Testimony - The small victories, the Lord brought us through.
I want to start opening up a space in this community for testimonies. I’ll be honest with you ladies though. I’m not ready to share my full testimony yet. It’s something I’m still praying through and processing. I believe one day it will probably come out as one full video or written story when the Lord and I finish working through it together. And I want to honor that process. But even though I’m not ready to share everything yet, I do want to start sharing pieces of the journey as the Lord finishes those chapters in my heart. Little stories. Small breakthroughs. Moments where God showed up. Because sometimes we spend so much time talking about the wilderness that we forget to pause and recognize the places where the Lord already carried us through. So this space is for that. Not for processing wounds in the middle of them. We can do that in prayer, counseling, journaling, and with the Lord. But here I want us to share the hidden gems. The moments where we can look back and say: “God really did bring me through that.” The small finished works. The quiet victories. The things only the Lord could have done. As I process things in my own life, I’ll start sharing some of those stories too. And if you feel ready, I invite you to do the same. Not pressure. Not performance. Just honesty, when the Lord has completed something in you and you can look back and give Him the glory for it. Because our testimonies are not about us. They’re about what the Lord has done. And those stories might be exactly what another woman here needs to hear. 🤍

Testimonies are powerful. So many are inspired by the journey you share because we can see ourselves in it. Can't wait hear more when you're ready. My church recorded my testimony, there is more but for time sake it's condensed 😅 there is much more in my book Ripples of Healing and Hope https://open.spotify.com/show/3fFb3kCzvNUue1HzfXwjWM?si=Q0yR_Z4zTECljB35UB49EQ https://youtu.be/h-vqhE9BhyE?si=fanMnrM7z8hOr_dM
Where is everyone from?
hey sisters 🤍 i wanna do something a little different today… where is everyone from? drop your city and state (or country if you’re outside the US) in the comments 👇🏽 i’ve been praying about future meet ups… like real life hugs, coffee, Bible studies, sitting together in His presence, not just through a screen but in the same room 🕊️ i know this community is online, but it doesn’t have to stay that way forever. there’s something so special about gathering, about being seen, about doing life with other women who love Jesus. so this is me starting to map it out… seeing where we’re all scattered, where the Lord might be gathering us 👀 even if it’s just a few of you in the same area… that could turn into something beautiful. don’t overthink it, just drop where you’re from 🤍 you never know who’s near you 🫶🏽

🌿 Introduce Yourself + Bless This Space 🌿
I wanted our very first community thread to be intentional… not just informational. So think of this as both an introduction and a blessing over the space we’re building together 🤍 Before anything else, I just want to pray: God, we welcome You here. In every post, every comment, every confession, every testimony. Let this be a space where women feel safe to be honest about where they truly are… not where they feel they should be. Cover this community with wisdom, gentleness, accountability, and growth. Let sisterhood form here in ways that heal, not harm. And let everything built here be rooted in You. Amen 🕊️ Now it’s your turn. I want you to introduce yourself… but from an honest place, not a polished one. Wisdom requires honesty about where we’re actually at spiritually. So wherever you are on your journey, you are safe to say it here. Maybe you’re in: • A preparation season • A wilderness season • Healing from trauma • Detoxing from a relationship • Battling lust or old habits • Rebuilding your faith • Learning obedience • Or simply feeling tired and needing God to meet you again No matter where you are… you are safe to be seen here. This is a space where we don’t hide our process. We learn how to sit in the fire with one another… not to watch each other burn, but to witness each other be refined by God. So if you feel safe to be vulnerable, share: ✨ Your name (or username) ✨ Where you’re from ✨ One word that describes your current season ✨ What you’re hoping to receive or grow in here I’ll go first in the comments so you’re not doing it alone 🤍 Welcome to the space. I’m really grateful you’re here.

Hi everyone, I’m so grateful to be here. Thank you, Jasleen, for creating such a sacred and welcoming space. 🤍 ✨ Name: Melinda ✨ Where I’m from: New Jersey ✨ One word that describes my current season: Refinement ✨ What I’m hoping to receive or grow in here: Deeper obedience, courage, and continued healing as I learn to share my faith more boldly and authentically. I’m a wife, and mama of three. My journey with Jesus has been shaped through seasons of deep grief, healing, and surrender especially after the loss of my mother. Through that process, God led me to write my book, Ripples of Healing and Hope, and to pursue my 200-hour yoga certification as an extension of the healing He has done in my life. I would also say I tend to be my own hardest critic, and in this season God is gently teaching me not to hide my light under a basket anymore, but to walk in the fullness of who He created me to be with more freedom and grace. I feel closest to God in the quiet places whether that’s tending to my garden, spending time in nature, journaling, or worshiping through movement and music. These spaces have helped me experience His presence in profound and personal ways. Right now, I sense that God is refining me. He's teaching me obedience, courage, and trust as I step more fully into the calling He has placed on my life. I’m hoping to grow in wisdom, accountability, and authentic sisterhood, while also supporting and encouraging others in their journeys. Thank you all for creating a space where we can be seen and known. I’m truly honored to walk alongside each of you. 🤍
