Awake! Speak Life 21 Day Devotional - Final Update

Nichole Shirell- Awake! Speak Life 21 Day Devotional

On Sunday, April 22, 2018, a small group and I completed day 21 of “Awake! Speak Life 21 Day Devotional.” This is the final status update. Our group met daily at 6:45 am. There were two ways to join: live audio on the Facebook page of Nichole Freeman and conference call number: 712-775-7270 code 989416. The call opened with a prayer and closes with an intercessory prayer.

Participants were encouraged to added prayer requests as well as any questions that they had regarding the message. During the last few days of the call, recaps of previous calls became impossible to provide. So, new callers were encouraged to listen to the calls from previous days that were saved on the Facebook.

All participants are encouraged to complete the assignments in each chapter. Tasks included memorization of scripture, affirmation statements, and the incorporation of daily tasks that were a reminder of our self-commitment to change. Our group was reminded daily of our power to speak newness into being which includes wellness, happiness, success, and peace. Our objective was to develop a life-changing habit that replaced negativity with positivity.

After completing day 20, it became evident that our calls and scripture studies would not end on Sunday, April 22, 2018. So, I announced to our group the calls would continue. I also spent time Saturday editing the Awake devotional. A new updated version was published. The eBook was offered for free on Monday, April 23, 2018.

I found that the process of daily prayer and scripture focus was instrumental in my ability to combat negative thoughts that try to surface. It is our Christian belief that the power of life and deaf is in our tongues. So, we are speaking as we believe for newness, prosperity, health, healing, growth and new opportunities. We know that it is impossible to please God without faith and God opens doors for us. Therefore, we continue to study, pray, praise and testify. God is faithful and He continues to provide.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
