When God told me to start Lens of Faith, I laughed at the idea while telling him, “Who’s going to read another blog?” He sternly responded with, “DO IT. I’m going to speak through you. This will be the beginning of your ministry.”
Nervously, I stepped out in faith and obedience and I have never regretted it. There is nothing like walking in your purpose and I’m just getting started!
God has also told me, “Not everyone will like what you have to say BUT I will be well pleased.”
You see, the mandate on my life is to encourage and teach believers to read their bible, surrender, repent and chase after holiness. This is often not a popular “feel good” message. But I’m not here to be popular. I’m here to be PURPOSEFUL.
BIGGER THAN ME
My faith journey is so much bigger than this. Those that have crossed paths with me these past 10 years, know my story and the promises I am believing God for. Soon I will share my story publicly but for now my ministry has been the fruit of obedience, faithfulness and endurance.
Often when God calls you to more than you could ever of imagined or thought possible, there is a refining that needs to take place to develop godly character and full dependency on him alone. This molding usually takes time and develops in a hidden place of isolation.
Everything I share comes from a knowing of who God is because I have personally spent years in a purifying season with a heart posture of complete surrender.
I want to display God’s wonders and be an example of his goodness for all to see.
I’m not here to be popular. I’m here to be PURPOSEFUL.”
Thank you to all of you that have supported me throughout the years. I am encouraged by so many that have told me how much I have helped them grow in Christ. God is preparing his church for greater days ahead. Let’s goooo!

It is these strong messages that uplift even the seasoned in faith. It is us who more often need reminding of His grace and deep correction from the deceitfulness of sin. Keep it up Leah!

Amen. This is now my 40th year in him. My spirit bears Witness with yours. He found me in a dark call on my last trip to prison. Never been back, so blessed, so changed. Blessed are the pure in heart, has so much meaning. I thought it was for the future when I get to heaven, nope I see god in my past, present and future. I see and hear him in others. Your one of them. What a joy to be touched by him thru you. Go my sister. Wow such love. His light shall be seen brighter, as world gets darker, fathers kids shall shine like stars.
