Steps to Empowerment is a support group that focuses on spirituality, personal growth, and healing.

I am a woman of purpose and destiny. I haven’t always known what my purpose or destiny was until I allowed God to enter my heart and share his love and compassion for the purpose and destiny He has for me. I know it now as the Bible says, “I was blind but now I see”. What was I blind to? I was blind to the deceptions of the enemy.
On a particular day I was reading my Bible when I came to Isaiah, chapter 61:3. The Lord spoke to my heart and said, “This will be your ministry, Beauty for Ashes”.
It’s a mystery why God would choose someone who had a life filled with ashes and a large absence of beauty.
God’s will for me was to bring His message of Beauty for Ashes in salvation, restoration, healing, compassion, forgiveness, love, peace and joy.
Joyce Meyer said, "My mess has become my message, my misery has become my ministry and I am using these experience’s I gained from my pain to help multitudes of others who are hurting. I encourage you not to waste your pain. God will use it if you give it to Him."
Like Joyce, God has given me beauty for my ashes and He is patiently waiting to do the same for you.
In His Grace Everyday,
