Like most journeys in life mine started with a question, a seeking of an answer.

I don’t remember what prompted the question but I clearly remember sitting at my desk starring at the yellow-gold drapes that blocked my view out the window and realizing that after spending most of my life in the Church I still felt immature and in honest reflection could not call myself a mature Christian.  I remember thinking about this and saying to myself “There’s got to be more?”  I wasn’t even asking the question to God but more self-analyzing where I was in my walk with Jesus and finding it very lacking but not knowing how I was to change it.  I was involved in my Church; at one time I was nursery worker then a young adult leader, did Bible study once a week, went to Church every Sunday and when I had children of my own I started teaching in the 3-5 year old class.  I was doing everything “right” yet I felt an emptiness.  I just couldn’t put a finger on what the problem was.

Then shortly after this contemplation I was sitting in Church and they were talking about the next water baptismal day.  I had grown up in the Catholic system so had been baptized as a baby and hadn’t felt the need to be baptized as an adult.  But that morning I don’t know how to describe it but I felt like I heard the words “The time is now”.  It was one of those moments where there is no doubt that God was telling me to do something.

And I’m so happy that I obeyed because being baptized has been an amazing start to a new life that absolutely fills and completes me.  I no longer have a faith that is dead but full of life and passion.

God started revealing truths to me like about creation and spiritual warfare.  The Bible started coming alive to me and as I allowed God to continue to sanctify me, to cut the ungodliness out of my life, I’ve found a peace and joy that no one can touch or take away from me.

I was so excited at what God was showing me and how it was transforming my life.  I started seeing and understanding what it meant to be a true follower of Jesus and I wanted to share what I’d learned with others but had no idea how to go about it.

After over a year of praying and conflict of what my purpose was, God in His perfect timing gave me the book It’s Time to Fight, then Sanctification Day By Day and shortly after the Y.E.S Community.  Doing a Christian Women’s Ministry was not something I’d ever thought I’d do but God has put such a passion in me to share what He has shown me and to support other women to stand on God’s Word, have a passion filled life with Jesus and to have fellowship where we can grow and be prayer warriors for each other.

So if you’re currently in the spot I was a couple of years ago wondering what’s missing in your faith or if you’re just looking to get deeper into God’s Word and have fellowship with other sisters I encourage to check out the website as well as the book It’s Time to Fight and the Y.E.S community that’s coming out soon.
