Ladies, we’re officially starting! 🤍 For the next 31 days, we’re reading one chapter of Proverbs every day. October 1 = Proverbs 1 October 2 = Proverbs 2 …and October 31 = Proverbs 31. 🌷 Our goal isn’t simply to say, “I read Proverbs.” We want to ask God: How do I LIVE this wisdom? Every day, use these four questions: 📖 What did I read? 💡 What verse stood out to me? 🌱 How can I apply this today? 🙏 What do I need to pray about? I’ll also be posting daily prompts here so we can discuss what God is teaching us. TODAY: Read Proverbs 1. Then come back and comment: 👇🏽 What ONE verse stood out to you most, and why? Don’t worry about having a “perfect” answer. We’re here to learn together. Let’s pursue His wisdom this October. 🤍

🌿 What has God taught you about Himself or your relationship with Him during these seven days?

Happy Sunday, beautiful ladies! I want to share something I’ve been working on, but first, can we talk about how difficult it can be to simply REST? Between motherhood, work, ministry, school and all the responsibilities we carry, sometimes we become so busy serving everyone else that we forget to sit at the feet of Jesus. And when we finally stop, the guilt creeps in. But something the Lord has been teaching me is that rest is not a lack of faithfulness. Sometimes resting is an act of surrender. In Mark 6:31, Jesus invited His disciples to step away and rest. The work wasn’t finished, and people still needed them, yet Jesus recognized their need to pause. That Scripture inspired me to share Rest Without Guilt, a five-day Christian devotional journal from Faithfully Restored. 🌸 Over five days, we’ll explore: 🌿 Resting without feeling lazy 🌿 Finding our worth in Christ rather than productivity 🌿 Honoring our God-given limits 🌿 Establishing healthy boundaries 🌿 Receiving the rest Jesus offers Each day includes Scripture, a devotional reading, guided prayer, reflection questions and space to journal. The journal is now available for $5 as an instant digital download. 📖 Get your copy here: https://faithfullyrbyyelitsa.etsy.com/listing/4583341010 And whether you purchase it or not, I want us to reflect on something together today. 💬 COMMUNITY QUESTION: What is one thing that makes it difficult for you to rest without feeling guilty? Is it motherhood, unfinished responsibilities, the pressure to always be productive or feeling like you’re letting someone down? Share below. Let’s encourage and pray for one another as we learn to rest in Him. 🤍 With love, Yelitsa | Faithfully Restored 💜

Surrender isn't always easy, especially when we're uncertain about what comes next. But Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us to trust the Lord rather than depend entirely on our own understanding. What is one situation you're learning to surrender to God, and what is one step of obedience you can take while trusting Him with the outcome? Remember, surrender doesn't mean having all the answers. Sometimes it means taking one faithful step at a time. 🌿

Sometimes getting closer to God isn't about adding more to our lives, but making room for Him. What is one thing that has been taking up too much space in your heart, mind, or daily life, and what practical step can you take this week to make more room for God? Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Let's encourage one another without judgment. 🤍
