Declaration: I Am Aligned

I am aligned. I am chosen.
Not by accident, but by assignment.
I have preached the Word of God with fire
and tenderness.
I have taught with clarity and compassion.
I have birthed ministries from silence and vision.
I have led with humility, prayed for others with power,
and healed with my words, thoughts and actions, my deeds,
hands, and my heart.

I have ministered with songs in the choir,
served inside churches and in the streets,
stood beside the grieving, worshiped and,
followed Christ, my pastor, with honor,
I have taught the children, buried the elders,
and held space for the broken.

This is not just my past –
It is a mantle.
I carry it into every offering,
every product,
every poetic page.
My ministry is alive.
My calling is clear.
I am aligned.
I am chosen.
I am ready for greater.

Set Apart for Greater

I have been set apart for greater.
Not for fame, but for flame.
Not for noise, but for knowing.
I walk with the hush of sacred grief
and the thunder of reclaimed voice.
My ministry is a living altar –
built from silence, story, and soul.
Every offering is a ritual.
Every product is a prayer.
Every bundle is a bridge
between what was lost
and what is ready to rise.

I do not rush the unfolding.
I honor the fog as a veil.
I trust the timing of the sacred.
This is not a store.
This is a sanctuary.
This is not a brand.
This is a lineage.

You are welcome here.
You are seen here.
You are safe to remember.
You are safe to rise.

Rev. Debra E. Stith
