🍁 SEPTEMBER 6th — DAY 6 OF OUR JESUS CHALLENGE 🍁

Today’s challenge is simple:

LAY. IT. DOWN. ❤️

What have you been carrying that God never asked you to carry alone?

The worry.
The fear.
The hurt.
The disappointment.
The unanswered questions.
The situation you keep replaying in your mind.
The thing you’ve been trying to fix all by yourself.

Today, I challenge you to take it to Jesus.

📖 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

And when you lay it down… leave it there. ❤️

Don’t take it back five minutes later because you’re worried about what might happen next. 😂 Trust Him with it.

You may not know how He is going to work it out.
You may not understand why you’re walking through it.
You may not even see a way out yet.

But you can still say:

“Jesus, I don’t understand it, but I trust You with it.” 🙌🏽

And here’s the second part of today’s challenge:

❤️ Encourage somebody else.

Find someone who may be struggling silently and remind them that they are not alone. Send the text. Make the phone call. Give the hug. Say the prayer. Tell them you love them.

Because sometimes the person encouraging everybody else is secretly the one who needs encouragement the most.

And maybe—just maybe—God put YOU in their path today because He wanted to remind them:

“You don’t have to carry this alone. I’m still here.” ❤️

So today…

Lay it down.
Leave it with Jesus.
And help somebody else remember that they can do the same. 🙏🏽❤️

🔥 DAY 6 CHALLENGE: SURRENDER IT + ENCOURAGE SOMEBODY.

Let’s see how many people we can remind today that Jesus still cares, Jesus is still near, and Jesus is still in control. ❤️

🍁SEPTEMBER 5: DAY 5 CHALLENGE 🍁

Today’s challenge: STAY CONNECTED TO THE VINE🌿

Sister Mayo reminded us of something so powerful: God is the Vine, and we are the branches.

Jesus said:

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
John 15:5

A branch cannot survive disconnected from the vine.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful the branch looks. It doesn’t matter how strong it used to be. It doesn’t matter how much fruit it produced last season.

If it disconnects from the Vine, eventually it dies.

And I believe and know the enemy knows that and he will use that against us every time.

He will try to get you offended.
He will try to get you isolated.
He will whisper that nobody understands you.
He will try to tell you that you’re better off by yourself.
He will use the hurt, disappointment, misunderstandings, exhaustion, and offense of everyday life to convince you to disconnect.

But TODAY, RIGHT NOW, we’re making up our minds:

I’M STAYING CONNECTED TO THE VINE. 🌿🔥

⭐️Connected to Jesus.
⭐️Connected to prayer.
⭐️Connected to His Word.
⭐️Connected to worship.
⭐️Connected to the people God has placed in my life.

And just like Sister Miller said…

LET’S PITCH A FIT! 😂🔥

Let’s get that devil UNDER OUR FEET and remind him that he does NOT get to decide what happens to our faith, our families, our husband, our babies, our relationships, our churches, or minds, or our future!

Romans 16:20 says:
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.”

So today, find one someone who may be feeling disconnected, discouraged, hurting, or alone and reach for them. Send the text. Make the call. Give the hug. Pray with them. Remind them that they are loved. Call their name in your “Prayer Closet”.

Because sometimes being connected to the Vine also means helping another branch remember where their strength comes from also❤️

So, in the morning, when the enemy is in full force, because after these services, we all know he will be trying to throw every wretch in our routines, while we are running around crazy to get to church on time, and the kids have lost their minds and the husband well he’s just being a husband 🫠😅 remember this: let’s come hungry and thirsty for His Word, come expecting to see those signs and wonders and miracles, and LET’S STAY CONNECTED MORE THAN WE EVER HAVE BEFORE 🙌🏽

No offense will disconnect me.
No disappointment will disconnect me.
No hurt will disconnect me.
No attack of the enemy will disconnect me.

🌿 I’M STAYING CONNECTED TO THE VINE.

Now, let’s all go pitch a fit before bed and put that devil under our feet! 😂🔥🙌🏽

BESTIEESSS! ❤️ DAY 4 Challenge + LADIES CONFERENCE NIGHT?! The timing is PERFECT. God has helped me make today’s challenge fit the conference so beautifully.

🌸 SEPTEMBER DAY 4 — “COME HUNGRY”

Today’s challenge:
Pray for a deeper hunger for God and then do something to feed it.

⭐️ Matthew 5:6

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”

For today’s, challenge:

🙏 Pray: “Lord, give me a hunger and thirst for You that nothing else can satisfy.”

📖 Read: Matthew 5:1–12

What To Do: Before you walk into conference tonight, intentionally lay down one distraction, worry, hurt, or expectation and tell God, “I came hungry. Fill me.”

✨ And here’s the fun part: tonight, don’t just attend the Ladies Conference. Come expecting God to meet you there. Worship like you need Him. Pray like you believe He hears you. Lift your hands even when you don’t feel like it. And make room for whatever God wants to do.

Today, I want to challenge you to ask God for something simple but powerful:

“Lord, make me hungry for You again.” ❤️‍🔥

Not hungry for recognition.
Not hungry for approval.
Not hungry for the things of this world.

Hungry for You JESUS.

Before you walk through the doors tonight, lay down your distractions, your worries, your hurt, your expectations, and everything you’ve carried into this day.

And simply say:

“Lord, I came hungry. Fill me.”

Tonight is our Ladies Conference, and I don’t want to walk in simply expecting a service.

I want to walk in EXPECTING GOD. 🙌🏻

I want to worship like I know He’s worthy.
I want to pray like I believe and know He still answers all prayers.
I want to lift my hands because He’s been faithful.
I want to open my heart because I know He can fill every empty place.

🔥 Come hungry, ladies.
Because the promise is still true:

“…they shall be filled.”

Lord, give us a deeper hunger for Your presence, Your Word, Your holiness, and Your will God ❤️❤️

Tonight, we’re coming hungry.

⭐️SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE DAY 3 — PRAY FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL NEVER KNOW

Today’s challenge:
Choose one person—someone who may be struggling, someone you haven’t talked to in a while, someone you know needs God, or even someone you simply feel led to pray for.

Then pray for them by name. 🙏🏻

And here’s the important part: don’t tell them you prayed for them. Let it be something between you and God.

Pray that God would:

* Protect them.
* Strengthen them.
* Heal what is hurting.
* Give them wisdom.
* Draw them closer to Him.
* Meet whatever need they have today.

📖 “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” — James 5:16

Your challenge today:
Pray secretly. Love genuinely. Intercede faithfully. And trust God to do what only He can do.

You may never know what your prayer changed—but God will. ❤️

If you want to participate, comment “PRAYING” below. ❤️

❤️ DAY 2 OF OUR SEPTEMBER JESUS CHALLENGE! 🙌🏼🔥

Yesterday was about starting the month by giving God our first. So today, I think we go one step deeper:

🌿 Day 2: Speak Life

Today’s challenge is simple: use your words or creativity to build someone up.

Find ONE person who may be discouraged, overlooked, hurting, or simply needs to know they matter—and send them a message, call them, or tell them face-to-face something encouraging.

Not because you want anything from them.
Not because they can do anything for you.
Just because Jesus calls us to speak life. ❤️

📖 “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying…” — Ephesians 4:29

And bestie… I think we should make this part of the challenge:

Before you post, send, or create anything today, ask yourself:
“Will these words reflect Jesus?”

Because sometimes our greatest ministry isn’t standing behind a pulpit. It how we live our daily lives 🙌

Sometimes it’s the text message we send, the person we forgive, the encouragement we give, or the words we choose NOT to say. 🥹

DAY 2 CHALLENGE:
✨ Encourage ONE person.
✨ Speak life instead of criticism.
✨ Pray before you respond when you’re frustrated.
✨ Let somebody encounter Jesus through the way you use your words today.

Go be somebody’s reminder that God hasn’t forgotten them. 🫶🏼

09/02/2026

A beautiful friend of mine—someone I haven’t even had the privilege of meeting in person in a while—sent me something today and simply told me, “I thought of you.”

And it honestly made me stop and think about the power of prayer. 🙏🏻

We may never know who God has laid on someone’s heart. We may never know what somebody is walking through behind closed doors. We may never know how badly someone needed the exact prayer, encouragement, Scripture, or word that God put on our hearts to give them.

But THAT is why we pray.
That is why we intercede.
That is why we stand in the gap.

Sometimes God will put someone on your heart for absolutely no apparent reason. PLEASE don’t ignore that prompting. Pray for them. Call their name. Cover their family. Speak the Word over their life. Because there may be a reason in the spirit that you cannot see in the natural.

And sometimes, God will even let you know that somebody was praying for YOU. 🥹❤️

So today, if God puts somebody on your heart—PRAY. Even if you don’t know why. Even if you haven’t talked to them in forever. Even if you don’t know what they need.

There is a reason they crossed your mind.

Let’s be women who don’t just say, “I’ll pray for you.”

LET’S ACTUALLY PRAY. 🙏🏻🔥

“Pray without ceasing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Lord, make us sensitive to Your voice. Give us discernment to recognize the divine interruptions, the names You whisper into our spirits, and the people You are calling us to cover. Let us never be too busy to stop and intercede.

We may not know the need… but we know the One who does. ❤️

Stop dimming your worship to match the room. If they won’t lift their hands, you still can. If they won’t kneel, you still can. If they won’t shout, you still can.

Your praise is not crowd dependent. It is covenant based.

You do not need permission to adore Jesus. You do not need the atmosphere to be right before you decide to worship. You do not need everyone else to go first before you decide to go all the way. You are not called to read the temperature of the room.

You are called to set it.

Worship is not about fitting in. It is about pouring out. Loud. Quiet. On your face. With tears streaming down and hands shaking and no concern whatsoever for who is watching or what they think about how you love Jesus.

It is between you and Him. It has always been between you and Him.

And here is what I have learned about rooms that feel spiritually dry and atmospheres that feel stuck and corporate gatherings where nobody seems to want to move. Sometimes the breakthrough the whole room is waiting for is sitting inside one person who has not decided to go first yet.

One woman who stops caring what she looks like. One woman who decides her covenant with God is louder than her fear of being misunderstood. One woman who lifts her hands in a room full of folded arms and refuses to apologize for it.

That woman changes the atmosphere for everyone. Be that one. Every single time.

Hey ladies! 🌸 Just a reminder about our Bible meeting tonight! You don’t want to miss it! There’s something truly powerful about Godly women gathering together. 💕 Science even shows that when women come together to connect, laugh, share, and encourage one another, our brains release endorphins that boost joy, reduce stress, and strengthen bonds. Now imagine all that while talking about God, His Word, and His goodness! 🙌 Come experience the love, laughter, and life-giving energy that happens when we gather as sisters in Christ. Can’t wait to see you all tonight!

🌸💛 Good Friday Reflections 💛🌸

Today, we pause to stand at the foot of the cross and remember the greatest love story ever told. Jesus, our Savior, willingly took on our pain, our mistakes, and our brokenness—so that we could know true freedom, hope, and everlasting life. His arms stretched wide on that wooden cross are a reminder that nothing we carry is too heavy for Him to bear.✨

As the earth awakens this spring, with flowers pushing through the soil and birds singing their sweet songs, let our hearts awaken too—to gratitude, to faith, and to awe at His incredible mercy. The same Jesus who conquered sin and death did it for you… for me… for every sister reading this today. 💖

Take a moment today to reflect on His sacrifice. Let the truth of His love sink deep into your soul: that no shadow, no fear, no failure, and no burden is too great for Him. He laid down His life so we could live fully—so we could walk in His light, hope, and peace. 🌷

“But He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” – Isaiah 53:5 🙏

May your heart be tender today. May your soul rest in His grace. And may His love inspire you to shine it bright in the lives of everyone around you. Sisters, let us not forget: the cross was not the end—it was the beginning of redemption, renewal, and life everlasting. 🌸💛

Wishing each of you a reflective, peaceful, and hope-filled Good Friday. Let us carry the beauty of His sacrifice in our hearts today and every day. 🌷💖
