Stepping out in Faith~

Wow, to say I am a little nervous to take this step is an understatement. God had placed this additional blog on my heart several months ago.

For those who do not know, my sister, and best friend Diana have our ministry blog site "Shakin' the Foundation" and for me to step out and add another one to my resume' of blogger is a honor and blessing.

However it is a tad bit scary to start something new......

But that is what God does with His children.....

He has us to step out of our comfort zone into the unknown.....

He brings us to a new place of uncertainties, only to have us learn a new level of faith in Him. 

He tells us to despise not small beginnings.....


So here I am, at a new place, biting my finger nails, twirling my hair between my fingers,and breathing deeply as I take this new step.


 In the near future, I will be introducing a few ladies that will be guest blogging here on a regular basis. I am honored that these women are in my life and can't wait for them to become apart of yours.

Some are old friends .....

Some are new......

And  each one holds a special place in my heart~

Be encouraged as they tell their stories of times where it seemed as if there was no place to go, no hope, no love and no healing.

Stories of God's grace and love in their lives as they too "stood" through their trials, their hardships and their battles.

See the "before", the "during" and the "after" of God's victory in each and every one of our stories~

See His love~

See that you are not alone~


Welcome to "She Stands"

Much Love~

When My Puzzle Pieces Do Not Fit

Putting a puzzle together can be fun, enjoyable and somewhat a relaxing time when the pieces all fit correctly the first time.  However when it is a puzzle with thousands of little pieces that require a great deal of time trying to figure out what piece goes where it can become frustrating, at least for me. Many times I have had to rely on the box top picture to navigate me through the placing of each piece and even that process can be irritating. Eventually the pieces do all fit exactly the way they were created to fit and the perfect picture is formed.It is a victory of sorts for me as patience is not my best quality.

 But what about when our life's pieces are not fitting together?

I had this certain picture I created in my mind, a picture how my own pieces were to fit together, my perfect box top per say. However the pieces I chose I could not force them to fit. No matter how I placed them, pushed them together, they still would not connect. My box top picture was not the pr…

She Shut The Door And Poured

2 Kings 4:5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.   2 Kings chapter 4 tells the story of a widow woman on the verge of losing her sons to pay off the debits owed. With creditors on their way to take her only means of future support, she cries out to the prophet Elisha. Following his instructions, vessels are gathered and the little bit of oil she has begins to flow in abundance..... after she shuts the door. With many vessels now full, she is able to sell the oil, pay the debits owed and her sons remain with her. She shut the door and poured it out....... Those words erupt in my heart. A Godly woman she was. she poured her heart out and her needs were met. But she shut the door! Too many times in life I have a need , a wanting, a desire but yet can not hear what the Lord would say all because I have left the door open; a open door allowing the voices of the world to pour into my heart and not the promises …

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me.

Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life.

The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the intent of replacing; replacing with those thin…
