When a business is formed in our minds, the name that is chosen is usually a representation of our passion and our journey to who we were called to become. Women of Worth Ministries, Inc. name was chosen by Renee’s husband who told her the name fits the mission and who his wife is perfect. The mission is to show women that their past does not define them and that they are worthy of all the good things life has to offer.
When your inspiration, passion, and purpose is aligned with your mission for your business then you are headed in the right direction. It helps confirm the calling on your life that drives you to help others. Renee’s own testimony would become the very tool to launch Women of Worth Ministries, Inc. So, what is her story? Renee always knew that she wanted to launch her business because she was a nurturer. However, it would take for her to go to prison and then released to confirm and validate what she was called to do.
Like many, Renee didn’t heed to her calling until a couple years ago because she was afraid of telling her story and failing. Renee was under the impression that she didn’t have the credentials behind her name to be successful. She felt that is what people looked at and defined you as being successful. This is what Renee believed for a very long time. She had to learn that the letters behind your name don’t make you a successful person. However, the credentials help you stand out as an individual. But success is not defined by credentials its defined by what you do. Success comes in many forms.
Letting go of that mindset and mentality set Renee apart and freed her mind from blocking her own blessings. Renee believes that God will equip her with everything she needs to get her business venture off the ground. That is the mindset she chose which allowed her to launch Women of Worth Ministries, Inc.
As with any business you want to have a powerful impact on the community. Women of Worth Ministries hopes to help women have more confidence, feel secure, and help them to become productive citizens of their community. The ministry wants the children to see their mothers progress and how they strive to be successful. Productive communities add to the prosperity of the city, the state, and the country. Women of Worth Ministries, Inc. a legacy that will help women for many generations to come.
Being a woman of God, Renee knows that she was born with a purpose. There is something that each of us loves to do and feel led to do in life. Each person has something that gives them extreme pleasure doing. You go to bed thinking about it and wake up thinking about it. That is your purpose. You must act on your purpose. How do you do that? In the words of Collin Kaepernick, Just Do It! Don’t let fear or any other obstacles hold you back. If you run into any obstacles, find a way around it or over it.
Purpose drives you and leads you on many paths. It opens up the many gifts you were given to share with the world. For Renee, it also led her to authorship. She is the author of a couple books and two compilations with Tyora Moody. Her latest compilation is When Women Connect. When Renee saw the concept for the book, she knew immediately that she had to be a part of this second compilation as well as what she would write about. Her contribution is Chapter 5-Influential Mentors. Renee shares stories about four women who made a significant impact on her journey to author and entrepreneur life.
Renee loves Tyora Moody’s quality of work so much that Tyora published her memoir, Once Broken- A Journey to Restoration and her journal Thankful, Blessed, and Sometimes Stressed.
Renee is excited about her journey and has placed writing on hold while she focuses on Women of Worth Ministries, Inc. It’s important for her to get the offices up and running. Her legacy will help many women for generations to come. Congratulations to Renee Spivey for trusting God’s plan for her life and helping other women recreate back into the community. Everyone deserves a second chance to live a productive life and Women of Worth Ministries, Inc is headed in the right direction. Thank you for giving back your time and personal testimony to help other women.
