you are worthy…
you are known…
and you are loved just the way you are…
welcome, so glad you’re here…
Sometimes the statements above seem hard to believe, don’t they? Yet, we have the Truth of God’s Word to remind us that we are awesome!One of my favorite scripture passages is Psalm 139:13-14:
“For you (God) created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (NIV)
YES!!! That means you! That means me! That means all of us! We are God’s wonderful creation. Known. Molded. Formed. Knit together. Touched by the hands of God. God does not make mistakes. We are all created on purpose and crafted for purpose. Regardless of our bad decisions or messy lives, we are precious gifts from God. Join our Circle and join me as we explore what it means to be a child of God…a follower of Christ…and a redeemed soul. Let’s share together our stories and our gifts to build each other up and celebrate our value in Jesus. Welcome to the Circle!
A Community:
Circle of Friends
We are meant to live in community. . . to support, to encourage, to act as one body. “For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” Romans 12:4-5 (NIV)
Our lives impact so many other lives…like ripples in the water…spreading out into the world. Sometimes we have no idea who we are impacting by a single act or kind word. My hope for this site…this Circle of Friends…is that we begin to know each other more deeply through the Gallery and the Posts. I want this to be a safe place for you, so…how do we do that? (See list below! AND other freebies under Join Our Circle.)
- Share our life-giving experiences
- Share our testimonies
- Be humble and vulnerable
- Pray for each other
- Praise our Lord & Savior
- Use encouraging words
- Affirm each other’s feelings
- No judgement or shaming
- Submit our inspirations, stories, and pictures to the Gallery
Kind words are like honey – sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
Proverbs 16:24 (NLT)

Stacy Turley
Hi, sweet Circle of Friends! My name is Stacy, and I am so glad you are here with me. To be real, I am an imperfect person who makes mistakes and poor decisions…likely every day! But at the same time, I am a redeemed daughter of the Most High God. I am a follower of Jesus Christ who saved my life. I am a life-long learner of God’s Word and warrior for His Kingdom.
My passions are empowering women, building relationships, and celebrating the value, worth, and gifts we all have received through the love of Christ. You are wonderful! And I am honored you are here!

In The Word #12: “I CONQUERED GROS PITON!”
My new t-shirt reads, "I CONQUERED GROS PITON!" That's right! My hubby and I completed this hike on Saturday, February 4th, 2023. It was likely the most difficult hike I have ever completed. The journey up the mountain was filled with boulders, uneven terrain, and...
