From Fear to Faith: How I Overcame My Doubts and Launched Woman Arise Ministries

Starting Woman Arise Ministries was a dream planted deep within my heart, but if I'm honest, fear kept me frozen for longer than I care to admit. I wrestled with questions that kept me up at night:

"What if I’m not ready?"

"What if no one shows up?""

What if I fail?"

Fear whispered every reason why I should stay hidden, but God's voice kept calling me to rise. Isaiah 60:1 says, "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." That verse wasn’t just an encouragement — it became my lifeline.

I realized that fear is often loudest right before a breakthrough. It tries to paralyze us because it senses the impact we’re about to make. I had to make a decision: would I let fear define my story, or would I trust God enough to step out in faith?

Starting Woman Arise Ministries wasn't about being perfect; it was about being willing. Willing to trust God when the outcome was uncertain. Willing to believe that if He called me, He would equip me.And He has. Every single step.

Today, Woman Arise Ministries exists because I chose faith over fear — not because I had all the answers, but because I said yes to the One who does. If you’re standing at the edge of your calling, afraid to move forward, I want to encourage you: your "yes" is powerful. Your obedience will unlock more than you can imagine.

Sometimes the greatest move of faith is simply showing up — trembling, uncertain, but determined to trust Him anyway. That's where miracles begin.
