Ishshah’s Story – A Quiet Revolution
A lot of women these days spend a majority of their waking hours in the workplace. Many are employed in vocations where male leadership and male-held management positions are prominent. What happens when, as a female, your equivalent of ‘standing around the water cooler’ generates a God-given plan and desire that doesn’t fly with […]
Ishshah’s Story – Mothers and Daughters
As continuing moderator of the Her Journey category on the Ishshah’s Story blog, my monthly contributing post deals with a variety of topics, most of which are culled from personal life experience.

Ishshah’s Story – Surrounded by You
One’s heart is always expressive – in one manner or another. I do not know many ishshahs (or ish’s – men, for that matter) who cannot relate in their life to one or more of the expressions recounted in Surrounded by You – this month’s contributor post for Ishshah’s Story. A piece of poetry from […]

Ishshah’s Story – Triple Crown
I’ve always loved the verses in scripture that talk about hinds’ feet (II Samuel 22:34, Psalm 18:33, and Habakkuk 3:19). Other passages, including the Hebrews 12 account of a cloud of surrounding witnesses in heaven’s grandstand as we run our race, help breathe new life into courage to continue. And not only continue, but train […]

The tagline of Ishshah’s Story is Tell the Story. Live the Story. Be the Story. Indeed, there are stories to be told; numerous as the stars in the night sky.

As one of the team members and contributors for Ishshah’s Story, I offer stories written from personal experience and life journey. Sometimes it comes in the form of a heart cry – as such is the case with April’s submission penned in verse. If this is your heart cry too, I bless you with a […]
