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.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
