I have been so humbled today. I have had struggles in my past and the choices I have made. I am not a perfect Christian and I know there are no perfect people but I had reservations about if I truly could follow this dream. I have been blessed in countless ways from having Michelle and Karma a part of my life. We have been through so much together, they know my secrets and weaknesses, they have helped me become a better person. For years we have talked about our dream of sharing faithbooking and bringing it more main stream in the scrapbooking industry. But there was a fear inside of me holding me back…a fear of not being a good enough example and a fear of sharing my true feelings. That people would be judging me or criticizing my beliefs.
We made up our minds to get this started to make it happen not waiting any longer for a perfect plan (which I often do) We started and it has been so rewarding. The stories and people we have already connected to have touched my heart so much. They have humbled me and I can not tell you how much this support means to me. In just three short weeks my testimony has been strengthened so much. I truly have found inner strength in your messages. I know that God did not give us the spirit of fear. That fear is coming from the adversary. The Lord has blessed my life with great friends, women who have been such great example to me in my life, the power of prayer, and a love for the gospel.
Thank you for your support and for sharing your thoughts, prayers and supporting us!
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and of sound mind. -2 TIMOTHY 1:7

Thank you for trusting GOD. It is wonderful to have a safe place where christian women can talk and scrap/stamp. Obedience is greater then sacrifice.(1sam15:22) Thank so much for you obedience. Just remember God knows the beginning for the end. He knows what is coming your way and he has prepared you for it. So my sister be Blessed and keep trusting OUR BIG GOD!
Praise HIM Always!

It's amazing how God moves when we take that step of faith. FEAR is our enemy and I know how it can paralyze us and keep us from doing what God called us to do. I struggle with that often. Yet, the Lord always helps me overcome it. But, because of your obedience to trust in Him, He has begun such an awesome work here at Faith Sisters and He will complete the work which He begun. Sister, you are not alone especially now that Faith Sisters is growing. WE all share the same experiences one way or another and because we can come to a place and share our lessons, we in return will be strengthened.
