We are continuing our 30 Days of Gratitude! If you missed the scoop about why we’re celebrating, be sure to check out Episode One. Yesterday, I talked about God’s endless love. Today, we’re going to be discussing Day Thirty’s topic: Now.

We are at the last day of our 30 Days of Gratitude, and I’m so grateful for you sticking with it! I pray that even though this series of podcasts is over, we will all continue to be grateful for everything we have been given and everything we have endured.

As I told you a couple of days ago, I have some really amazing content planned for December, so be sure to check back in daily for lots of tea, encouragement, love and laughter! Now let’s close this thing out with Day 30 from my devotional.

“On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, ‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.’ When he saw them he said to them, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus answered, ‘Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?’ And he said to him, ‘Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.’”

Luke 17:11-19 (ESV)

~ Today’s Declaration ~
NOW is the time. I am responsible for my life.

YOU DID IT!!!! Today is the last day. You did it. I can’t tell you how proud I am of you. I am so so so so proud! I could cry! I am sitting here smiling at the thought of you getting through all of these stories, scriptures, lines on the paper, all of it. I am SO PROUD of you.

Thank you SO MUCH for sticking this out. Thank you SO MUCH for doing the work. I appreciate it, and I know your soul appreciates it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Now… Now. Now is the time to move forward. This is it. There’s no better time. Now. Right now. Put one foot in front of the other, and keep going. You can always refer back to this book any time you get ready – and as a matter of fact, I encourage you to. I recommend it. You’ll be surprised by how much you’ve grown.

Listen. Jesus went to a village. He saw the lepers. They asked for mercy. He simply told them to go and show themselves to the priests. The Bible says that they were healed AS THEY WENT. They had to make steps. They had to start walking. ALL OF THEM were healed. ALL OF THEM. However, only one turned around, went back to Jesus, and thanked Him. Guess what he was? Yep. A Samaritan. Remember? Yes indeed. A Samaritan. Amazing.

You don’t owe me anything. I just ask that you let the way you LIVE be your “thank you”. Let your LIFE be your praise to God. YOUR faith made you well. It wasn’t my doing. You should feel so good! YOU DID IT! Wow. YOU DID IT! Celebrate!

Have an amazing day today. Show love to yourself AND others.  Be GREAT! I speak life to you and everyone and everything connected to you! Catch me tomorrow!

XOXO,

Na’Kole ♥
