A special note from reinvention strategist and life coach, Marshawn Evans Daniels

Every woman longs to be seen, selected, and significant. Isn’t it interesting that we long for what we already are? In the eyes of God, we’re already everything heaven ever wanted and more. But as women, we often don’t feel that way.

We wrestle with self-doubt, worry, perfectionism, toxic thinking, and surrender. And that’s just this morning! Navigating the twists and turns of a faith adventure with God isn’t always the picturesque garden stroll depicted. I used to feel a deep disconnect with how we “beautify” the gospel. It creates an impossible standard, leading us to feel as if we have to look and talk the part. If we don’t, we feel flawed, broken, and in need of so much work that we couldn’t possibly be ready for God to use us right now.

If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone. It's my hope that during our time together, you’ll embrace the courage it takes to truly believe bigger about who you are, why you matter, and what you’re here to do right now for such a time as this.

Pillar 1: Daily Scripture

It’s important that we anchor our spiritual growth in the Word of God. It’s the soil that enables us to grow and multiply.

Pillar 2: Devotional Teaching

Each daily lesson is designed to give you a chance to place the Scripture in context and relate it to your personal life.

Pillar 3: Journaling Prompts

Guided journaling enables you to immediately engage the Holy Spirit with your specific questions.

Pillar 4: Bold Prayers

God already knows the desires of our heart, so simple + bold prayers make it easier for us to focus on intention instead of wordiness.

Sample Devotion Teaching

Purpose is not just a fancy way of finding your passion. It’s the process of entering God’s plan. It’s about discovering your divine assignment and fulfilling your God- given life mission. Here’s the thing: stepping into what God has for you will always require you to believe bigger. You see, to believe bigger means to believe beyond who you think you are. It requires you to be willing to see yourself as necessary, incredibly gifted, and limitlessly impactful. God neither consults your past nor your résumé when He maps out your future. And He isn’t confined to your passions either. Those are the things you’ve learned to do— your formed identity. But in order to enter a new level of impact and meaning, you must be willing to embrace your true born identity. How you see yourself will determine what you see for yourself.

Guided Journal Thought

How is your past—the ups and downs—possibly blocking you from believing in your untapped potential?

Guided Prayer to Pray

Lord, give me Your eyes to see myself the way You see me. Help me to grasp both the magnitude and the simplicity of Your higher calling and purpose for my life. And give me the courage to believe in what You have for me.

AMEN.

A Note From Author Candace Cameron Bure

The help of heaven has been constantly available in my day-to-day juggling act as a woman, a wife, a mom, a working mom, and most importantly, as someone who longs to point people to God in whatever I do or say. Yet as a doer and a dreamer with lots of plans, I haven’t always taken time to access those resources. The older I get, though, the easier it is for me to admit: I need all the joy and strength God will give me! Especially His joy and strength!

For 100 days, let’s take this journey as sisters, praying for each other and exploring the various ways the Lord can be both our joy and our strength. Whether we’re having an ocean-breezy day, a lacking-courage day, a messy-house day, or an I’m-overwhelmed-and-can’t-do-another-thing kinda day, God can remain the center and the focus of it all. And we and those we love will be better for it.

Enjoy a short heartfelt and personal devotion for daily inspiration.

"Before you commit to today’s “places to be” and “things to do,” ask God what He has prepared for you. After all, He made the day with you in mind. You can trust what He has awaiting you." –Candace Cameron Bure

Each day reveals God's Promise for you with space for journaling and the reflections of your heart.

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. JAMES 1:17 NASB

Dedicate your heart and your day to God through 100 guided prayers

"I pray His strength, and joy, and abiding peace over you as you live for Him. And may He, the God of hope, “fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13)." –Candace Cameron Bure

Sample Devotional Excerpt

No spiritual transformation in history compares to the apostle Paul’s. Within only three years of his conversion, he went from persecuting Christians to their death, to debating religious teachers and astonishing listeners with his fearless preaching of Jesus as the Son of God.

He could do these things because he immersed himself in the teaching of Christ as a new believer. “I received my message from no human source,” he explained later. “I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ” (Galatians 1:12 NLT).

Like us, Paul didn’t have the advantage of knowing Jesus while he walked the earth; he had what we have: the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit, and a relationship with Christ. That was his seminary, so to speak. Through that training, God equipped Paul to instruct pastors, plant churches, and evangelize the unsaved all over the ancient world—and the ripple effect of his ministry reaches to us today.

His experience excites me so much! What might God do through us as we invest time in Bible reading and prayer?

Clearly, God doesn’t care how long we’ve been a Christian. He doesn’t disqualify us because we’re in the early days of our faith. He can teach us, purpose us, use us from the start of our salvation—or at any point thereafter.

His Word makes the difference, illuminating who Jesus is and God’s incredible plans for us. Nothing else turns up the light so quickly.

Prayer

What a gift Your Word is! Knowing that the Holy Spirit will take Your teachings and enlighten my soul every time I open up my Bible is a game changer.
