The Masks Must Go

Posted by Stanice Anderson on 02/10/2010 in faith with No Comments

The masks must go. First, we have to get in touch with our truth which lies closer to the the surface than you may think, beneath the mask. For me, it started with asking God and meaning it, “Show me, Lord.” A lot of times it was another person, even sometime unbeknownst to them that they were being used by God–that God used to put that truth so in my face that all I can humbly mutter to myself, “God, you must be in this somewhere, answering my prayer.” Somewhere between the Dear God and the Amen, the Holy Spirit kicked into His Helper stance and empowered me to do the big girl stuff, which was to allow the wound to be totally uncovered acting on my belief that since -Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted–who at any given moment is me–then all will be well.

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.
