Hi, I’m Shirley Yandell.
I’m 40 years old.
I’m a Wife, a Mother, a Teacher,
A follower & servant of Jesus Christ
And a child of the Most High God.
I was born into a family of ministers & I was raised & served in the Church
from earliest childhood. I learned the Word & saw “The Life” lived &
examples I could follow.
But in college, every year took me farther and farther from my relationship with Him until—by the time I’d graduated with my first Masters degree, I was what you could call a very secular Christian.
When I relocated to start my career, He led me to a church where people loved me for who I was and where I was, and they encouraged me to take one more step, no matter how small, toward Him. In time, I found restoration, & renewal, in my relationship with Christ.
Today, I do my best to do what others did for me—by encouraging those who are right where I used to be—spiritually bankrupt, struggling to believe, finding it difficult to take that first step. Forward. Toward Him.
My Life Verse is John 3:17: For God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved.
