Living Wisely Sweet 16 Issue | Page 2

Letter from the Friends, It is my joy to bring you our latest issue of Living Wisely magazine. This year we decided to highlight some of the most interesting sisters who are impacting the world for Jesus Christ. Some are household names and others are ordinary women like me and you who serve an extra-ordinary God. These saints are pioneers in their field making ground breaking inroads for the Kingdom! As you flip through our pages you will get acquainted with anointed authors, healthy heart heroines, social soldiers and moms on a mission. Every lady here was carefully chosen by our team to bring you the top ‘16 Women of 2016’ – each one making a difference for Christ. Consider the works of visionaries like Nashawn Turner who knows how to get you to your new year’s goal. Then there are bold business women like Lauretta Pierce who had a God given ‘witty idea’ and turned it into a cookie empire. And you can’t miss the real page turner, a story of how one mom – Mary Johnson Roy lost her son to violence but found the strength through Jesus to love his murderer. Every page is full of stories of women who are living for Christ. We hope that as you soak in these tales you will become inspired to write your own story of God’s greatness in your life. May the words of the Psalmist be a comfort to you as you carve out your path this year. Remember it is not in your doing but in His strength and plan. “God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.” - Psalm 62:11King James Version (KJV) Walking in Wisdom, Lady A
