Stole Text

I can't imagine my life without praise and worship it is my "connection."

I am a gay Christian woman who's life is so blessed and I must celebrate!  When I was a little girl, I dream and prayed for God to bring a woman into my life I could marry, and a child.  I am blessed with a life partner of 11 years, Cindy, and a 6 year old son Dillon.  God hears our prayers!

I am honored to serve God in the ministry the Anointing, and though I have not personally struggled with the many trials of so many represented in these stoles, I do grieve for "our struggle" and marvel at "our triumph" by God's love and grace.

May I join you my brothers and sisters in joy, praising the One who fearfully and wonderfully made each of us and who is so worthy of our praise.  Love In Christ,
Lisa
