"40 Days of Healing Journal"  by Danyelle Scroggins

My Thoughts....

This was definite a clearly well thought out journal about fasting....& praying with wonderful scriptures.

Here is the starting of how this journal is presented to the reader which is very easy to follow.

"It is about laying aside that thing or those things that obstruct you from being the best person you can be, and believing the denying of yourself, gives God room to maximize your potential at becoming the best you, or opening channels for your to receive answered prayers."

"For the next forty days...you are to commit to giving ups something like...Soda, Sweets, Lying, Facebook, Social Media, The Telephone, Cell Phone, Gambling, Alcohol, Gossiping, Sex, Wine, Television, Something but faithfully for the next 40 days!"

I can definitely pick one or more of these!

Write the one what you are giving up....

I'm Giving up....

Why I chose to give up this is...because....

Day 1 Psalm 95:7-8

During this time of fasting and prayer we are to remember to meditate each day to hear the voice of God.

Don't let anyone turn you from the fact you have picked up this book!

'Set your mind to wind because whatever the 'it' is in your life that is keeping you from your next level, 'it' must go down, so you can get up!

Your prayer for today:

What has God spoken for you to do but because your heart is hard, you can't seem to find a way through to do?

After the 40 days are up, what would you desire to have gained?

This was day one...now to work through 39 more days....

My Declaration:

My 'It' Has to Go In Jesus' Name

Day 2  Matthew 4: 17

And this goes on through to Day 40 with each day receiving a word from the author as she leaves  a word for you...

"There's no excuse for turning back after  39 days ago.  Move Forward with this new mindset and a will to work the Word in your life, because baby, if you Work the word the Word will Work for you,"

The Aftermath   Isaiah 41:9-11

Our Faith   Galatians 3:6-9

The End... "Is never complete until God says so!"

After I went through this journal  I found it well written and giving one so much important divine inspirational information that will only help 'renew ones total mind, body and spirit.'  I loved how after each day,  one is to write their prayers.  Wow, what one can get through fasting and prayers!

This journey was beautifully well done and anyone can follow along each of the 40 days  and be truly blessed. Would I recommend?  Definitely yes!  I plan on starting my 40 days soon.

Thank you to the author for permitting me to read about your journal... "40 Days of Healing Journal."

So Vicki gets busted for the Young Trib's Force's  newsletter, The Underground. 

Okay, here is my issue. How is she being sent away to a detention center for hardened young criminals with no proof? I understand that things have gotten extreme, but really?

Of course, she breaks out. Or is "fostered" out, but she ruins that immediately.

I get that she's on a mission from God, and all that, but could she not take a few minutes to enjoy the fact that she just totally lucked out? These people chose her to take care of, and what does she do? Contact their daughter, the one thing they couldn't tolerate.

Stupid!

I'm not going to lie. I feel sorry for these kids. Their all orphans and they really have no way to care for themselves. (Good (and convenient) thing Judd's dad was rich). 

However, I think that three of the kids, Judd, Vicki, and Lionel, were convinced a little too easily. I get that they grew up hearing about the Rapture, but they didn't even question it when it happened. Again, that seemed convenient to me. I would think that there would at least be a little bit of denial there. I think making them instant believers moved the plot along, and given that this is Left Behind: The Kids, Jenkins and LaHaye want to make the plot snappy to keep the interest of young people. And since I probably should be reading the adult books, which are probably more my speed (and I fully intend to get to those when I complete this series), I shouldn't complain too much. 

I think the only character who reacted realistically was Ryan, the obligatory skeptic of the group. Of course, he didn't want to believe that his parents died unsaved and went to Hell. What twelve year-old would? 

I'm very interested in what happens to them. Will they get to stay together in Judd's house? Will the authorities say they need adult supervision and split them up?

I'll find out :)
