June Spiritual Awaking Challenge

Shalam Family!!

This month the sisters are unifying spiritually in a journal challenge. Each day we will be answering the hard questions about our current spiritual state that will force us to really focus on our weaknesses and give us an opportunity to ask for spiritual healing from Yahawah.

We welcome anyone who would like to go do this path of spiritual awaking and healing with us.

All you will need is a dedicated journal for this challenge. Keeping a dedicated journal for this is does allow for easy tracking of your spiritual health.

Each entry will include 4 parts and the challenge will be posted daily

1. Reading and writing of the daily scripture (Tip: To make the scripture even more personal, write it in the first person)

2. Spiritual question to be answered. Answer the question honestly and in detail, remember no one will see this but you, if you really want to get the most out of these challenges you have to be completely honest with yourself.

3. Adding of an additional scripture that goes with your answer/response

4. Writing of a short prayer to Yahawah

And let the journaling begin....

Thawadah to everyone that took this challenge to heart and was really honest with themselves through each question. I do hope you keep these close to you and reflect back on them throughout your journey to be able to see how much you have grown or to see where you still have hangups.

I love you all and pray the Most High keep you protected under him.
