Good morning! I am just so amazed with how God is strengthening me in my current journey to wellness. Because of Him I have peace, strength, comfort and confidence. Yesterday a friend called who is in the hospital following spine surgery and I was able to pray with her and encourage her and even share my in-progress testimony. When the call ended she sounded so much better than she did at the beginning. God is still working on me and using me for his will and purpose. And I’m so excited about it. And of course I will continue to give Him all the glory and honor. He is amazing. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Hello ladies. These hobbies all sound so amazing. I love gardening flowers Shavonne. I tried vegetables but it didn’t go well. I also like nature so hiking and walking or just sitting outside are all very therapeutic for me. I am also a sports fan. I haven’t met a sport I didn’t like. Right now I’m enjoying futball/soccer. ⚽️ 🤗 I also enjoy reading and listening to educational podcasts. Knowledge can be powerful. Other than that I just like music (gospel, jazz and old school R&B) and movies.

@Shavonne Rice here’s the thing about perennials - many only bloom once during their designated season and they’re done. Only a very few like roses continually bloom. And with bushes like azaleas or butterfly bushes, you have to be intentional at keeping them trimmed or they will take over. Even rose bushes can spread like crazy. So I have both perennials and annuals. Annuals keep blooming as long as you dead head them routinely. But of course the downside is you have to buy them again next year. If you’re interested, I can also share some helpful info about soil mixture for flowers in the ground and in pots that has helped me a lot. 😊

@Shavonne Rice you’ve got this. God is guiding and covering you in every way. Stay strong my Sister! 💪🏽🙌🏽❤️

Sometimes when we are going through trials or fear rejection, we might isolate ourselves as a way to protect our feelings. But isolation is a trick of the enemy. God wants us to tell our story, support each other and let the light of our faith shine always including in those tough times. That’s when we find out we are not alone and our sisters may also be going through some of the same things. We are a walking testimony. And we are love. Thank you Jesus! 🙌🏽 ❤️

When I commit to something, I’m pretty determined to stick to it. This includes relationships. And recently I’ve been trying to maintain a relationship that God knew wasn’t good for me. So situations came up that made me see clearly that I needed to walk away for my own spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and even financial health. The Holy Spirit convicted me to back away from a situation where I was being used because of my kindness and willingness to help someone in need. And I had to prepare myself for the fallout the first time I said “no” and I was not surprised when the person’s attitude towards me changed. Thank you God for wisdom and protection from my own kindness. Next time I’ll pray very intensely before helping. People are not always who they appear to be and of course take kindness as weakness.
