MEET LYNN STRICKLAND FROM LAKE CITY, FL
Hi Friends!
Who would have known that God would use a very special young teen, Brandie Reader, whom I had met six years ago on a school trip with my daughter, to bring me to this wonderful community of Women World Leaders so many years later?
See, God has a divine destiny for us all, and He sets things in motion way before we even know anything about what He has planned.
Six years after I met Brandie, I reconnected with this beautiful soul through another ladies’ group she helps with, and I heard her testimony and journey for the first time. I can relate to quite a bit of her story, and we connected as adult women with a lot in common. She heard my journey full of God’s miracles and promises kept. I had almost died but was healed from COVID, and I knew I was called to share with anyone who would listen to my story—specifically women. While lying in the hospital bed for 92 days, God revealed to me that I needed to journal my experience and write a book so I could share His promises and miracles and give Him all the glory.
Brandie believed in this prophetic word so much that she introduced me to Kimberly Hobbs. Kimberly and I got to know each other a little after a beautiful conversation, and then she sent me a copy of Voice of Truth. I could not put it down. The stories of so many beautiful women—their testimonies of God’s intervention, grace, mercy, and goodness—touched my heart and soul to its core. I knew I needed to learn more about WWL’s mission to help women find and use their voices for God’s kingdom.
Brandie was giving her testimony at the Women World Leaders conference and invited me to come to hear her. I went and will forever be changed. I was so touched by the spirit of the women there. The speakers were real women with beautiful testimonies of redemption, healing, and God’s grace. I met some special ladies who were also attending and felt so much community with like-minded women who just love each other and God. Through Brandie listening to the prompting of the Lord to introduce me to Kimberly and this community, I now have many opportunities to grow in Christ and share my journey of God’s goodness, miracles, and promises with many others to glorify Him and further His kingdom! God is good all the time and shows up right on time!
