  6. Three Scriptural Affirmations to Aspire To
    🌟 Tessie/Choleric:

    Good morning Ladies. Hope you are all doing well.

    3."I lead with wisdom, seeking God’s will above my own." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

    This affirmation resonates with me the most. In the past I will just rush into doing the task but lately I find myself talking to God before rushing into things. I want to discern the will God has in this particular situation before moving forward. I find that it is becoming a habit talking to God before jumping ahead. Recently I had some and still have some major decisions to make. With those decisions I noticed I didn't make one of them alone. Usually I will delve right in without talking to God or my spouse until the deal was done. I see my self progressively changing in this particular area.

    Have a great and blessed day.
    Your choleric sister ❤️

  7. Good Morning WSS
    Hope all is well with you and your family.
    Proverbs 2

    These are the verses that resonated with me
    Proverbs 2:10-11
    For *wisdom will enter your heart*, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
    Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

    This is life and comforting. *Wisdom will enter the heart* My heart is the true essence of who I am. I truly need wisdom to navigate through life, especially in these times I'm living in. I am encouraged and reminded at the same time to be aware as to what springs from my heart.
    I am processed with Wisdom, Knowledge, Discretion and Understanding.

    Lord allow me to stay guarded throughout my days.

    Wishing you a wonderful day❤️❤️
