✍🏽 My Reflection Lesson 2: Mindset & Renewal Question 1: What thoughts have been shaping my mindset lately? Lately, my thoughts have been focused on how I am going to remain in the posture God has called me to in this season. I am learning how to let Him guide me through what feels like a Martha season, with so much to do and so many responsibilities pulling at my attention. In the midst of it all, I am becoming more aware of how important it is to renew my mind daily with God’s Word. I see how easily my thoughts can drift if I’m not intentional. Each day requires me to take my thoughts captive, stay grounded in faith, and remember that God is present even in the busyness. Question 2: Are there thoughts I’ve been carrying that do not align with God’s truth? Every now and then, the thought comes up asking if I can truly do what God said I can do. I question whether I will walk this out in excellence or steward this season the way He desires. When those thoughts surface, I am reminded that this journey is not about my strength or my ability. It is about God getting the glory. He would not have called me if He had not already equipped me. Remembering that truth helps quiet the doubt and refocus my heart. Question 3: What might renewal look like for me in this season? Renewal in this season looks like staying the course and keeping God first. It means not allowing the spirit of sloth to take root, even on days when I feel tired or stretched. Renewal also looks like balance, understanding when I need to be Martha and when I need to be Mary. Choosing the better thing means intentionally renewing my mind each day through God’s Word. It looks like reading a Scripture or two, meditating on it, and allowing His truth to realign my thoughts so that my spirit stays anchored in Him. Shay’s Voice…..A Quiet Whisper 💜

✍🏽 My Reflection Lesson 1: Reset & Renew Question 1: What feels heavy that God may be asking me to release? I feel like God is asking me to let go of worry especially the kind of worry that tries to pull me into things beyond my control. As a parent, navigating emotions, stress, and uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Part of me says, that’s my baby, and another part reminds me that I am a vessel and that my children first belong to God. He formed them in my womb. He knew them before I did. And because of that, He knows the outcome far greater than I ever could. That truth gives me hope. It helps me have faith even on the days when I feel like my parenting isn’t enough or that I’m getting it wrong. God always sends reminders that with Him, I can do the impossible and that all things truly do work together for His good. Question 2: Where do I need renewal in my thoughts, faith, or rest? I see that my thoughts need to be taken captive especially when the enemy tries to play the same movie over and over in my mind. I’m learning that when I express my thoughts honestly and let God know how I’m feeling, He sees me through. He shows me how to get through anything by trusting Him. The enemy tries to keep me bound by fear and repetition, but God says no. He reminds me that I am not stuck, not powerless, and not alone. Renewal for me looks like trusting God with my thoughts, not holding them in silence, and allowing Him to lead me forward one step at a time. Shay’s Voice…..A Quiet Whisper 💜
