    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.

    Celebrating the BIG ONE!

    10/19/2016
    Can you believe it’s been one year since the launch of This Is Her Journey? I know, I can’t! But exactly one year ago today, I pressed the live button on my blog site and I haven’t slept the same since then.
     
    The past year has been filled with many highs and just as many shall we say, faith-building moments.
     
    With your continued support, the blog has evolved and become so much more than I originally envisioned.
     
    In recent months, I started the Girl Talk Book Club and have been able to connect and share with women as far away as Nigeria, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
     
    Talk about mind blowing!

    When You’re Forced To Walk Away

    06/30/2016

    “[Our daughter’s] going to be a big sister… and…”  

    I thought this would be another routine visit to my ex’s place, except that day turned out to be anything but normal.

    For the past five years, being the only woman to give birth to his child was my emotional safety net. It was a distinction no one else had.

    But with one short sentence, my entire world came crashing down.

    Honestly, I couldn’t process anything else my ex said after hearing those words. Mentally, it was as though I’d been hit by a Mack truck and lied waiting for the coroner to collect my lifeless body.

    Granted, physically we hadn’t been together for quite some time.  Yet emotionally, there was very much an attachment there.

    5 Steps To Help You Resist Sexual Sin

    06/09/2016

    After sharing “Single, Saved, & Struggling” a lot of people asked how I became “so strong”. Privately, readers shared how they too struggle with sexual sin and are wanting to experience victory in that area of their relationship with God.

    So today I’m sharing five steps that can help you resist sexual sin.

    For the record, I don’t consider myself strong.  This is still a struggle and I am still 100% dependent on God for His help.

    Over the years I learnt different techniques to resist the temptation.

    Some of the steps you may know already.  And none of them are difficult.  They will however, require a lot of practice and your complete commitment.

    I pray that as you incorporate these steps into your journey, you will begin enjoying life – single, saved, and no longer struggling!
