Journaling With Jesus is a sacred space of intimacy with Jesus. He meets us every time as we read His word and present our questions to Him! He answers our questions and pours out His love over us. My favorite time of the week is joining Journaling With Jesus with Mary Ann and the sisters in Christ who open their hearts to hear from and receive the loving kindness of our Savior every single time! His presence and goodness fill the room! We always receive encouragement, blessings, and healing through His word, His voice, and His love! This is a beautiful and tangible way to nourish your soul!

Love Triumps has had a HUGE impact on my life. It has made me a better wife, parent, friend and mentor. We finally met in person in October 2020 and regularly continue to meet.
A bonus is it has brought a community around my mom in such an incredible way that words cannot describe it! This community of prayer warriors loves her, which means the world to me! Now, even my mom leads others in Journaling With Jesus to bring our deep cares to Jesus. Journaling with Jesus is currently being done with the sweet ladies that I work with who have been trafficked and sexually exploited, and that is like gold! What a treasure to my soul and theirs! It has been a place to be real, to be vulnerable, and to find God’s healing for my deepest troubles. More significant than any perspective, it has connected me to Jesus to get HIS perspective on my troubles, which has made all the difference. It has confirmed my true identity as God’s daughter, and now I hear that over any lies that bring shame.
Thank you, Mary Ann Otley, for using your pain to bring so, so, so many to encounter Jesus!

I joined the Prayer Room in Spring 2020 shortly after our world shut down due to COVID 19. This weekly time with the Lord and these women, my sisters in Christ, has blessed and expanded not only my prayer life, but my life in general. Our time together was a true lifeline during the months of quarantine and has since become my "safe place". There is no judging, no impatience with each other's stories or needs- only true Godly love as He ministers to us through each other's stories and lives. I have experienced life changing break through in the Prayer Room- freedom from guilt and shame, unconditional love, divine revelation through Holy Spirit intervention. We laugh and cry together, we encourage each other. It would be difficult to choose a time that stands out more that another because the beautiful truth is God ALWAYS shows up! He shows us His love for each of us as His Daughters....He talks to us and answers our prayers.

Love Triumphs! came into my life at a time when I was lonely and confused and feeling let down by the closest people in my life.
In Journaling With Jesus, I discovered friendship and fellowship with mature Christian women and an opportunity to draw nearer to the Lord.
I appreciate how Mary Ann opens her heart and offers love, time and dedication to any woman seeking closer relationship with the Lord.

You know how when you talk with God sometimes, you’re not sure you’re really listening to Him or making it up in your mind? Well, that doesn’t happen when we come together. In Journaling With Jesus, God speaks to us so clearly. He confirms what He is talking to you through what He tells someone else, or sometimes He gives each of us a part of a puzzle that makes sense when all the pieces come together. It’s simply amazing! It’s wonderful how He can bring a group of ladies from different States and Countries as one, before Him, and draw us close to His heart to whisper to us the sweetest revelations that bring us identity, guidance, love, peace, and joy, among other things. I feel like I’ve known these beautiful ladies for years, and we’ve never even been in the same room once.

It has been a delight and pleasure being under Mary Ann’s Love Triumphs ministry. In Journaling With Jesus, I learned how to hear and connect with God in a whole new way. Most of all, I’ve had the opportunity to see God speak my thoughts and answer my prayers for others without me having to open my mouth. I am so grateful for the space Mary Ann has created for women to connect with and hear from God in the most amazing way.

Through Journaling With Jesus, I feel like I have tasted and seen the goodness of God. The weekly zoom calls are a beautiful place where I am confident that I can come to experience his love, grace, and kindness again and again.
I’m forever grateful for Love Triumphs and the impact it has had on my life.
