My background

Hi! My name is Shelley MacKenzie and I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada with my husband, step-son, and our cat, Stubby.

I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, Christian blogger, writer and some day speaker. My goal here is to help teach women (Christian and non-Christian) get to know Jesus better. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies, and a Bachelor of Education degree in Elementary Education.

My faith

I believe that the Holy Bible is God's Word, that it is "God-breathed". I believe in the God of the Holy Bible who sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins. I believe Jesus was raised from the dead three days later and is alive, now, in Heaven with our Father. I believe that God sent the Holy Spirit to continue the work of Jesus Christ and that He is with us, convicting (not condemning) us of our sins. I believe that by asking forgiveness honestly, that I am forgiven. I believe that Jesus is the ONLY way to the God and I am declaring this before mankind. I believe that because of my belief in who Jesus is (John 3:16), I am a child of God and my final destination is Heaven.

My involvement

I attend Deep Water Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia, though this site is not affiliated with my home church. I believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ (His son) the Messiah, and the Holy Spirit. I help out in various ministries such as the coffee bar, prayer team, and communion server. I also help my husband lead our Celebrate Recovery program where I am the female ministry leader, and small group leader for the women's codependency/depression/anxiety group.
