It’s late Wednesday night and you’re on my heart. I’m wondering how you’re doing, and if maybe you are feeling weighed down by self-doubt. God nudged me to pull away from what I was doing (working on preparation for a retreat this weekend) to write a note from my heart. It was totally unplanned, but I wanted to ask if the heaviness of discouragement or a lack of confidence is burdening you ?
If so, I want to invite you to join me on The 7-day Doubt Diet – as we work together to lose the weight of self-doubt – maybe for the first time or maybe a second time for some of you. This is spontaneous too, but I’m really excited about it.
Starting next week, I’ve decided to offer the 7-day Doubt Diet devotions on my website and weave in short stories from my current life circumstances to let you see that I’m on a journey, too. Replacing our lack of self-confidence with lasting God-fidence is a process for each of us, a daily turning towards truth in each and every circumstance that cause us to doubt ourselves or God’s promises in the midst of the unexpected.
And this time, I want us to do the 7-day Doubt Diet – TOGETHER!!
To join me and other women God calls to walk with us, all you need to do is sign up for “Email Updates” so you can receive them each day in your inbox for convenience. There is a small little brown box at the top of my website with a white x in the top right corner. Please sign up there for “email updates” before Sunday – so you will receive the first day’s assignment with everyone else on Sunday. (If you are already signed up, you’ll automatically receive these next week.)
I’m looking forward to really connecting our hearts and praying for each other through this time. If you’re going to join me and sign up, I’d love for you to leave a comment by clicking on “share your thoughts” just below this post. (optional) But, I’d love to know your in, read your name and see your face if you have profile with a headshot (no big deal if you don’t), but this way we can start praying for each other.
Blessings, prayers and big ‘ole hugs,
Renee

Thank you for another invitation to join your 7DD. I bombed out of it the first time you ran it, but in the last month have been plugging through each chapter of ACH. Love it! I will join you again for another 7DD…thanks for thinking of me. 🙂
I signed up for the emails. I am currently in a Made to Crave bible study and I think this will compliment that study. God is grooming me and it is good.
Your email update came just in time; not sure why I keep doubting. I am looking forward joining you again for the 7DD.
Hi Renee, I will be joining you on the ‘7 day doubt diet’.
Renee, Wow I almost thought I was reading a personal letter from you. God sure has a way of using some people. I was just let go from my job last week and I’ve been struggling to not let my mind go down dark alleys. I saw a sign a few months back that I copied in to my phone. “Failure is an event, not a person.” I’ve repeating that to myself, and recently been getting back in to God’s word. Psalm 50 in the Message hit home over the weekend.
Renee,
The brokenness and pain of an unwanted divorce has just poured more self doubt than ever before into my heart. Forced to move into another house, start working again, and daily provide the love & security that my two young children so desperately need, has taken a toll on this girl. And so I cling to my Father, and with a heart desperate for hope, believe that He will bless you through this . And in this I know that you will bless each of us, just waiting…
What a joy to open my inbox and find your email. I love God’s perfect timing. I cannot wait to get started!
Thanks for inviting me I need this so bad, gotta love Gods timing!!
Renee, obviously I’m not the first that needed your message tonight. Thank you so much for your love and willingness to listen even when you are busy. I am so desperately needing this confidence again. I can’t wait to go through the 7DD with you.
very excited about walking this out!
Thank you for this invitation. I am usually upbeat and happy, but lately I have been so discouraged. My husband and I are working on a new ministry and we both feel that this is what God wants us to do. It has just taken a long time to get it started. I pray that God will give us both the confidence that we need. I am looking forward to participating in your 7DD again.
Thanks!
Wow. I’ve read just a few comments of people who said your note was written just for them, but I’m curious how that can be when I’m certain it was written directly to me. 🙂 Just tonight, some heath troubles I really haven’t had to deal with in a year crept up again, and I am feeling like I don’t have the strength to face a flair-up. I’ll definitely be joining you in trashing doubts and trusting God together.
Thank you so much for your email. I will be glad to join the seven day doubt diet again.
This came at a great time. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the invitation I am looking forward to it. The sevil never sleeps and we need ti be one step of him every step and wirh the 7DD I feel I will have the armor that I need to defeat him in my life.
Struggles of this life bring us down day to day, and through the
Grace of god and his promises, we survive!
We will shake the doubt by joining together with ya Renee
You do have a gift from god and I thank you for him putting you in my life
Have a blessed night! 🙂
So excited to join in on this journey.
Hi Renee,
I’m so glad that you are doing this a second time. I signed up for it the first time, but didn’t actually end up doing it. I thought that I didn’t really need to go through it. I thought that didn’t need to deal with that stuff anymore – that it was all in the past. I sure was wrong. I can’t believe how much I need to deal with my teenage insecurities now again at the age of 40. This is all been coming to the front again at my newer work place. I’ve also had a few very emotional dreams where I am a teen again, and felt all those emotions again like it was happening today. I’m wondering if God is telling me that there is more for me to deal with than I originally thought!
Bless you for being obedient to God. I’m looking forward to hearing more personal stories from you!
Hello Renee,
When I opened your email tonight I felt a rush of peace come over me. It has been such a struggle lately.
I really needed these words of encouragement. Thank you! Satan has been attacking from every direction it seems. I definitely want to replace my lack of self-confidence with lasting God-fidence.
Yes, I do wanna go on the 7 day doubt diet! God is so good and I want to stand confidently in His promises!!!
Blessings, prayers and big ‘ole hugs to you too!

I missed this the last time too. I’m so glad you are doing it again. I really need to work on this. I have your book and have been trying to get to read it.
I thought you sent that invitation to receive the 7DD e-mails just to me! It was like you read my mind!! God knows just when we need the encouragement, doesn’ t He? Thank you!
