Hey Sis! 🎙️

✨ A Tribute in Memory of My Dad ✨

Happy Monday and welcome to a special episode as we step into 2025 together. Today’s episode is different, as my life is deeply different right now.

This episode is my tribute to the man who profoundly shaped my faith. In honor of him, today I’m sharing 8 lessons about faith and life that I’ve learned through my Dad’s walk with the Lord, in hopes they inspire you to live and reflect Christ daily.

📖 Biblical Affirmation "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." – Psalm 118:24

🌟 Lessons from My Dad's Faith Walk: 1️⃣ Do your best – Colossians 3:23 2️⃣ Be kind – Jeremiah 31:3 3️⃣ Don’t complain about others – James 5:9 4️⃣ Express gratitude often – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 5️⃣ Model your faith for your children – Proverbs 22:6 6️⃣ Allow God to be your default in hard times 7️⃣ Share the Lord with everyone – in words and actions 8️⃣ Trust God at all times – His heart is always good

💌 Invitation to Follow Jesus If you’re ready to commit or recommit your life to Christ, join me in prayer today. Heaven is celebrating YOU!

I’m taking a pause from daily episodes to grieve this significant loss and nurture my soul. I plan to return in February, trusting God’s perfect timing. In the meantime:

• Join our free community for weekly devotionals inspired by Our Daily Bread 💕
• Explore resources to grow in your faith on circletimeforthesoul.com

Let’s trust God together in this season. 🎧 See you soon, Sis. You are loved! 💜

May the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Love y’all ❤️

Diana Marie

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today, we’re diving into the power of gratitude and its transformative impact on our spiritual lives—even when life feels messy.

We’ll reflect on God’s blessings, uncover truths from Mark 2, and wrap up our devotional series with Day 9 of Joyce Meyer’s Where is God in My Mess? Take a moment right now to thank the Lord for one thing He’s done in your life this week. No matter where you are, there’s always a reason to give thanks!

📖 Scripture Focus: Mark 2:4-5 & 10-12

• Jesus shows us that healing isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual and eternal.
• When we hear God speak, faith calls us to act, just as the paralyzed man did.
• Your healing journey is also a testimony for others, pointing them to the Healer.

🌼 Devotional Discussion: Day 9: Count Your Blessings

• Key Takeaway: A thankful heart unlocks joy, strengthens faith, and keeps the enemy at bay.
• Philippians 4:6 reminds us to approach God with gratitude in every situation.
• Gratitude transforms how we see our circumstances, releasing hope, faith, and joy.

✅ Practical Tip: Start a "Praise Report" list in your phone or journal. Reflecting on God's blessings helps you see His hand in your life, especially during hard times.

💌 Connect With Us: Want to continue the gratitude conversation? Join our ladies-only Facebook group where we’ll share praise reports and build each other up in faith. Don’t forget to invite your besties to join us!

🌟 Closing Encouragement: Sis, gratitude changes everything. Let’s choose thankfulness today and watch how God works in our hearts and lives. Love you, and I pray the rest of your day is the best of your day!

❤️ You Are Loved

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode of Circle Time for The Soul is all about the journey of faith and God’s incredible way of preparing us, often without us even realizing it. If you’ve ever doubted the impact of your own story or wondered if your testimony is “enough,” this episode is for you.

Here’s what you’ll hear today:

• The Power of Your Testimony: You don’t need a dramatic story to make a powerful impact. We’ll redefine what a testimony is and why God uses each of our stories in unique ways to touch lives.
• My Journey Through Music & Faith: I’ll share how God used unexpected twists and turns in my career as a teacher to lead me toward His ultimate purpose for my life. From teaching music to exploring new dreams, every step prepared me for the next.
• Recognizing God’s Hand in Your Career: Whether you’re in an office, at home, or teaching a class, God is there, leading you. We’ll talk about how to bring your faith into your workplace, whatever that may look like.
• Trusting God’s Timing: When things don’t go according to plan, it’s easy to feel lost or discouraged. But I’ll share how God’s timing, even when it felt delayed, was perfectly aligned with His plans for me.

Scripture Reference: We’re leaning into Jeremiah 29:11 today – a reminder that God knows the plans He has for us, and they are good plans filled with hope and a future.

It’s sure to speak to your heart.

❤️ You Are Loved
