Spirituality
Spirituality is a big part of who I am today. As I mentioned on our welcome page, my life was empty although it appeared I had it all. That is until I took a trip to the Holy Land with my Bishop and First Lady. The trip was timely and life changing! I realized that the life I lived is not what Jesus paid the price for.
Now don’t get me wrong, I grew up in the church. I was baptized with my husband in 2003 and again in the Jordan River in Israel. I was no stranger to Christ. I knew that when things went wrong, He was the person to call on. However, I did not have an intimate relationship with Him. I would seek His hands and not His face. As you know, God is intimate. He is a master lover. Nothing is conceived with God without intimacy.

Believe for big and God will give you the supernatural.
When I returned from my trip, all of that changed. I was on fire! I went to Bible study and church every week and, when I wasn’t in town, I would catch the sermon on the Internet via streamingfaith.com. I listened very closely to the message the man of God was delivering. It was always relevant to me at the time. I studied the Word everyday. It was suggested to me to read one of the modern translations (New International Version) for an easier read. My prayer life was enriched and I intentionally made a decision to try to surrender to God’s will daily. My entire outlook on life changed.
I realized that my life is not about me, but about me advancing the kingdom. What I had planned fit the world and what God has planned for me, fits the kingdom. I recognize my authority and accept my humility. Grace is greater than all sin. When he exposed my “stuff”, he covered me in grace.
I am more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. There is stuff that I cannot see that I am getting ready for. The prophets are speaking it into the atmosphere. I am just a vessel, and I try to be a walking manifestation of the invisible God. I truly believe God has given me a national platform as a stepping stone to have influence in the lives of nations.
Please understand. I am not claiming to be holier than thou, nor am I claiming to know it all. In fact, all of my newfound knowledge and understanding was taught to me by my spiritual father, Bishop Eddie L. Long (Senior Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church). I am just taking what I learned, applying it to my life, and sharing it with you. My prayer is that you can become just as excited as I am to experience the unconditional love of God.
Never lose sight of the fact that God is in control of your life. You must believe that God can deliver you. You need to put fear and doubt out of the way and believe in God. Faith works whenever there is faithfulness and obedience. Walking in obedience is difficult but necessary. Faith always requires some action and is understood to be boundless and timeless. Get rid of the fear and doubt by receiving the love of Jesus Christ.
Giving Back
Luke 12:48 (NKJ) says “For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.”
I’ve always known it was important to give back. I was the beneficiary of kindness when I was younger, and once I had the opportunity to impact the lives of others, it was a no-brainer. My husband and I are both very active in the community. We even get the boys involved. Each of us has our own non-profit organizations. Eric’s is Shoot 4 the Moon and mine is the DeShawn Snow Foundation. We understand fully that we are blessed to be a blessing. We strive to be rich in a way that is pleasing to God and we hope to bless generations. This is another reason I know that if we continue to be obedient, He will continue to bless us — He knows our hearts.
The great thing about giving back is that I ultimately end up helping myself more than I do the people I am providing the service to. It is almost as though I am healing my soul – especially with the young girls I help with my foundation. If you ever find yourself feeling emotionally low, I challenge each of you to volunteer at your local hospital, shelter, nursing home, etc. This is a great way of getting outside of your own pain for a while, and it encourages someone else at the same time.
Another way to give back is through your tithes and offering. Everything we own belongs to God. We are stewards of all that God entrusts us with. His trust includes money, our gifts and abilities, our minds and intellect, our bodies, and how we use our time.
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. (1 Chronicles 29:11-12 NKJV)
We honor God with our tenth and maintain our covenant by obediently giving to God by faith. We are saying, “I trust in You; I believe in You; You are the Most High God, the possessor of heaven and earth.”
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this” says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 3:10a)
Tithe is ten percent of all your income (i.e. if your gross salary is $500 per week, your tithe would be $50 per week). This is “tithing from the top”, which is the “gross income—not net.” God expects us to be cheerful givers (2 Corinthians 9:6-15; Philippians 4:19). He wants us to give out of our relationship with Him. He has a special joy when we trust Him to supply our need.
It’s all about the Law of the Harvest. What you give out is what you will receive in return. You need to sow what you want to reap the most; place a demand on your seed (better health, increase in bank account, promotion on job). If you don’t like where you are, sow where you want to go. Don’t ever sow what you don’t want. Your seed must take root and develop a root system. Get rid of the roots of bitterness so that they do not come up and choke you. Also, sow privately and you will get rewarded openly.
There is a seed time and there is a harvest time. Galatians 6:7-9 (NKJ) says” Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. (Luke 6:38)
Offering is an amount above the tithe that you give. Typically there are three: regular seed offerings, covenant partners, and love offerings.
- Seed offerings are used to take care of the needs of the church.
- Covenant offerings are totally dedicated for eliminating the debt. (Exodus 35:21)
- The love offering is an offering we give to the man of God (Senior Pastor) that is above our tithe and regular offering.
This offering is also a seed that is planted in the pastor’s life so that he will be able to take care of and provide for his personal needs and those of the family. It is one aspect of giving honor when honor is due. (Romans 13:7; 1 Timothy 5:17; 1 Corinthians 9:9-14) Some pastors receive this in lieu of a salary.
First fruit is an offering that goes to the Priest (Senior Pastor). We give a first fruit when we receive an increase or the first fruit of the promise of God. First fruit giving causes a blessing to rest on your business affairs. (Proverbs 3:9; Ezekiel 44:30)

Wow!!!!!! I am so glad God lead me to this site. I'm so glad to be apart of you all!!!!!  I have been so blessed even though my life has been one of a strugle. The baby of eight and the 6th girl in the family left me growing up a year or two behind in the fashion world due to hand me downs from my five sisters. I never complained and to make a long story short my mom bought me a sewing machine when I knew nothing about sewing at the age of 16. I messed up lots of polyester fabric before I began to sew by just looking at pictures, and the rest is history. I have always used my gift to make something out of nothing to bless others Women and children that have not experienced designer anything Churches that needed usher uniforms or choir robes but couldn't pay Single moms that needed wonderful drapes to make the shack house look good Because of my love to give back what ever I can, people think I got it going on! But I tell women. Just because I can take $50 worth of fabric and sew it up to look like a $1000 suit doesn't mean that I have it all. Sometimes I can only afford $2 a yard fabric The value of my life has been God. All that I have been gifted to do with my hands and think of with my mind, comes from God!!!!! I still struggle, but I go through with JOY!!!! And will always share what I have and what I can accomplish with others in any way I can. Be encouraged all and never never hold on to what God has given you. Gifts, Talents, and Abilities come with a price. But if God gave them, the price will always be barable and in the end rewarding. Blessings to you!!! Ms. Dee |

Prayer, I have a wonderfiul way of speaking to my Father in Heaven that others call and ask me to take them to the throne, that child like Faith they have in God moves me. The praise reports give me joy, all Glory to God..People have prayed for me and I know that prayer moves the hand of God, thats why even at 2 in the morning I answer my phone, we all need Gods hand moving in our lives and the lives of others...I actually paused from writing this to pray with a dear sister in CHRIST...HOW AWESOME IS HE, MY LORD, MY SAVIOUR, MY LIFE... |

Some have told me that I am very naive because I GIVE too much. It is abvious that they don't understand the law of reciprocity between me and El-Berith (God of the Covenant).
I give because the law says that it when I do give, it will come back to me, by men, into my bosom in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. When individuals, and/or organizations, contact me for help, I pray and evaluate their need and their vision. I determine my fees based upon the guidance of the Spirit of God, and sometimes I do the work at no charge as so instructed.
Although I am divorced and raising my lads in a single parent home, God provides for us; and in my community my home is the neighborhood house - - ALL the children get afterschool snacks, ALL the children get lunch during the summer, and ALL the children get chastised when they act like fools.
In January 2008, I employed myself full-time. That coupled with being a full-time mom has been one of the most rewarding steps of faith in my life. I trusted Christ that when I married Him, He will be who He is, YAH Ishi; and do what he does, which is provide all I and my children need. My position is to be a faithful bride of El-Berith and His Word, to serve the less fortunate, and to give into fertile ground expecting a harvest.
Embracing the spirit of giving, i.e. having a philanthropic nature, is exceedingly rewarding.
Shalom,
Angela |

They way I give back; I donate clothes to the women shelters here In Houston, TX. I brought 2 garbage bags of clothes on yesterday, and after leaving I decided I want to now volunteer there. I will be calling them on Monday to ask how I do so. I was a battered woman for 12 years, and I love talking to young women about this life. I met my 3 oldest sons dad when I was 16 yrs old, he was 24 and it was good at first until the first time he hit me. I thought it would stop when he apologized with a gift but it got worse. I was so depressed I thought I could never get away. Ladies have to develop the strength to get out and I did. I have a story to tell. There is a lot more but can't fit it all in. Now I take no mess from no man. I'm waiting on God to send me my husband. I know he will send a good loving man that will take care of me and my children one day. |

Hi Deshawn
I wanted to say thank you for allowing God to use you in this way. To see a beautiful women doing what God has commisioned you to do;whether young or old is awesome. I woud like to be apart of your non-profit organization anyway I can. I am also an entreprenuer by spirit and would like to be known by not what I say;but what I do. THe bible says...A good name is better than gold and I am working on making a good name for myself and my family. Also, I understand you are attending school at Regent University online. That is a wonderful place and the campus is beautiful and peaceful. That was a great choice for you to chose to study divinity.
Deshawn, I could really use your assistance and I truley believe we can both prosper by knowing one another. Just to give you alittle history about myself I am a blessed single mom with three beautiful children, ages 16.15, and 9. I hold a BS in Finance and Marketing from NSU and love people, places and things. My career paths have journeyed from retail to education. My current goal is to complete my Masters in Community Counseling, and eventually open a transistion home for women and children. I have always wanted to do and be more, but have allowed my situations to decapitate me and loose hope. Fear has always had it's place in my life..but God and always been my foundation and source to all my circumstances.
I will end this by saying if I never here from you atleast I can say I had a chance to email a real person, with real goals, to help real people and express myself. That to me is great and worth the chance. Take care and Gob Bless you and your entire family. |

As the youngest daughter of parents whom have spent the better part of my life involved in the ministry, I have always been aware of the Lord, and at the age of 10 made the personal decision to walk with Him daily. Many years ago the Lord truly laid Luke 12:48 upon my heart, "whom much is given, much is required". Growing up in the church and in a home where Spiritually intimate conversation was a daily routine, I had become guilty of "taking it for granted". My mother had gotten a word from the Lord when my sisters and I were young girls that her ministry in life while we were growing up was to mold us into Women of God. And what a great job of leading by example she has done of that for our lives. But in her doing that, it required something of me. It required me taking what she (my Mother) and the Lord had put into me and giving it out. I believe that is one of the things that has lacked in the churches today is the lack of women of wisdom helping to mature and grow the younger women of the faith. So when the Lord laid that scripture in Luke on my heart, I began praying that He would show me the opportunities I miss to impact those who I come in contact with on a daily basis. Being in the Corporate world every day I didn't want to go in "preaching" to everyone, but I did notice that people began appearing at my desk wanting to talk and to get my opinion on issues in their lives. Through many years spent in the Corporate world, the Lord has shown me that He uses me there to be a light in the midst of the darkness. My mission field if my 8-5 every day when I walk in the door of the office. My prayer at this point is, "Lord let me see all of the opportunities You would have me to see, and let me speak only the words You would have me to say today". Thank you so much for allowing me to share in this site with each of you. God Bless~ |

I am a 38 year old married woman with 3 children. Seven years ago, I made a decision to care for my mother who suffered a brain aneurysm in 1997. Although it was a life changing experience, I would not change it for the world. After all you only get 1 mother. It used to bother me that I did not get much help from other family members, but God makes ways out of no ways, and I am thankful to those that were there when I needed someone to sit with her or helped me to get her in the house and up the stairs to bed. I hear all the time "you will be blessed". But the truth of the matter is that I am not looking for a blessing because I am taking care of my mother. I feel like I am blessed enough to be able to. I feel blessed enough to still have a job after having to miss time to take care of my mother. I feel blessed to have children and a husband to help me out with the little things. I am so thankful for the strength to be able to do my best while working and going to school to become a nurse. Trying to study for an exam while being in the emergency room all night and throughout the early morning before and exam is no joke, but God saw me through it. Trying to be everybody's rock on top of everything else can sometimes be a bit overwhelming but I kno that even though my mother can't walk or talk, I know that out of all of her children she looks at me prouldly, and eyes say "Job well done". I would encourage anyone who has a parent who is unable to care for themselves to step up and care for them and not focus on what your other siblings are or are not doing. Instead of partying with the girls throughout my 30's I was taking care of mom and I have not regrets. |

A few weeks before my 31st birthday I found myself in a real funk, I was a feeling down because I was not where I thought I should be at 31, I was still single, no kids, no prospects; nothing. I was in bed for days crying not eating, thinking if I were to drop off the face of the earth no one would miss me. Then God spoke to me; he spoke through an Oprah show, the show was about three women that "appeared" to have it all, the fancy cars, homes, furs and jewels and on the inside these women were damaged, broken, I could relate. Then I realized if I (this attractive, educated, charming, resilient, impressive women) was feeling this lonely, and broken and noone knew, how many other amazing women were feeling the same way? So I jumped into action; I started my organization Sister Girlfriends. Sister Girlfriends is a network of amazing women, dedicated to nurturing, empowering, and supporting each other. Sister Girlfriends first love is community service, for instance for Christmas we collect clothing and toys and distribute them to local battered women and children shelters, we also go to local senior centers and give presents to residents without families. For valentines day we helped with the shoebox project (gathering personal care products in shoe boxes for the homeless). To much sure we take of each other we send each other flowers for birthdays, if a member is going through a divorce or break up we rally around to give her the support and love she needs, we have slumber parties (yes slumber parties) it's just a good time time to get everyone together and recharge, take care of ourselves and each other; because relationships are like accidents; they don't just happen-they are caused. Sister Girlfriends saved and changed my life, when I stopped focusing on all the things I didn't have and started helping the homeless, the senior citizens, when I joined big brother big sisters and started looking beyond myself, then I realized how extremely blessed and loved I am.

Giving back is what I want to do. Every since I gave my life to the Lord I feel so Blessed. Some people see blessed just getting money or car new home but not I I see blessed just to have the Lord in my life and working in my life, in areas where I thought all has failed. So I feel that I am extremely blessed. Without him I could do nothing.So giving back is really on my heart and thats why I see you as such an inspiration to me. I so much want to help my young teens here in this town just to see them daily get lost in this cruel world is so upseting to me that is why I am crying out for help. If I could just save on teen girl from self destruction I would feel so much better please help. That what I call giving back [/b |

Hello DeShawn and Family,
For me, I am always amazed at how God can use a talent and turn it for his glory....my talent is dance. I wish I could say that dance has been an easy, graceful road but it has not. One thing that I realized recently was that everything that has happened in my life has led up to this moment, Dancer for Life LLC. As a young woman, I lost my dad at the age of 14, then came the abusive relationships, the compromise of myself just so I could say that someone "loved" me. As I got older I found myself wearing this mask...the one that said everything was okay, that I had no issues and as time passed, the mask got heavier and heavier.
As God says in His word, he can take what the devil meant for evil and make it good...that's what God has done for me. He has taken everything I have done in my life and used it as transparent ministry through dance. When people want to dance but can't afford it, I let them dance anyway because I want people to experience the same freedom I have. I want people to know that they can take something like dance and not only find a skill, they can find change, solutions, life. When people want our company to come minister, we don't attach a price tag because we know that above all, God is able to reward us in ways that no man will ever be able to. For more info, please visit, www.dancer4life.com or call 336-621-3317. God Bless! |

I am "giving back" daily by allowing the Lord to use me and my life experiences as his vessel to touch the lives of women here in Boston Massachusetts. I remember days at 15 years old wondering why my mother doesn't care and if my father remembers me. I remember being molested as toddler and most recently raped as an adult. Asking the Lord why me? What did I do.
Even up to March of 2007 through to December 2007 (when I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl) asking God why am I pregnant why with this man, my church made me feel unwelcome because I had just been baptized Feb 2007, so "how could she be pregnant, she's not serious about GOD" those were somethings I heard. I searched through the bible looking to see if the devil could give life, because in my mind I wanted to know how could I be pregnant and the church is dismissing me.. Then I stumbled across the scripture that says that "children are a gift from God" and from that day although rough I knew that I had to TRUST the Lord, because he had something to do with my life.
Once my daughter was born July of 2008 I founded The KStarr Foundation, and I have to say that it was then that I knew why I had gone through all I did at such an early stage in my life up to my 30's .. now I am 32
and my testimonies although some harder to share than others. I can relate to many of the women and teens struggles that I come across now that there is a KStarr Foundation.
Women and girls (teens) being beaten an abused by the father of their child(ren)
On welfare trying to make ends meet and settling for what society has told them they are worth
Trusting men and then being Raped
Being with a drug dealing man thinking that is cool and what a girl is suppose to do
Being homeless with children depending and trusting in you and loving you endlessly regardless of sleeping at a bus stop, floor of a friends apartment or a 5 star hotel..
I have been there and done it and I know what these women and teens go through so I give back daily and constantly by making The KStarr Foundation an organization that they can come to and expect to be transformed with a REAL - REALITY approach!
So I intend to give back every day of my life that the GOOD LORD BLESSES ME WITH!!
and that is why I ADMIRE YOU DeShawn Snow, because you get it! |

I give back in several ways through my church and my sorority and as the Lord leads me. Recently the Lord gave me my personal ministry - AfriCAN! A ministry for African woman and children which will help them meet their basic needs (in a nutshell). I was drawn to your site by my daily reading of SF Devotional. I feel lead to have a benefit concert to raise funds and I have huge ideas in my head but have not moved forward because they seem far fetched. Your words - Listen for His Voice. Act upon His leading. Don't let obstacles stop you" were so inspiring. I am going to send out letters to my "wishlist" this week. I just needed the reminder and the Lord spoke through you.

Well, my name is Theresa Kilroy. I was abused by a stepfather when I was 8-13. I was in a very bad abusive marraige, fought and won a drug addiction. Met the love of my life who is having to work in California while I am here in Ohio. I have seen him for 10 days in the last year but we hold strong. We beleive that God is leading our paths and we have faith that our Lord and savior will direct us in all our ways. I have taken all the negatives in my life and turned them into positives. I have worked for many years with adults who were sexually abused as kids, I have worked with domestic violence groups and I have written a book, "Somewhere in America, The voices Of Child Abuse and Domestic Violence. it tells the stories of hundreds of people and what they have gone through, in their own words. It also includes plans on how to escape as well as loads of information. Unfourtunatly, I have not been able to get it published yet but God will pave the way in due time. The last 2 of my children are here at the University in Kent so here I stay to be with them. The seperation from my husband has been hard but we have faith that God knows what he is doing. A job will open up here one day. So, I decided that I needed a new project and joined a national organization called"Stand Up For Kids" I have successfully started a branch here and God has been so good to us. We help at risk, homeless and street kids. We search them out, feed them, clothes, help them to get apartments. jobs and so on. God has all ready sent me 50 or so volunteers. Someone donated t-shirts too. We have fundraisers planned and the Kent State Sigma Sorority has even adopted us and will be hosting a huge dance a thon with us in october. So, yes God is great, amazing and everything else. We have had the society life, the big house the fancy cars, boats, lake front houses but that seemed to cloud our desire to help others. Our kids are involved in what we do too. We were just going to do Kent then spread to all of portage county but our volunteers were coming from all over so now we have added Akron of summit county and stark county. Only through the grace of God will we be able to accomplish this. There is a branch in cleveland but they have no volunteers. So, God has turned my life around and for the last twenty years I have been getting rid of the negative and turning it into a positive. Even though I have only been working on getting our chapter of STAND UP FOR KIDS here going since January, God keeps opening more and more doors for the kids. With Gods Blessings, Theresa |

how have I given back? Wow what I loaded question. I'm still learning. Learning who I am and what my purpose may be. Life for me has been interesting. But whatever I went through has brought me to where I am today and for that I am more than grateful. I'm new to the church, so I'm still finding that part of me, I'm a mom with 3 BEAUTIFUL daughters, a wife with a wonderful husband. I am active at school with my children, I help out at their dance class. I'm giving every part of me in anyway I know to give. What brought me to church? Well I realized I wasn't living the life that He wanted for me. I like who I am I just wanted to be a better me and a nagging feeling kept telling me I needed to be at church. I have thrown myself into it completely. I am also a part of a business that firmly believes in: God first, Family 2, and Career 3rd. Being a part of this has enriched my life in more ways than I can express, so it's not a matter of how have I given back, it's more a matter of who believed in me and gave me well..... me. Thank you for reading : ) God Bless Ya'll!!

I would like to start off by saying that you have been a true inspiration to me. I have been giving back to the neighborhood that I grew up in by starting an after-school mentoring program with a group of other professional women called Girls Aim High that will focus on tutoring, etiquette, and self-esteem. The reason why I felt that this program was needed is because my high school made national news last year for having a HIV scare and in '07 was labeled a dropout factory by Johns-Hopkins because a 31% graduation rate. We have completed most of the legwork and project that we will open January of 2010. We wanted to fill that void when girls are idle between the time when they are out of school but before parents get off of work with some positivity. We want to instill in young women that they can be anything that they choose to be. I have included links of news stories regarding my high school as well as the link to my website. I appreciate all that you do and wish you much continued success.

I give throughout the year,but what I really get excited about is every year,I adopt a family or families for the holidays.I am a single mother of one child,but I always make time to help someone who is in more need than I am. This year I stepped out on faith and dcided to adopt to families for Thanksgiving and Christmas,I am very excited about helping them and pray that God will not only bless them,by what i buy for them,but just come into their life,so that they will fully believe in Him and that He will come to their aid in any kind of way and not just during the holidays. I love giving and find myself sometimes wanting to help everybody! Giving back makes me happy! |
