and scary reality.

Whether you’re a first time or an experienced mom. Whether you’ll be delivering vaginally or via C-Section. Whether alone or with your support system. We can all find comfort in knowing God is not panicked or unprepared for this next chapter of our stories.

This may not have been a part of your original birthing plans, but there’s still a beautiful, indescribable ending waiting for you.

Soon you’ll be able to hear and touch and see God’s goodness perfectly packaged in your arms.

So if fear and doubt tries to creep into your heart, remind yourself that the same God who saw it fit to bless you with a child in this season, is the same God who will continually be by your side.

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.
