We can all learn wonderful and marvelous things from her powerful teachings within the pages of this manuscript.” Barbara Joe Williams, Independent Publisher & Author, A Writer’s Guide to Publishing & Marketing

What people are saying:
“Stanice writes for everybody, with a wisdom about the central truths in everybody’s life — to belong in the world, to be loved.” Patrice Gaines, Author & former Washington Post Reporter
“Stanice is a powerful speaker, an inspirational woman, and a good friend. She believes in her purpose in life and is driven to succeed while helping others at the same time. I highly recommend her in any aspect.” ZANE, Owner of Strebor Books
“Stanice Anderson is a master motivator, encourager, and one of the most engaging speakers I have heard in any forum. We were captivated. It was an INCREDIBLE experience. We laughed a lot, but were also reduced to tears at points. She makes powerful parallels and connections to emotional and spiritual battles that all of us experience. We were led to tear off masks, dare to be real and transparent after spending time with Ms. Anderson.” Bernice Mayfield, Heritage Church
‘‘What Stanice has done is reconfigure her life, her triumphs and sorrow, through art in a way that takes us to unspeakable uplift.” Karen Evans, Founder & President, Black Women Playwrights’ Group
I believe the impossible is highly probable and that the possible is just too easy for God anyway. Stanice Anderson, WALKING ON WATER WHEN THE GROUND AIN’T ENUF

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone,
To have a deep soul relationship with another,
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively.
But God, to a Christian, says,
“No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content
With being loved by Me alone,
With giving yourself totally and reservedly to Me,
With having an intensely personal and unique relationship
With Me alone.
Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found,
Will you be capable of the perfect human relationship
That I have planned for you.
You will never be united with another until you are united
With Me alone,
Exclusive of anyone or anything else,
Exclusive of any other desires or longings.
I want you to stop planning,
Stop wishing,
And allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing,
One that you cannot imagine.
Please allow Me to bring it to you.
You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things.
Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I Am.
Keep listening and learning the things I tell you.
You just wait.
That’s all.
Don’t be anxious.
Don’t worry.
Don’t look at the things you think you want;
You just keep looking off and away up to Me,
Or you’ll miss what I want to show you.
And then when you are ready,
I’ll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any
You could dream of.
You see, until you are ready and until
The one I have for you is ready
(I am working even at this moment to have you both ready at the same time), Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me
And the life I prepared for you,
You won’t be able to experience the love that
Exemplified your relationship with Me.
And this is the perfect love.
And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love,
I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your
Relationship with Me,
And to enjoy materially and concretely
The everlasting union of beauty, perfection and love
That I offer you with Myself.
Know that I love you utterly.
I Am God.
Believe it and be satisfied.

Jaws Theme Song.
Some days my life feels like a Jaws movie. Just when i think it’s safe to go back in the water. (sound effects) du dum, du dum, du dum. SCREAM
Two days been waiting for a auto part that was sent to the wrong address. Told UPS don’t worry about rerouting to my address for delivery on Monday (are you kidding me) when I paid for and needed the part on 2 days ago. Send straight back to sender; who made the mistake anyway. I’ll get a refund and take the headache as a hit. I ordered same part, locally this time, and friend took me to pick it up. Mechanic will start working on my car in the morning–no problem. Moving on.
Woke up this a.m. to the tinkering sound of DC Parking Enforcement booting my car. Say what?
I hollered daintily from bedroom window, “what cha doing to my car?” In unison they replied, “Bootin’ yo car for non payment of tickets.”
I didn’t even know I had tix. Plus, it’s Saturday, I can’t get the boot off till Monday? (sound effects) du dum, du dum, du dum. SCREAM. I’m gonna need a bigger boat AND mo’ money!!!!!
I won’t be fooled though. This is a spiritual battle for my peace and sanity. Still I refuse to let it steal my joy. We gonna do what we can and leave the rest alone in God’s hands. We may be pressed; but we are not crussed. Greater is He that is in me that he that is in the world. One can’t fight a spiritual battle with earthly weapons.
In this battle, my part is to don the whole gear of God. The breastplate of righteousness–CHECK, the shield of faith–CHECK, shoes with the readiness to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ–CHECK, the helmet of salvation a/k/a being made right with God–CHECK, the belt of Truth tied tightly around my waist–tight 4 real–CHECK, and the magnificent Sword of the Spirit, a/k/a the WORD of God–CHECK.*
Onward!!! Pray continually and be alert. Victory is assured. Jaws ALWAYS dies at the end!
*loose paraphrase of Ephesians 6:13-17.
Who I Am
I'm an author, inspirational speaker, vocalist, and performance artist. I was a heroin addict saved from myself and the lifestyle (with all the pain that comes with it) but the mercy and grace of God. Thus, I am a late bloomer; but blooming none-the-less. I've yielded every talent given me, and am now using them to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to discover and lives God's marvelous plans for their lives. My books include my latest, Walking On Water When The Ground Ain't Enuf; I Say A Prayer For Me: One Woman's Life of Faith and Triumph (Warner); 12-Step Programs: A Resource Guide For Helping Professionals; and Contributing Author of SistahFaith: Real Stories of Pain, Truth and Triumph compiled by Marilynn Griffith (Howard/Simon&Schuster). I also perform a one-woman show with comedy infused throughout. It's who I am--by God's grace--one woman on a journey toward unwavering faith.
