Let them hear your voice Let them feel your touch Let them see your goodness, In Jesus’ name! Amen!” When circumstances are beyond my control, I am poised to release trust in God for His divine protection and wisdom. What is my call to action? Praise Him. photo credit: @heykorina_ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1642874602916-NCL2DSXNPI1272ALQ9WG/Five+loaves+and+two+fishes.jpg This week's Inspiration - When looking for a miracle, stop looking down at what you have before you. Start looking up to Heaven, just as Jesus did that day. He knew where the miracle was coming from, He knew where the abundance was coming from, that faithful supply of more than enough. He looked up towards His Father, Jehovah Jireh to provide exceedingly and abundantly more! The same God that gave on that day is the same God we serve today and He’s not running short on miracles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1642874410391-GMLPATRAFLRTFIZJVIOU/Gate.jpg This week's Inspiration Today, that gateway of hope is right here, right now. All we have to do is take that step through it. Breakthrough is just on the other side. I am so grateful for His faithfulness! Praise God! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1642874219916-7D12KUEVVS40GD3D61KX/Rain.jpg This week's Inspiration - The definition of RESTORED is to return (someone or something) to a former condition, place, or position. This is my given word for this year. At first glance, I am so excited for this word and all God will do through it. I also know it will bring it’s fair share of growth. The key is in the knowing that above all else, He will faithfully provide and I will continue to say “yes, Lord.” Two questions for you today: What’s your word for this year? What will God have for you on the other side of your “YES”? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1640107278053-K2JI8QYWNZXAEQAARXNH/Shephards.jpg This week's Inspiration The Shephards gave no concern or thought to what would happen to their flocks, or what their families or friends would think. There was no question or hesitation, they just responded immediately to God’s call and said “Yes, Lord.” These men, the Shephards were the first to share the good news of Jesus! The greatest gift, ever! Hallelujah! All glory to God! Merry Christmas! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1639679194623-9NZJNWAPT8KQLWEV1VO2/Blessed+is+the+man.jpg This week's Inspiration - If you are seeking direction today, I have a good Word for you! God is saying, I have given you the way and shown you the path. Your direction is determined by your Choices… One step at a time today. He is faithful to reveal each stepping stone when we keep moving forward. It may appear foggy up ahead, but as you take that step, you know, the one He’s already shown you, revealed to you that you’ve been hesitant to take, the fog clears and you will see all of His goodness! Praise Him for it, and keep His praise on your lips, until that next step is revealed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1638912009323-S0JMZY5VNVVGQZ3BAEES/Again+Jesus+spoke.jpg This week's Inspiration Photo Credit: Korina Smith https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1638361745484-LKY6AX02VEHOD4E31W78/1638126817.1108131-74747D32-D64B-4DD8-9AC7-AFF36DB6AD24.PNG This week's Inspiration Each one of us has been there and none, not one is better than the next. In order to survive, we had to enter in to things to numb the pain. Stop living inside the shame of it…God is faithful through the forgiveness that only comes from the sacrifice of Jesus and great exchange at Calvary. You deny God the glory when you remain in the shame. Leave it at the cross. Don’t you dare pick it up again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1637608408729-VEYYLSB135ITIQE6USKH/Give+thanks.jpg This week's Inspiration - As we approach Thanksgiving, I am reminded to keep a tight focus on those things that really matter. Not to be caught up in the business, but pause in the moments. Fully appreciate the unique , but often overlooked blessings in each hour of each day. Lord, open my eyes to see and my ears to hear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1637105536277-HO1RJBXM9FTVVEPLFFDH/All+things+%282%29.PNG This week's Inspiration - Life comes with challenges, victories, ups and downs and our fair share of disappointments and failures… The great thing about all of these things? There is a lesson to be learned, wisdom gained and someone else’s key to survival is born from it. Jesus will always walk you through, without fail. The beautiful thing is, you will be better for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1636487947580-CJUM8EQZ8WGDLEA0LXQE/Nothing+is+nothing.PNG This week's Inspiration - Lasting change begins with teeny tiny, baby steps every day. Progress is evident in the continuance of the forward movement, no matter how small. Keep pressing on! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1635891774917-OAEXR4Y2Y0H00C2KUNT4/Be+Prepared.JPG This week's Inspiration - The word PREPARE is defined as “make ready for use or able to do or deal with something.” This is not without action… when we step forward in obedience, then we see obstructions fall to the way side, for God is always faithful to bring us through what He brings us to. I will stay the steady course, for I believe to see the victory! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1635357444655-J3IUZUW8KXU5E3JZ7YP9/Clap+your+hands.PNG This week's Inspiration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1634926169640-A25Z5KU8DOLYD291SNZM/Don%27t+give+up.PNG This week's Inspiration - “Father God, thank you for the magnificent splendor of the new day dawning over the horizon that simply leaves me breathless.” Remember, consistent obedience to God’s will reaps all the benefits.

My prayer today is “Father, keep me In step with Your perfect will.” Amen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1633456714637-3JQOG9H31JB8ZJGRWYYX/All+things.PNG This week's Inspiration Forced changes aren’t ever fun, but sometimes those provide the best results, and they are SO worth the courage it takes to take that first step. The funny thing about challenges is they look big, but once you take that first step in, it's not as hard as your mind tries to convince you it is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1632859357343-GGPUY4AS1MO5O70QY8YT/Always+say+yes.PNG This week's Inspiration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f47e98ff04aa74ea2aa16a5/1632177113280-7043G6EVPE04UJJ8VLH8/Lift+my+eyes.PNG This week's Inspiration God sees you, right there in your struggle… Don’t put your faith in reverse… keep believing, keep trusting, keep pushing through.

Thirty Days to Healing, Health and Hope for a Beautiful Life” is a unique compilation of God given inspirational stories, wellness tidbits, healthy nutritional guidance and a mirror message derived from the promises found in God’s Word.

Ideally, the daily content combined will require dedication of 15-20 minutes.
