Progress Over Perfection
Day 1 melancholic π
Philippians 1:6 (NET) "For I am sure of this very thing, that the one who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."
What stood out to me .
I am a work in progress , loved seen and growing ..
πΊWhere in my life do I need to replace pressure with peace—so I can grow with God instead of striving alone?
In my work place , in my home and in my decision making , I choose to replace negative self talk with affirmations of Gods truth for my life , remembering that his grace is sufficient for me and his power is made perfect in my weakness ..
Called to Courageous Commitment
π 2 Timothy 1:6–7 (NET)
"Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess… For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control."
Day one
Phlegmatic
- [ ] πΊWhat did it feel like to rekindle God’s gift in you and push past hesitancy.
It’s natural to feel hesitant when stepping into a renewed role , especially if it involves spiritual gifts and many times I questioned my ability, stability, or even the potential consequences of using that gift and fear of failure stepped in not being able to meet expectations , but as I began to use my gift and not be hesitant I felt a sense of purpose and meaning and it has allowed me to express my faith and contribute to the lives of others .
Day 2
Melancholic π
Grace in the Gray
Lamentations 3:22 23
The Lord’s loyal kindness never ceases; his compassions never end. They are fresh every morning; your faithfulness is abundant!"
- [ ] πΊWhen God offered you new mercies each morning, how did you respond—did you receive or resist them?
I recieved it and for me this means another opportunity for change , so I received it with grace a chance to get it right better than the day before , knowing that I just have to remain faithful .
Phlegmatic
Called to Respond
James 1:22 (NET)
"But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves."
Reflective Question:
- [ ] πΊWhat truth did you apply that you've previously been slow to act on?
Many times I came across as a bit sensitive and that always threw me off , however I am learning to not take everything so personal .
* Proverbs 14:17: This proverb warns that "he that is soon angry dealeth foolishly," indicating that quick anger is unwise.
Day 3
Melancholic π
Hope in the process
Jeremiah 29:11 (NET)
"For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope."
What stood out to me
God is not finished. My thoughts may spiral, but His promises hold steady. I’m choosing to believe that He has good plans for me—even if I can’t see them yet. Today, I let hope speak louder than heaviness.
π‘ Reflective Question:
- [ ] πΊWhat truth about God’s character do I need to hold onto right now?
The more I get to know God is the more I realize how awesome he is , sometimes I am in awww as to how much love he has for me , his love is never ending and at all times I am the one that allow myself to stray from him , but knowing how good he is to me . I will forever love him ..
Phlegmatic
π’ Theme: Peace That Acts
π Matthew 5:9 (NET)
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God."
- [ ] πΊWhere am I being too passive instead of making peace?
Hmmmmmm. Not sticking up enough for myself , saying yes when I really need to say No
Lamentations 3:22–23 (NET) "The Lord’s loyal kindness never ceases; his compassions never end. They are fresh every morning; your faithfulness is abundant!"
What stood out to me
God invites you to live in the grace of this moment. You are not behind. You are being led.
Yes Sister Alanda, He is so awesome. These verses were realized in my life in a greater way this week too. Continue to bask in His awesomeness and know that He has a plan for your life. Thanks.
DeleteYou're doing just fine, Sister Alanda. Keep moving forward—you are getting there. Each day, you're one step closer. I love what you shared: “Today, I let hope speak louder than heaviness.” That’s exactly what we all need to do—let the hope we have in God rise above the weight we carry.
DeleteKeep going. You have so much within you to share. And remember today's message: Stepping out and stepping into action. ❤️
Alanda :Thanks sister Gale and Sister Debbie
Delete- [ ] πΊIn what area of life are you learning to walk by faith, not by sight, and how has this grown your trust?
ReplyDeleteAm beginning to trust God with my finances , I realized that I tried doing this thing on my own , overworking myself and not including him in my plans , however recently I decided to just let God have his way , am walking by faith and not by sight, it’s amazing how he just open up the windows of heaven and pour out his blessings , and all I can hear him whisper to me is “Patience “
π
Phlegmatic
Theme: Awakening Holy Boldness
Joshua 1:9 (NET) "I repeat, be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic, for I, the Lord your God, am with you in all you do."
What stood out to me today ..
Boldness isn’t about being loud. It’s about saying yes to God even when I’m unsure. He is with me, and that’s enough.
- [ ] πΊWhat stirred your spiritual zeal this week, and how did it feel to respond with more energy and focus?
This week I had the urge to speak about the goodness of God on many occasions, only this week alone so many young people have died , and my question was , I really hope they atleast got a chance to repent , more and more am seeing the importance of serving God , this is not just about not wanting to go to hell , but it’s about that great sacrifice he made for me and I owe him my life .. ..
Day 5
Melancholic π
Theme: Choosing Joy
Philippians 4:4 (NET) "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!"
Thanks for sharing this verse and reflection on Joshua 1:9 (NET) "I repeat, be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic, for I, the Lord your God, am with you in all you do."
DeleteSometimes it's easy to panic when we're feeling afraid - but God reminds us that He is with us in ALL we do!
- [ ] What negative thought or inner dialogue did you capture and replace with God’s truth?
ReplyDeleteResponse : During this study I had to keep reminding myself that God surely has a plan for me and I been asking him to really help me ,
Jeremiah 29:11 says For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,” and this is the truth I have been replacing my negative thoughts with .
Found a quote from Joyce Myers
When you really know who God is-that He's for you and not against you, that He loves you, that He's the source of everything you need-then life gets really exciting!
Phlegmatic
Standing Firm in Faith
1 Corinthians 15:58 (NET) "So then, dear brothers and sisters, be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."
Reflective question:
- [ ] πΊIn what area has God been waking you up from spiritual sleep or comfort, and what small shift have you made?
God has been working on my prayer life , I find that if I don’t pray I become spiritually dead , I have no zeal , when I do pray everything inside of me becomes alive , I feel like I can do all things through that strengthens me , literally, so I pray more even if I fall asleep while praying when I wake up I find myself praying and that has been helping me a lot ..
Week one study
For July ..
To God be the glory ..
Good Morning Sisters
ReplyDeleteπ‘ Day 6:
Sanguine Reflection Questions
(Theme: Deepening Joy Through Discipline and Truth)
Day 1 – How did you experience being "rooted in Christ" instead of relying on emotion or excitement?
Tuesday July 1st, instead of rushing into my usual routine or searching for something to “inspire” me, I simply sat quietly in God’s presence for ten minutes. No phone. No music. No distractions. Just the Word and my heart, laid bare before I read Psalm 1:1–3:
Him.
“Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.”
There was no emotional high, just a quiet sense of awe.
As I read the words, “They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season,” I felt a steady joy rise within me.
What a gift it is to have my roots planted in His Word.
Today, being rooted in Christ meant resisting the urge to measure my growth by whether I felt connected. Instead, I chose to believe the truth: I am connected—because I belong to Him.
Day 2 – What did you learn about the importance of staying consistent in the Word, and how has that impacted your spiritual rhythm?
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Disneyland. While there, my husband’s cousin asked if I wanted to go island hopping. I was curious and asked what that meant. She explained that I’d get to visit all the “islands” (the various parks within Disney) in one day—but the catch was, I wouldn't be able to stay long at any of them. I’d have to keep moving quickly from one to the next.
That experience mirrors how I used to approach Scripture—I was “scripture hopping.” I would move from one verse or passage to another without really taking the time to sit with God’s Word. I wasn’t lingering long enough for it to take root or truly nourish my heart.
Now I understand the value of staying consistent in the Word. There’s so much to glean, but I won’t receive it if I’m constantly skipping through, looking for quick inspiration. I’ve learned to slow down, to sit with God’s Word, and to wait for Him to speak to my heart. I can’t rush the process of transformation.
Yesterday was a perfect reminder of this truth. The scripture God led me to meditate on was the exact same one Sister Penny shared with us Sanguines for our prompt. Only God could orchestrate something so intentional. He’s always speaking—we just need to slow down and listen.
Day 3 – In what ways have you grown in loving God not just with your heart, but with your mind and strength?
Deletestarted paying closer attention to the thoughts that were constantly running through my mind—thoughts that were quietly affecting my mindset and draining my strength. The truth is, I knew exactly what was behind it. I could identify the source, but I felt so overwhelmed by everything happening around me that, mentally, I just gave up. I stopped fighting.
But that has changed. I’ve taken back control of my thought life. I’ve begun to actively guard my mind against the lies and harassment the enemy was bringing. And you know what? Just a few days after making that intentional shift, I realized the harassment had stopped.
Yesterday, as I sat quietly with the Lord for 10 minutes, He gently whispered, “If your mind wanders, just bring it back into focus.” That reminder was so simple, yet so powerful.
I’m no longer running on empty. I make it a point to get proper rest. I drink my water daily. I’m seeing physical changes in my body—and that, too, is worship. I now realize that loving God with all my strength means stewarding my physical body well. It allows me to serve Him more fully. This journey of loving God with my whole being—heart, mind, and strength—is becoming more real every day.
Day 4 – How did you handle accountability this week, and what truth spoken in love challenged or encouraged you most?
After reading the question a couple of times, I realized I didn’t face any particular challenge in handling accountability with anyone this week. However, God did speak to me through His Word. While reading Psalm 46:10 in the TPT version, these words stood out: “Surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.”
The phrase “Surrender your anxiety” kept replaying in my mind all day. That evening, something happened that stirred up anxious thoughts, but immediately, those words returned to me. It was as if God had prepared my heart ahead of time. I’m truly thankful for that gentle but timely encouragement.
I also had a conversation with one of my sisters, and she mentioned something to me that, in the past, might have triggered a defensive response. But this time, I responded with grace and calm. Her reply was, “Oh, thank you—I understand what you’re saying.” It was a small moment, but it showed me how much God is growing me. What could’ve turned into tension became a moment of peace instead.
Alanda: sister Debbie I couldn’t agree with you more , slowing down and listening is the very best thing , I found myself doing that recently.. pray meditate and just wait on God .. thanks for sharing so deeply ..
DeleteThat is a very important discipline - sitting still and allowing God to speak when we read the scripture. As you mentioned, it's not about just finding scriptures to 'inspire us' but to let God speak to our souls as we read the Word.
DeleteDay 5 – In which situation were you most tempted to speak quickly, and how did you practice listening instead?
ReplyDeleteOn Wednesdays, I volunteer at a church food pantry. That day, the coordinator and I were having a conversation, and she began opening up about some of her health challenges. At first, I jumped right into “fix-it” mode, offering suggestions, asking questions, trying to help.
But then, I felt a calm come over me.
I stopped talking. I stopped asking questions. I just listened.
As she continued sharing, I found myself simply nodding, offering soft encouragement, and gently reminding her to take it to God in prayer. It was a quiet shift, but a powerful one. I realized in that moment that sometimes, the most loving thing I can do is to be present and listen, not to fix, advise, or fill the silence.
This won’t come naturally every time. It will take constant practice, but I know I’ll get there. With God’s help, I’m learning that listening is just as powerful, sometimes even more so, than speaking.
P.S
Later in the evening, I got a text from her telling me thanks for chatting with her. π
Have A GREATTT Day at church
Aww, that's a great testimony. Prior to your transformation, you might have thought you didn't 'say much' in that conversation, but looking at her text, your 'soft encouragement' was greatly appreciated by this lady. Keep it up and continue to allow the Holy Spirit to transform you!
DeleteSorry, I couldn't sent it in one shot. It said it's too long. ππ. Typical Sanguine, always with a story...π
ReplyDeleteπ. A sanguine indeed excited about what God has done, is doing and will continue to do. Thanks.
Deleteπ€
DeleteSister Debbie and Sister Alanda thanks for sharing (DEEP). Continue on the journey and open up your spirits to God as He does His work in your lives.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sister Penny
DeletePace: Go DEEP (I had to summarize my answers to fit so here is my shorter (Go Deep) version.
ReplyDeleteπ΄ DAY 1 – CHOLERIC
Question: In what area of your life are you still trying to be the potter instead of the clay? What has God shown you about surrendering control?
Before this devotional, I believed I could handle certain parts of my life on my own. But God reminded me: I’m not the Potter—He is. Acting impulsively without consulting Him is not surrender; it’s self-sufficiency. True transformation happens only when I yield.
π “Yet, Lord, you are our father. We are the clay, and you are our potter...” —Isaiah 64:8 (NET)
π΅ DAY 1 – MELANCHOLIC
Question: How has shifting from perfectionism to progress changed how you see yourself and your walk with God?
Letting go of perfectionism has brought me peace. God never asked me to be flawless—just faithful. Now, I view my walk as a journey of becoming, not arriving.
π “Not that I have... already arrived... but I press on…” —Philippians 3:12
π “...the one who began a good work in you will perfect it…” —Philippians 1:6 (NET)
π΄ DAY 2 – CHOLERIC
Question: When you chose to be still before God, what did you notice about your thoughts, feelings, or reactions?
Stillness helped me silence distractions and embrace His presence. I wasn’t striving—I was worshiping. Tears came as my heart realigned with His.
π “Stop your striving and recognize that I am God!” —Psalm 46:10 (NET)
π΅ DAY 2 – MELANCHOLIC
Question: When God offered you new mercies each morning, how did you respond—did you receive or resist them?
I received them—fully. God’s grace, fresh each morning, set me free from self-condemnation. One line stood out: “Help me accept mercy instead of marinating in mistakes.”
π “...his compassions never fail. They are new every morning...” —Lamentations 3:22–23
π “...forgetting what is behind... I press on...” —Philippians 3:13–14 (NIV)
π΄ DAY 3 – CHOLERIC
Question: How has humility transformed how you lead or interact with others this week?
This week, I chose humility over reaction. Instead of asserting control, I’m leaning on God’s wisdom. The Holy Spirit is teaching me to lead with grace, not force.
π΅ DAY 3 – MELANCHOLIC
Question: What has helped you trust God’s process even when you don’t fully understand it?
Trusting that God had a plan for me before I was born gives me peace. He’s the Potter—I’m the clay. He reveals what I need, when I need it.
π΄ DAY 4 – CHOLERIC
Question: Where has waiting on God produced more strength than moving in your own timing?
Prepping for Sunday, I sensed God telling me to pause. Though tempted to push forward, I waited—and was recharged. Waiting on God brought clarity I couldn’t have earned by striving. Waiting is not weakness—it’s worship.
π΅ DAY 4 – MELANCHOLIC
Question: In what area of life are you learning to walk by faith, not by sight, and how has this grown your trust?
In ministry, I’m learning to walk by faith. Even when things look uncertain, I keep going—because this is His work, not mine.
π΄ DAY 5 – CHOLERIC
Question: Which fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) have you been most challenged to grow in as a Choleric, and how have you practiced self-control?
Patience. I move fast—but not everyone does. The Spirit keeps whispering, “Slow down.” And I do—even if I have to say it aloud. I’m learning that patience is strength under control.
π΅ DAY 5 – MELANCHOLIC
Question: What negative thought or inner dialogue did you capture and replace with God’s truth?
The lie: “You’re not doing enough.” But I caught it. That’s just the melancholic pressure speaking. God reminded me that I’m enough because He’s at work in me.
π “I know what I have planned for you... plans to give you a future filled with hope.” —Jeremiah 29:11 (NET)
Wishing everyone a great day of worship. Have a superb Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Sister Penny. Thank you for continually be so open, showing us who you are as God is at work in your life. This week, I noticed God zeroed in with the both of us on Psalms 46:10. Let us continue to be the clay, while He works on us. ❤️
DeleteAlanda : Sister Gale so am definitely stealiing these lines .. Acting impulsively without consulting Him is not surrender; it’s self-sufficiency. True transformation happens only when I yield. Amen to this
DeleteYou told me so it's not stealing. LOL. Thank you.
DeleteI really like this point: "God never asked me to be flawless—just faithful. Now, I view my walk as a journey of becoming, not arriving." That really is the essence of our Christian walk. As humans, we are not flawless, we just have to be faithful and God, will perfect us in the process. Thanks for sharing!

require courage, not just quiet
Well peace with courage isn’t easy it requires
empathy and understanding but also build a
a peaceful relationship with god
Have a blessed evening
Sister Ann, Thank for sharing. You are so correct, Peace only comes from God, no way else. ❤️
DeleteAlanda : Sister Ann as you rightly said peace with courage isn’t easy . As a phlegmatic myself else appreciate peace , I found a quote though , if you avoid conflict to keep the peace you start a war within yourself ..
DeleteThank you Sister Ann for sharing.
DeleteThanks for sharing Sis. Ann! Peace should never mean passivity - continue to rely on the Holy Spirit to give you courage!
DeleteHello everyone
ReplyDeleteTessie: Choleri/Melancholic
Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday.
2. Day 5 – Which fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) have you been most challenged to grow in as a Choleric, and how have you practiced self control?
Patients has always been one of the most difficult fruits of the spirit for me. Over the years I have struggled with this. I always knew that this was a weak point for me. I wasn't aware that impatient was a default of personality type until I understand more about being a Choleric. However, I have gotten a lot better in being patient, even when things would bugg me to the highest degree, I have watched myself deliberately give chances or let it go in other to see the other point of view. I cannot say it is all perfect now but I have changed some what in that area. When I think about the choleric temperament I do not want others to view me as oh, " let me see how she will react in this situation because patients is her weaknesses". I want to set the record straight I may have a long way to go but I do not want patients to be confused with firmness. I Understand the need that I have to be more tolerant with the other temperament but there is also a level other temperaments must realized about my/our temperament. In all honesty when I look at my life I believe based on the temperament test a bit of all the temperament are embedded in my personality. I think because of that God has graced me with tolerance, to be more patient with my kids, at church, and at work; it's not always perfect but I think it's working. I truly believe allowing or giving others chances helps me become more patient and understanding. It may seem like a weakness to others but I believe that allowing others chances also give them an opportunity to think about their own behavior.
Have a great evening ✨
ReplyDeleteAlanda ; Sister Tesse I couldn’t agree with you more , I believe that allowing others chances also give them an opportunity to think about their own behavior.
Delete, absolutely true it gives them a opportunity to reflect on their actions , thanks for sharing , may God continue to grace you ..
Hello everyone Happy Sunday.
DeleteMELANCHOLIC/SANGUINE
1. How has shifting from perfectionism to progress change how you see your self and your walk with God?
I acknowledge and God knows that I can never be perfect, perfectionism is what I want, however God just needs me to walk in obedience and faithfulness. knowing that I ask the lord to help me to walk in obedience to him daily, now it is peaceful to know it is alright.
3. What truth about God's character do I need to hold on to right now?
God is Merciful, his mercy starts afresh every morning, there is need to hold on to yesterdays shame or wrong, He cannot lie, he is faithful, trust worthy, his love is unconditional.
have a blessed evening everyone.
Thank you Sister Tessie for sharing.
DeleteThank you Sister Hazel for sharing.
DeleteThank you for sharing Sis. Tessie. Continue to allow the Holy Spirit to increase your patience. By acknowledging this area of growth, the Holy Spirit will provide you with opportunities to grow in this area. Keep it up!
DeleteYes, Mrs. Nelson. π Thank you for setting the record straight.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you share, I notice more areas of growth in you. One thing I truly appreciate is that when you speak, you speak from your heart.
As you continue to seek growth in patience, be mindful—opportunities to practice it will surely come your way. Embrace them. ❤️
Good night everyone

Day1 Progress over Perfection
This prayer resonated with me. God knows everything about me and I rest in his grace.
Lord, you see every part of me—the details, the worries, the expectations I carry. Help me today to rest in Your grace and not demand perfection from myself or others. Teach me to grow in a way that honors You and frees me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
God is responsible for finishing the work in me. {Philippians 1:6}
I don’t have to be perfect I just have to trust God. He is working on me. I don’t have to fix everything
Day 3- Hope in the process
The question was asked “Do I believe God’s plan apply to me personally not just to others”?
Absolutely. I believe God’s plan apply to me personally
What stood out to me from this devotion is Even when I feel overwhelmed, I will still trust in God’s plan for my life and stand on his promises knowing that He has good plans for me and knows what’s best for me. I promise myself to hold on to hope than heaviness.
Day 4- Grace for Today
What stood out to me is that God’s grace is new every morning
{Lamentations 3:22-23} I wrote this verse out and posted it on my mirror where I can see it every morning.
I need to let go the old pressure of being too hard on myself and to know that things will not be perfect all the time.
I am learning to walk in God’s freedom not in self pressure.
God’s grace never runs out its fresh every morning.
Thank you Sis Penny for the daily devotion
Alanda : Sister Theresa I believe I found a new favorite scripture. Not to abuse it , but just knowing that Gods mercy is new every morning , it gives me an opportunity to just continue in his grace and the mercies that he allows , I believe God is calling us to be obedient. Thank you for sharing ..
DeleteThank you for sharing Sister Theresa. You are welcome. It is my pleasure to serve.
DeleteGreat job applying the Word practically! Reminding yourself daily that God's grace is new every morning is a powerful reminder and will help shape how you view each new day. Keep it up~

Lamentations 3:22–23 (NET)
"The Lord’s loyal kindness never ceases; his compassions never end. They are fresh every morning; your faithfulness is abundant!"
Question:
When God offered you new mercies each morning, how did you respond—did you receive or resist them?
Ans:
Each new day is a mercy reset. I am not defined by yesterday’s discouragement—I walk forward in God's grace, not taking matters in my own hands but by trusting God sincerely, knowing that I am not perfect, because only God is perfect. Therefore I am grateful for the opportunity to daily surrender my will, so that His perfect will may be done in my life.
Affirmation
“God’s mercy meets me every morning. I walk in new grace today.”
π₯ DAY 2 – CHOLERIC
π₯ Theme: Strength in Stillness
Psalm 46:10 (NET)
"Stop your striving and recognize that I am God! I will be exalted over the nations! I will be exalted over the earth!"
Question
When you chose to be still before God, what did you notice about your thoughts, feelings, or reactions?
Ans:
Taking the lead or being in charge as an individual, can be egotistic, proud or even controlling at times, but when I choose to be still, I am not led by my own tuition, because I would have surrender my will to God rather than resist his plan for my life,
By doing this, I become more like Christ, following His instructions and knowing that it is not about me, but rather about God. This study taught me that God is exalted even when I am not doing anything. He is Glorified in my silence and my obedience. I have experienced his work in my life, even in my stillness.
During my current season of undergoing some renovation at home, I was tempted to take matters into my own hands. But as I slowed down and began walking by faith, trusting and believing in God, I have experience his miraculous works in the process. It is a great feeling because the accomplishment thus far can only be viewed as a miracle.
I truly believe that by slowing down and stop striving, I am honoring God’s authority and inviting His power into my pace. Stillness is not weakness—it’s sacred trust.
Affirmation
“I am strong enough to be still. My power comes from trusting God, not rushing ahead.”
Alanda : Sister Glenda it’s like my chosen song today, you are God alone , too many we try to do things in our own strength, then we still have to turn around and hand it over to God and at the end he comes through for us , then we say it can only be God , he is working sister Glenda just have faith ::
DeleteThis part really stood out to me, "God is exalted even when I am not doing anything. He is Glorified in my silence and my obedience." That is very powerful and true! It is evident that Holy Spirit is transforming you as you 'invite His power into your pace' Continue to listen and obey Him!

Day 5 Melancholic Reflection Questions
Day 1 – How has shifting from perfectionism to progress changed how you see yourself and your walk with God?
I now understand that I am a work in progress. I do not have to measure up to anyone, or compare myself to anyone. so I no longer need to strive to be perfect, or require that anyone be perfect. Whew, This is a weight lifted off me. As scripture says, I am not the one doing the work in me, it is God, this reminds me of the verse in Philippians 2:13 it is God who works in me.
I have that consciousness now, I can sense that change is happening. I thank God for the transformation He has begun.
Day 2
When God offered you new mercies each morning, how did you respond-did you receive or resist them?
Before subconsciously I resisted God’s offer of new mercies. Moving forward I make a conscious effort to intentionally receive God’s mercy and not resist.
Day 3
What has helped me trust God’s process even when you don’t fully understand it.
In the last little while God has been speaking to me through His Word, through various scriptures passages letting me know that He is with me. He has been speaking to me through other mediums as well. Through a song He laid on my heart, video I watched. There is some encouragement for me. As a result my confidence and trust in Him is really growing. Therefore I am learning to trust the process that He is taking me through.
Day 4
In what area of your life are you learning to walk by faith, not by sight, how has this grown your trust?
I am believing the Holy Spirit for His help to be more aware of His presence in my life. Every moment and to acknowledge Him more. I started this by greeting Him when I wake up. Saying good morning Holy Spirit, I surrender my mind and my thoughts to You today. Asking for His help to pause throughout my day and speak to Him. I can say that this is happening slowly but surely. I tell myself that I need to persist and don’t give up, eventually I will become even more conscious of His presence.
Day 5
What negative thought or inner dialogue did I capture and replace with God’s truth?
The negative thoughts I had to take captive is, that things must be done properly. Things can be done in such a way that it does not have to be perfect, but the outcome is good enough. I have to keep telling myself that, it is good enough not perfect but good enough. I realize that when I want to do things perfectly is also waste time.
Good night everyone
Sister Michelle, thank you for sharing.
DeleteWonderful reflections Sis. Michelle! This transformation journey is helping us all develop 'consciousness' about who we are and how God wants to transform us. I like your new practice of 'greeting the Holy Spirit' each morning! I will give it a try!!

ReplyDeleteDay 1 – How has shifting from perfectionism to progress changed how you see yourself and your walk with God?
Shifting from perfectionism to progress has helped me see myself through the lens of grace instead of constant pressure. I used to feel like I had to have it all together to be pleasing to God, but now I realize He meets me in the process, not just at the finish line.
It’s changed my walk with Him from striving to trusting—learning that spiritual growth is not about flawless performance but faithful steps. I’m more patient with myself, more open to correction, and more aware that He’s working even when I don’t feel perfect. It’s a journey, not a test.
There's this song “Jesus, He Meets Me Anywhere” — a song that beautifully reminds me that Jesus doesn’t wait for us to be perfect or “ready.” He meets us exactly where we are, in our mess, doubts, and weakness.
CHOLERIC
Day 1 – In what area of your life are you still trying to be the potter instead of the clay? What has God shown you about surrendering control?
Honestly—it's in controlling how things should turn out.
I often carry silent expectations about how life, relationships, or just things on a whole should unfold. And when things don’t go the way I hoped, I start overthinking, fixing, striving—trying to shape the outcome myself.
But God has been gently showing me that peace doesn’t come from controlling the process. It comes from trusting the One who sees the whole picture.
I’m learning to release the pressure to hold everything together and instead rest in the truth that I’m the clay—not the potter. He’s the one shaping the story. My part is to stay soft in His hands.
MELANCHOLIC
Day 2 – When God offered you new mercies each morning, how did you respond—did you receive or resist them?
When God offered me new mercies each morning, I didn’t always receive them right away.
Sometimes, I resisted them—out of guilt, out of the feeling that I hadn’t earned a fresh start. I’d carry the weight of yesterday’s failures, rehearsing what I should have done better, almost punishing myself by clinging to shame instead of accepting His grace.
But over time, I’ve come to see that resisting His mercy doesn’t make me more humble—it just keeps me from healing.
Now, I’m learning to wake up and whisper, “Thank You, Lord. I don’t deserve this, but I receive it.” And in that moment, I feel the weight lift. His mercy softens my heart, quiets the inner critic, and reminds me that He’s not asking for perfection—just a willing heart.
CHOLERIC
Day 2 – When you chose to be still before God, what did you notice about your thoughts, feelings, or reactions?
When I chose to be still before God, I first felt impatience—I’m used to taking charge and fixing things quickly. But in the quiet, I realized that sometimes the strongest move is to pause and listen. It sharpened my focus and reminded me that true leadership includes trusting God’s timing, not just my own.
Be still, and know that I am God.— Psalm 46:10
Alanda : sister Cindy it’s amazing that I just replied to sister Michelle and telling her this exact thing , God meets us where we are , we just have need to yield , thanks for sharing ..
DeleteThank you for sharing your reflection Sis. Cindy. As always, it's great to read your melancholic insight. When you wrote, " It's a journey, not a test" that really stood out to me! We shouldn't look at our Christian walk as a test (because as humans, we will always fall short aka fail). But when we see it as a journey, it's easier to accept God's grace.
DeleteI like your new practice of saying, "Thank You, Lord. I don’t deserve this, but I receive it”. We may not feel like we deserve God's mercy each morning, but He faithfully provides it and all we have to do is 'thankfully receive it!' Thanks for sharing~continue to allow the Holy Spirit to transform you!

ReplyDeleteDay 3 – What has helped you trust God’s process even when you don’t fully understand it?
Looking back and seeing how God has carried me through seasons I didn’t understand at the time. When I was in the middle of confusion or waiting, I didn’t see the purpose—but now I can see His faithfulness clearly.
That gives me courage to keep trusting, even when the path feels uncertain. I’m learning to surrender my need to control every detail and instead rest in the truth that God’s timing and plans are perfect—even if I don’t fully understand them yet.
CHOLERIC
Day 3 – How has humility transformed how you lead or interact with others this week?
Humility, this week, has softened the inner critic — both toward myself and others. As someone who naturally sees what could be improved or done better, I’m learning to pause before correcting, to speak with grace rather than perfection, and to release the pressure to get everything "just right." It’s helped me resist overthinking every interaction, and instead trust that showing up with sincerity and gentleness is enough.
In leadership, humility kept me from leading with silent frustration. Like having to show someone the same thing over and over again. It helped me choose patience over precision, and presence over performance. And when I felt misunderstood or unseen — humility didn’t demand validation. It whispered, “Your worth doesn’t need proving.”
This week, humility hasn’t made me weaker. It’s made me kinder — and that has changed everything.
MELANCHOLIC
Day 4 – In what area of life are you learning to walk by faith, not by sight, and how has this grown your trust?
I’m learning to walk by faith when it comes to letting go of overthinking and control. I tend to get caught up in analyzing every detail and trying to predict outcomes, which often leads to feeling stuck or anxious. But I’m realizing that faith means moving forward even when I don’t have all the answers or when things aren’t perfectly clear.
This has grown my trust because it’s taught me to lean more on God’s timing and wisdom, rather than my own understanding. Instead of waiting until everything “makes sense,” I’m learning to take the next step in confidence, trusting that God is working even in the unseen moments.
It’s not easy, but every time I choose faith over worry, my trust grows stronger.
As His word says For we walk by faith, not by sight.— 2 Corinthians 5:7
CHOLERIC
ReplyDeleteDay 4 – Where has waiting on God produced more strength than moving in your own timing?
Waiting on God has brought me more strength especially in times when I wanted to rush certain decisions. When I acted on my own timing, I often felt anxious and overwhelmed. But choosing to wait—even when it was difficult—gave me peace, patience, and clearer guidance. That waiting strengthened my faith and reminded me that God’s timing is always perfect, even when I don’t understand it at the moment.
MELANCHOLIC
Day 5 – What negative thought or inner dialogue did you capture and replace
with God’s truth?
One negative thought I’ve often caught myself believing is, “I’m not good enough”—that no matter how hard I try, I’ll always fall short. Along with that comes the whisper, “I have to figure everything out on my own,” as if asking for help or trusting others means I’m weak.
These thoughts have weighed heavily on me, making me feel isolated and anxious, carrying a burden I feel I can’t put down. But slowly, I’m learning to challenge those lies. I’m reminding myself that my worth isn’t measured by my performance or how much I can handle alone.
Instead, I’m beginning to embrace the truth that I am deeply loved just as I am. It’s okay to lean on God—and on others—for strength and guidance. Every time I replace those negative voices with God’s truth, I find more peace and courage to keep moving forward.
As Scripture says, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9
CHOLERIC
Day 5 – Which fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) have you been most challenged to grow in as a Choleric, and how have you practiced self-control?
As someone with a melancholic-choleric blend, self-control is a daily practice. My melancholic side tends to overthink and be self-critical, while my choleric side wants to take charge and fix things quickly. That combination can make me reactive or overly intense—both in my thoughts and actions.
Learning self-control means pausing before I respond, letting go of the need to be perfect or in control, and choosing to surrender my emotions and expectations to God. It’s not easy, but every time I do, I find more peace and clarity.
“Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.” — Proverbs 25:28 This verse reminds me that true strength comes from letting the Spirit lead, not just my temperament.
Blessed evening!
Thank you Sister Cindy for sharing.
DeleteAlanda : Sister Michelle it’s a beautiful thing knowing that we don’t need to measure up to please God ,he takes us as we are .. we just have to be ready .. thanks for sharing ..
ReplyDeleteHello ladies!
ReplyDeletehope everyone had a great day!
Phlegmatic/ melanchoclic.
What stirred your spiritual zeal this week and how did it feel to respond with more energy and focus?
This week the story of Joshua really encourage(Joshua 1: 9)
God let Joshua know that He is with him.
One thing I did differently was to intentionally sit in His presence with the word and allow the Holy Spirit to speak and lead.
As a phlegmatic ,I don't always speak up or take the initiative. I know that the Lord is call me to step up and speak up and be brave : my voice matters. He promise to be with me.
God did not give me the spirit of fear(2 Timothy 1: 7)
have a goodnight!
Thank you ladies for sharing, very encourage by every one posting,
ReplyDeleteblessing!
Goodnight everyone~ Thanks for sharing your reflections! By God's grace, we are being transformed day-by-day! Amen!
ReplyDeleteπ΅ DAY 6: MELANCHOLIC REFLECTION QUESTIONS
(Theme: From Inner Pressure to Inner Peace Through Grace and Trust)
Day 1 – How has shifting from perfectionism to progress changed how you see yourself and your walk with God?
Shifting from perfectionism has helped me realize that God is the only one who can ‘perfect’ me and that perfection is a lifelong journey. As a result, I am now free to replace pressure with peace, knowing that God is the one that is helping me grow day-by-day. I am giving myself grace with my daily walk with God and I also notice that I don’t feel the pressure to ‘check things off my box’ when it comes to my relationship with God. I feel free to just ‘chat’ with God about whatever is going on in my life.
Day 2 – When God offered you new mercies each morning, how did you respond—did you receive or resist them?
I received the new mercies each morning. It was a good reminder that I don’t need to continually think about the areas where I am ‘missing’ but instead, I can just rest in God’s compassion and mercy. I am learning to release discouragement and embrace God’s daily reset. I loved the line that said, “accept mercy instead of marinating in mistakes”. This is powerful for a melancholic and I am going to try to remind myself of this often.
Day 3 – What has helped you trust God’s process even when you don’t fully understand it?
What has helped me trust God’s process is His proven track record. Knowing that God has always provided and always made a way. Believing that God knows the plans He has for me gives me reassurance when I don’t understand what is going on. This week, we had a situation where we were able to see God’s plans unfold in ways that far exceeded what we could have hoped or even imagined. When I created my ‘hope list’ I didn’t see how God would work things out, but He did and ‘to God be the glory!!’
Day 4 – In what area of life are you learning to walk by faith, not by sight, and how has this grown your trust?
I’m in a transitional stage right now, and during this phase, I am required to walk by faith, not by sight. My trust in God has grown during this time because I am just relying on Him to make a way. As the verse for this day said, “The Lord’s loyal kindness never ceases; his compassions never end.” I am holding on to this promise and believing my faith that He will continue to provide!
Day 5 – What negative thought or inner dialogue did you capture and replace with God’s truth?
I noticed I started to ‘worry’ about a situation, but instead of fueling the worry, I captured the worry and replaced it with the truth that God is my Jehovah Jireh! The challenge before me is still present and I don’t feel joyful, but I am still rejoicing because God is sovereign, God gives me eternal hope and God always provides!

Good night everyone,
ReplyDeleteTemperament Transformation Devotional:
Phlegmatic / Melancholic
Reflection Question:
What truth did you apply that you've previously been slow to act on? I was told that I have no patience in driving.
I really had to take a deep look in my action when driving, I had a problem with people driving slow or cutting in front of me without signaling. I prayed and asked God to help me control myself and give me patience when driving, and stop the complaining, because I cannot change the way people drives. After praying I got the peace within, and that cause me to slow down and remember the road is not made for me alone. Proverbs 14:29 Reminds me that,' A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly.”
Have a bless night.
Good night everyone,

Day 6: Phlegmatic Reflection Questions
(Theme: From Passive Peace to Purposeful Passion)
Day 3 – How did you pursue peace in a way that required courage, not just quiet?
This week I had a situation that after listening I had to mustered courage and speak up rather than remaining quiet. I basically shared with the individual some insights and the dangers in the manner
which would make the matter worse after a very lengthy discussion the matter was resolved smoothly. Honestly it took a great deal out of me to push myself. Thanks for the devotional on Day 3 helped me by choosing to be a peacemaker rather than the old me being the peacekeeper.
Good night π΄
