I wanted to focus on walking in awareness of the Holy Spirit. After the classes for this semester I have discover what it truly means to be the salt and light of the earth. At this point in my life when I do go to work it feels very heavy and it feels like I can't hear from God as strongly as I do in church but I know that is not the case at all. I really want to focus on spending more time in the Lords presence so that I personally can be more aware of the Holy Spirits tugs and nudges in a corporate setting. There have been times where I was at work and becuase it is a very competitive industry I thought my worth came from awards and certifications and leader boards but now that I have learned where my identity truly comes from I finally feel secure. That being said I think that by walking in depper awareness and relationship with the Holy Spirit he will help to guide, instruct and teach me on what to say and when to say it when I am in corporate and non-coprate settings.

THe most important details and declarations that I added to it was about stepping into my identity and scriptures about God's love. I think one thing I have learned from this course it not only my identity but that I don't have to perform for God and that he loves me as I am now. That he loves me and is well pleased with me now. It really does bring joyful tears to my eyes when i deeply meditate on or think about how muc hhe loves me and how I am a child of God. I would hear that all the time but now that I understand what that means and I'm actually living it in it means so much more now than before.

I have taken on journaling and this has helped me tremendously! There have been some things I have talked to the Lord about that were in my subconscious and while talking to him he brought those things back to my conscious mind so that he could heal them becuase honestly it was affecting my identity. Since the jornaling took place and I started taking the material from this class home and applying it ti my life the Lord has given me words for iother people and honestly it feels amazing to do so. To encourage others and to spread the love the Lord gives to all of us is so amazing to me. The Lord has also spoken to me multple times about my own personal life the has caused me to grow as well. This class has truly blessed me and I defentily want to continue apply what we learned in this class to my every day life.

I feel pretty confident! On a scale from 1-10 I would say a 7. I think the more I spend time with God the clearer I can hear his voice. One way I can practically grow in this area I would say definitely spending time in his presence daily and when prompted pause in the moment. I think sometimes we get so caught up in go go go that it can be hard to hear Gods voice without pausing sometimes.

The practice that really helped me the most was practicing daily re-orientation. I have discovered that for some reason it’s very difficult to give complete control to God but when I do my daily re-presentation it places my focus back on him and brings me peace. When I say out loud “God is God and I am not” it’s scary at first but the. I realize that means I don’t have to strive or do much I just have to receive and abide in him through your the day. What I am noticing is happening to my mindset or lifestyle is that it feels like my flesh or physical kind is catching up to my spirit. For an example in Psalm 139:14 it’s talks about how we are fearfully and wonderfully made that that the Lord words are wonderful and my soul knows it. To me I feel like that’s exactly what I’m experiencing. My soul knew the whole time what my true identity was but my mind did not. It’s like the Lord is restoring my true identity.
