Come discouraged.
Leave uplifted.

Hey, sis.

Let me show you how I did it!

Let me show you how I did it!

Maybe you mustered up enough courage to open up with a trusted friend about how you feel, but you felt shut down by their well-meaning advice to “have more faith.”

Inviting others into the places where our faith has become weak may make them uncomfortable, 
but God isn’t threatened by our doubts or disappointments because He knows that…

Does admitting life is hard mean that
God isn’t good?

…The hard places are where He meets us. 

Here’s a truth worth considering:
If you’re saying,”I don’t feel thankful,” 
Know that you don’t have to feel thankful to be thankful.

WANT TO KNOW HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE?

In the darkest moments of my life, when I couldn’t diligently seek God, I learned that the pathway to contentment begins with the discipline of thanksgiving.
 
As I kept track of what God was doing in, through and for me, I realized it wasn’t enough for me to keep it to myself or only in a journal –I needed to share it.

No, my situation hadn’t changed and, no, I didn’t have the answers to my heart’s unanswered questions,
BUT I DID HAVE A COMMUNITY.



And in 2013, I was in a dark place in life– a place where it hurt to smile and I could no longer pretend that I was happy.

HEY, I'M jamia.

And now, I want to extend that same invitation to you!

A community of women, living lives of purpose, cultivating hearts of gratitude and learning how to persevere through hard times/ keep going in the midst of hard times.
