I will be found by you, says the LORD....” Jeremiah 29:11-14

“We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. For even Christ pleased not Himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on Me. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” Romans 15:1-5
“Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2
Everything changes when we're careful not to complain about our blessings graciously given by the Lord. May this printable journal help our first focus be giving thanks. Taking a few moments every day to reflect on these gifts, big and small, and all of the ones in between, changes us on the inside and the outside!
Testimonials
"I had recently been struggling over a situation. I had been praying and hoping for answers. The answers did not come, and my peace was gone, and chaos crept in, leaving me feeling out of sorts. After talking with Rita and Melissa, they both gave me Scripture, encouragement, and advice on changing the way I was praying over my situation. That evening, my approach to prayer was different, and the next morning, the Lord showed me why I was feeling all that chaos and how I could change it. Wow, what a big difference it made, all because of the way I had prayed over my situation. My peace is back- Praise the Lord! Thank you, ladies! I’m so excited to be here and to see what we all can accomplish together!"
“Rita’s vast personal experience through difficult situations coupled with her extensive counseling education makes her a compassionate and very competent counselor. I know her to be trustworthy and patient in counseling. She is also accommodating with her schedule. I would highly recommend her services!”
"I have been working with Rita Bowman over the past year. I appreciate her Biblical wisdom, mental health knowledge, and the warmth over the past year, specifically for the support she gives while I am dealing with situations that heighten my anxiety and depression. Knowing that Rita is just a text away has been a HUGE blessing during this extremely difficult time. My mental health has improved over the past year, as I have shorter periods of not being able to function normally. Rita's expertise in mental health has proven very beneficial to my complex circumstances. Often being reminded that God has this under control and that I am a child of God. I am thankful for the time spent under Rita's professional care."
