Awake! Speak Life 21 Day Devotional — Day 17 Update
Nichole Shirell

Today, we completed day 17 of “Awake! Speak Life 21 Day Devotional.” This week will provide part three of a four-part series. In previous updates, it was explained that In our efforts to complete the devotional our prayer group meets daily at 6:45 a.m.

There are two ways to join our group: live audio on the Facebook page of Nichole Freeman and conference call number: 712-775-7270 code 989416.

The call opens with a prayer and closes with intercessory prayer. Anyone who would like to request prayer can do so. A recap of previous calls is provided as a reminder and to update new listeners. All participants are encouraged to complete the assignments in each chapter. Tasks include memorization of scripture, affirmation statements, and the incorporation of daily tasks that are a reminder of our self-commitment to change.

At the end of our assignment, our group will have successfully developed a new mentality by speaking blessings, happiness, and abundance over our lives, the lives of our friends and family. The goal is to remove negative thoughts, speech, and actions.

After 17 days of beginning my day praying, reciting scripture and affirmations, and adding positive tasks to my day, a noticeable change is evident. Last night, I learned news regarding a family members health. This is the second call I received sharing this news. Instead of doubt, panic, fear, and worry, my mind is at peace. The call ended and I took some time to process the news. After, I sent a text message with the song that was on repeat in my head. “God is doing a great work in me” song by Brian Courtney Wilson. I shared the video with the caller. And waited for the second call with the medical treatment plan. The update: we will fight, defeat was not an option. I slept in peace last night, began my day today the same way I have for the last 16 days.

In conclusion, my faith is strong, my peace is perfect, and my desire for God to turn His hand is unquestionable. There is no weeping, doubting, or troubled hearts. God is faithful. Next week, I will provide the final update. I look forward to providing the conclusion.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
