Victory Edition (March/April 2019)
Maybe victory isn’t what we think it is. Maybe it isn’t always winning; always getting first; always “lucking out.” Maybe sometimes victory is a dark color, a friend to the girl weeping in her closet. Maybe it's taking all that pain, all that mess, all that fear, and from it we can breathe new life into ourselves and, someday, when we’re okay again, others. Be inspired with our latest edition of OBO.

MARCH/APRIL <strong>2019</strong> OHBELOVEDONE.COM VICTORY IN THE VALLEY<br />
Don't forget the victories<br />
In order to help myself work through my<br />
time of hardship, I started journaling.<br />
I combined a bit of crafting with my<br />
journaling to make it more fun. I have<br />
stickers, Washi tape, stamps, ink, paint,<br />
ribbon and glitter. When I think of<br />
something I want to write down, I get out<br />
my Bible, journal and crafting supplies.<br />
I spread everything out on the table<br />
and I think about what I am learning or<br />
struggling with.<br />
I gather my thoughts and start my journal<br />
page by selecting a colorful piece of<br />
paper that I cut down to fit the page. As<br />
I glue the page down. I start to think of<br />
other papers I will use and write a few<br />
things down. I open my Bible to find<br />
the answers. I try to find an appropriate<br />
verse that goes along with my project.<br />
If you don’t write the victories you will<br />
forget them. Make a list of answered<br />
prayers and miracles.<br />
These pages mark my struggles and the<br />
verses I went to for encouragement.<br />
Months later, as I look through<br />
the journal, I see what I was going<br />
through, how God brought me through<br />
it. I remember answered prayers and<br />
miracles. I look at pages and pages of<br />
growth and victory. obo<br />
