Transformation Tuesday-Let Christ Take Over Your Thoughts

Transformation Tuesday with Dashonia Marie — January 6, 2026

Let Christ Take Over Your Thoughts

Beautiful woman… today we’re going straight to the heart of it.
Real transformation does not happen by positive thinking alone.
It does not happen by motivation, discipline, or trying to “do better.”
Real transformation happens when Christ takes over the way you think.
Many women want Christ to change their situation, their relationships, their emotions, and their outcomes — but hesitate when it comes to letting Him change their thoughts. And yet, your thought life is where most battles are won or lost.
Because what occupies your mind eventually directs your life.
If fear dominates your thoughts, fear will lead your decisions.
If shame dominates your thoughts, shame will shape your identity.
If control dominates your thoughts, peace will always feel out of reach.
But when Christ captivates your thoughts, everything begins to shift.
This is where true renewal happens — not at the surface, but at the source.
Letting Christ change the way you think means you stop letting old voices, past wounds, trauma, rejection, and survival instincts have the final say. It means you allow the voice of truth to become louder than the noise in your mind.
And let me be honest with you — this is not automatic.
It is intentional.
It is daily.
It is surrendered.

Transformation begins when Christ becomes Lord over your thought life.

Not just Savior of your soul — but Leader of your mind.
That means:
  • inviting Him into anxious thoughts instead of hiding them
  • submitting fearful thinking instead of just managing it
  • letting Him challenge the lies you’ve lived with
  • allowing Him to redefine how you see yourself
  • trusting His truth over your emotions
Many women say, “I trust God,” but still let anxiety, overthinking, and fear make the decisions. And Christ isn’t asking to just visit your thoughts — He wants to rule them.
When Christ captivates your mind:
  • you stop replaying the past
  • you stop rehearsing worst-case scenarios
  • you stop living from old labels
  • you stop letting offense and pain control you
  • you start thinking with clarity, truth, and peace
This is why behavior changes naturally when your mind is renewed by Him.
You don’t have to force growth — it flows from alignment.
Let me share this with you transparently…
There were seasons where I loved Jesus, served Him, and believed in Him — yet my mind was still controlled by fear, trauma, and self-doubt. And I had to learn that loving Christ does not automatically mean surrendering my thoughts to Christ.
That was a choice I had to make — over and over again.
And beautiful woman, I want you to know this:
Christ does not shame you for your thoughts — He transforms them.
He does not condemn your struggle — He meets you in it.
He does not rush the process — He walks with you through it.
So today, on Transformation Tuesday, I want you to pause and ask yourself:
  • What thoughts have I been allowing that Christ is asking to change?
  • Where am I thinking from fear instead of faith?
  • What would my life look like if Christ truly led my thinking?
Because when Christ changes your mind, He changes your direction.
When Christ captivates your thoughts, He brings peace to your soul.
And when Christ leads your mind, your life begins to reflect His truth.
This year, don’t just ask God to bless your plans.
Invite Christ to renew your mind.
Because that is where real transformation begins.

From Chains to Change — How God Redeemed My Life

Hey, Resilient Woman — Your Healing Starts Here

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and turn it into a story of strength, purpose, and redemption. I’ve walked through the fire — addiction, trauma, loss, and pain that tried to silence my purpose — but God’s grace met me in the ashes and taught me how to rise.

I know what it feels like to be broken, to question your worth, and to wonder if freedom is even possible. But I also know what it means to encounter the healing power of God — the kind that restores what was stolen, rewrites your identity, and breathes new life into weary hearts.

Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I’ve made it my mission to walk beside women like you — women who are ready to break cycles, renew their minds, and rediscover the woman God created them to be. This is not about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about learning that your past does not define you — God’s promise does.

As a Certified Addiction Counselor and Faith-Based Recovery Coach, I don’t just offer sessions; I offer safe spaces — places where healing is nurtured, faith is strengthened, and transformation begins from the inside out.

I believe every woman has a comeback story waiting to be written — and I’m here to help you write yours. Because if God could redeem my life, He can surely restore yours. 

Healing is possible. Hope is real. Freedom is yours — and it starts with saying yes.

With love and grace,

Dashonia Marie
