✨ A Heart of Gratitude Moment ✨

This morning’s coffee-and-journaling time came with the sweetest surprise…

I received this beautiful message from JoAnne about A Heart of Gratitude: Align With Love, and it blessed me so deeply I wanted to share it with you:

🌿 **“In a world overwhelmed by noise, anxiety, and distraction, A Heart of Gratitude: Align With Love stopped me in my tracks.
Your work gently calls readers back to the quiet places where healing begins.

Your ability to weave Scripture, reflection, and creative expression into a sacred practice is powerful. Gratitude is often treated like a casual idea, but you restore it to what it truly is: a spiritual rhythm that can ground, renew, and transform the heart.
That depth is rare — and exactly what so many readers are searching for right now.”
— JoAnne** 🌿

Her words are such a reminder of why these journals were created:
🕊️ to slow down
🕊️ to breathe
🕊️ to listen
🕊️ to align with Love

If you’re seeking a gentle, Scripture-rooted practice to anchor your days, the Align With Love series is here to bless you — one page, one prayer, one grateful breath at a time.

Shalom & Love,
Chaplain Shawnna Schmidt - Author, Align With Love

Run Woman Run
Run Woman Run is a devotional coloring journal for women of faith who are ready to lay down what hinders, rise with courage, and keep their eyes fixed on Yeshua.
Inspired by Hebrews 12:1–2, this interactive journal reminds you that you are not running alone. You are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses—women who prayed, prophesied, taught, served, worshiped, endured, proclaimed the Good News, and faithfully followed Elohim.
Through beautifully detailed coloring pages, Scripture-centered reflections, and guided journaling spaces, Run Woman Run invites you to slow down, pray, reflect, and rediscover the courage God has placed within you.
Journey alongside the faithful women of Scripture, including:
• Deborah
• Jael
• Hannah
• Huldah
• Esther
• Ruth
• Rahab
• Miriam
• Mary, the mother of Yeshua
• Mary Magdalene
• Priscilla
• Phoebe
Each woman's story reminds us that Elohim has never forgotten His daughters. Throughout Scripture He has called women to lives of wisdom, prayer, courage, discernment, loyalty, worship, surrender, faithful witness, and holy boldness.
This journal provides a peaceful place to color, pray, write, and listen for the gentle voice of Elohim as He encourages your own journey of faith.
Run with perseverance.
Run with the cloud of witnesses.
Run toward Yeshua.
Part of the Align With Love™ Series
The Align With Love™ series is more than a collection of books—it is an invitation into a daily rhythm of faith. Each volume encourages readers to move beyond simply reading Scripture to engaging with it through prayer, journaling, creative expression, and thoughtful reflection. Every page is designed to help cultivate a life intentionally aligned with the love of God.
About the Author
Chaplain Shawnna Schmidt is a Christian author, chaplain, speaker, and founder of the Align With Love™ devotional series and Movement of The Way™, a growing collection of books and resources that encourage readers to cultivate a deeper, more personal walk with God.
A Nebraska native now living in central Minnesota, Shawnna has spent a lifetime writing—from editing her college newspaper and developing educational curriculum to creating faith-based devotionals, journals, and educational resources inspired by years of ministry, motherhood, and caregiving.
She and her family own a little coffee shop in central Minnesota, a community gathering place created to provide meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with special needs. They are also co-founders of Selah For Life, a ministry devoted to caring for the spirit, mind, and body.
Run Woman Run was born from Shawnna's desire to encourage women to embrace the call God has placed on their lives with courage, faith, and perseverance. Drawing inspiration from the women of Scripture, she reminds readers that God has always called, equipped, and walked alongside women who were willing to say, "Yes."
When she isn't writing, you'll often find her gathered around a table with family and friends over coffee or tea, encouraging others through conversation, creativity, and faith.
"May you run your race with endurance, keep your eyes on Yeshua, and never forget—you do not run alone."

Run, woman —
not away from Yeshua, but toward Him.
Run from what hinders.
Run from what entangles.
Run from systems that crush the image of Elohim in women.
Run with perseverance.
Run with the cloud of witnesses.
Run with Mary Magdalene, Priscilla, Phoebe, Junia, Deborah, Huldah, Miriam, Anna the prophetess, and every faithful woman who refused to disappear.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses…”
We are not running alone.
We run with the women who came before us.
Women who prayed.
Women who prophesied.
Women who taught.
Women who carried the good news.
Women who stayed when others fled.
Women who stood at the cross.
Women who went to the tomb.
Women who were sent by Yeshua Himself.
We throw off everything that hinders —
every system, doctrine, tradition, and fear that entangles women and keeps them from walking fully in their God-given calling.
And we fix our eyes on Yeshua.
Not on the gatekeepers.
Not on the councils.
Not on the votes of men.
Not on institutions that mistake control for holiness.
We fix our eyes on Yeshua, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
Because the race marked out for women was never silence.
It was faithfulness.
It was witness.
It was courage.
It was resurrection proclamation.
Run, girl, run.
Run, woman, run.
Not from the gospel — but from anything pretending to be the gospel while wounding the daughters of God.
