Who’s Stalking You?

Hey friends, I wanted to share some thoughts on staring down fear that I hope will encourage you. And I’ve got more on that news I mentioned in the last letter. Let’s chat…

 

Hugs,
Shellie

    Last Tuesday morning, I left the house super early Last Tuesday morning, I left the house super early to get to Delhi hospital in Delhi, Louisiana. I’d been asked to speak to a group of people about Don’t try to Pray Like Her and we were gathering before they moved into another hard day of service in a field that holds my respect and gratitude. I’m still off the road until the fall speaking season, but I love saying yes to local opportunities like this one. By the way, my oldest sister Cyndie worked in this hospital years ago. This first picture is those who asked about her, who worked with her, spoke highly of her nursing skills, and shared fond memories about their time together. I loved asking them to stay behind for a photo to share with Cyndie. We all enjoy being remembered, right? But about the mysterious power of ripples…

Meet my new friend Sandra Williams. She’s on the far left in the first pic and the brunette in the middle of the second one. It was Sandra who asked me to speak to her friends and Sandra who bought three dozen copies of Don’t Try to Pray Like Her for them because the book helped her and she felt like she was supposed to pass it along. That’s remarkable, but before that there was another woman named John Pugh who led a class that included Sandra through the book. And that’s great, too. But before that, there was a day when Sandra’s niece came by and invited Sandra to join her for an evening out. “Aunt Sandy” didn’t have a lot of info, but she said yes anyway, and that’s how she came to be at the video taping I held for the filming of Don’t try to Pray Like Her, an event Joan attended, too. 

Consider the ripples made by their choices.

Hopefully, the prayers lives of thirty-five people will benefit from Sandra’s gift, who benefited from Joan’s teaching, and her niece’s invitation.  And who knows what will happen in the lives of Sandra’s co-workers? What ripples might they start, and how far might they go? God only knows. ✨

    While wanting to pray but feeling distant from God While wanting to pray but feeling distant from God— like we’re on the outside looking in— is a common experience, it doesn’t have to be a life-defining one! Jesus made a way for us to get to His Father and ours, let’s use it and remind ourselves over and again that we aren’t trying to get God to let us in, we’re walking respectfully, gratefully, into His Presence, by His invitation. 

In my latest book, Don’t Try to Pray Like Her, I use simple stories and analogies like this one to help you build habits that will transform your prayer life! Meet me in it and message me with any questions or prayer requests. 😊🙏 #donttrytopraylikeherbook
    For months, I’ve been quietly working on something For months, I’ve been quietly working on something close to my heart, and I can’t wait any longer to share it with you. 

✨ Introducing my limited edition LINGER Candle. ✨

I personally created this fragrance—a warm blend of frankincense and bright citrus—to remind us of the sweet aroma of Christ (2 Corinthians 2:15) and how Jesus becomes increasingly sweet to those who linger with Him.

As the candle burns, something beautiful happens. The cross begins to glow as a gentle reminder that the longer we linger in His presence, the more clearly we see the beauty of the Cross. But the story doesn’t end when the last flicker goes out.

Wash the vessel, tuck in the enclosed prayer prompt cards, and your candle becomes a prayer jar—a lasting invitation to keep lingering with the Lord. Pull out a prompt, write a name or request, and let it guide you in even more conversations with the Lord. 

I wanted this to be more than a candle. I wanted it to become a keepsake, and a reminder that the sweetest fragrance in our homes is a life that lingers with Jesus.

This candle is meant to burn brightly, fill your home with its heavenly scent, and continue to bless you long after the flame is gone.

🤍 The Linger candle and prayer jar will go on sale for $50 soon, and will be available on my product table this Fall for a limited time, while supplies last. *Special thanks to @mixologycandlebar for hand pouring my signature fragrance and helping me bring my vision to life.
