One of the things I have learned on this journey with Jesus is that often new doors of opportunity pop open when I feel the least prepared or deserving to walk through them. But that is also what I’m coming to love most about the Savior. He doesn’t ask us to rely upon ourselves instead He offers us His grace, His strength.
When I launched The Watered Soul almost four years ago to chronicle my journey with Jesus I had no idea where all this blogging path would take me. Excitedly I announce it’s leading me down a new path as I become one of the contributing writers for Women Walking With Jesus. I’m so honored to be a part of this new ministry endeavor lead by Lisa Shaw of Lisa Shaw Cares. Lisa has brought together a blend of women from various age groups, cultures, life stages, and backgrounds to share their personal stories, words of encouragement, and hearts for Jesus. Hope you will you join us each month for Women Walking With Jesus. Please stop by Lisa’s to see all the other lovely women, who will be writing for Women Walking with Jesus and to learn more about the ministry.
Have you had unexpected opportunities open up for you recently?
I can’t say anything has opened up, but there has been good feedback on my books, and I keep having this weird feeling that something major is going to happen. I also realized that I can do anything I want, and I don’t really have much to complain about. I feel as though I’m being prepped for something, but I have no clue what it could be. (There’s something I would LIKE, but I can only hope that’s in there–God already knows what it is, haha.)
Whatever it is, I’m starting to feel as though it’s not here, where I am at this moment. So I guess I need to prepare for that.
Congrats on Elizabeth on things going well with your book. I think we are always in states preparation even when are least aware of it. Stay in a place of hope and expectation.
Wonderful, Wanda! Even more people will have the opportunity to read the great truths God lays on your heart! 🙂
Thanks Pam. I pray that others will be drawn to Jesus through the ministry.
Very exciting, Wanda. ~~happy dance~~
I will be sure to check them out.
Blessings to you.
Thanks Beth.
I’m looking forward to getting to know you better through the Women Walking with Jesus ministry!
God bless you!

And Wanda, we are so glad to have you with us. I thank God for showing me your heart to invite you to share your walk with Jesus with others through Women Walking with Jesus.
I continue to read your blog posts via my Inbox when I can, and each time I’m blessed.
Love and blessings!
I am certainly honored that you would ask me Lisa. I remember years ago when I stumbled upon your blog and was so surprised that you would actually take the time to stop by mine. Love your sweet spirit sister.
Congrats, Wanda!! This is very exciting! Can’t wait to hear all about this new venture!
For me, sometimes I find that God leads me to a *waiting time* – and that is the hardest thing sometimes. But we do well to recognize that these times are also opportunities to go where He leads. Sometimes it’s all about an inner journey.
GOD BLESS!
I think easily forget those season of pause are purposeful as well Sharon. At least I’ll say I do.
Congrats, Wanda! I will be checking out Women Walking With Jesus.
Thanks Alison. I’m sure you will be blessed. Lisa has gathered a wonderful group of ladies.
Hi Wanda! What a great step for you my friend. This will give you an even bigger platform to praise the Lord and influence so many Christians. No wonder you have been blogging less lately…it all makes sense now!
Will you keep up this blogsite too?
You have worked hard, and have lifted up others on your way to this new venture. God sees what you do. He’s ready to lift you up too!
Blessings always,
Ceil
Hi Ceil, yes I will still be here as this my blogging home. Lisa’s invitation to be apart of Women Walking with Jesus came at a rather odd time for me personally. One in which I find myself writing/blogging less yet I still felt lead to say yes. So that’s where the trust part comes in at for me. I’m trusting that Jesus will give me the words to say.
That’s awesome! Congrats! Even though I’m not a women, I am in need of the same grace and redemption that leads to our Father’s truth. I’ll be looking forward to reading what He’s laid on your heart, sister. May He bless your writing.
Thanks Floyd. The Father’s truth is what we all need. I appreciate your encouraging words brother.
So glad you are becoming part of this special ministry, Wanda. Congratulations and blessings to you!
Thanks Connie!
I am so looking forward to getting to know you. I was also blessed to be joining this group of amazing women who love and walk with Jesus. I know we can learn much from one another and provide encouragement along the way.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Debbie, after reading Lisa’s intro post and seeing the roster of amazing ladies, I thought oh my what have I said yes to lol. It should be interesting journey for sure. I look forward to getting to know you more as well.
What an exciting opportunity! It is interesting how He calls us to do things we don’t quite feel ready for. It shows me, once again, how He longs for us to be dependent on Him. Blessings to you, Wanda…
It sure does require us to stay connected to him for sure.
I’m excited for your new writing endeavor Wanda!
Comes at an odd time for me especially when I feel as if grappling with my writing these days. But I’m trusting God to lead me.
