Gratitude Journal: June 19th

Father God, how astonishing it is to me that I can turn to you for protection, for counsel, and for comfort!

Sometimes I turn to you like a small child, bewildered by the injustices of the world, crying out that it’s not fair.

Sometimes I’m more like a teenager, returning to your arms after some act of rebellion.

Sometimes I look back over my life and wonder at the gifts you’ve given me, like an adult remembering the care of her parents. As Jesus called you father, so can I-how amazing and wonderful that is!

Good morning, thought I would share something from my gratitude journal to help someone in need of a message this morning. With everything going on in the world 🌎 we have to just sit and give thanks!

Ms. Fran😊

Welcome, My name is Olivia Shepherd, and I am the founder of this awesome blog about depression and mental illness. I started this blog in 2016 after being diagnosed with Major Depression, Anxiety and PTSD. I didn't have anybody to talk too or share my feelings with, so I decided to share them publicly to help others. I'm passionate and dedicated to bringing awareness about mental health, especially in the African American community. I also want to empower your voice to speak up and fight the stigma surrounding this illness. I’m also the founder of AshesToBeauty Mentoring & Outreach, a virtual online service dedicated to to the positive development and accelerated recovery of girls and women who have experienced abuse and depression, Ashes To Beauty strives to empower women to take their lives back by providing life skill education, one-on-one mentorship and impactful personal tools by which these impacted women can build the foundation for a successful future. Look forward to having you read my blog, 𝓞𝓵𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓪 𝓑. 𝓢𝓱𝓮𝓹𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓭 💋 View more posts
