Valisha was brought up by in a Christian Family by her widowed mother, who took on the role and attempted to fill the shoes of being both mother and father in her life; to provide for the family. Valisha saw the struggles and felt the pressure and results in this and wanted to have her own way of helping to provide. She felt the need to assist in some way. To endeavor to provide a resolution and to relieve some burdens from her mother and to become the independent woman that she is, she launched out into the workforce at a young age while trying to care for herself and find a better way to live and survive and to obtain the love and affirmation that she was searching for in a “Father Figure”. This eventually led her to leaning towards men and sex as her main source of support, love and affirmation. After hearing all the “instant gratifications” about the temporary conveniences and insincere promises of what they would be able to offer her, as what then seemed to be an escape from her current surroundings; as she searched for a “father figure”, she has realized that it is the Lord God Most High, Himself that yields agape love and no other source until He does the preparing.
The rape, the emotional abuse, the crisis, the homelessness, being misunderstood, the poor choices, bad relationships, Rejection, the men, the sex, the triangles of manipulation, the Hurt, the fear, and FAITH have all been factors that have drawn her closer to God as never before. Oh yeah, can’t forget to tell you about the Psych Ward, which was satan's attempt to induce a full break down and scatter her mind. This was clearly the enemies’ tricks to destroy her, distract her, consume her purpose and to kill off for good the pieces that God had already put together. Satan saw Valisha’s potential and attempted to deter her. But the Lord Most High is THE SOVEREIGN GOD and because of relationship and intimate worship with God along with sure foundation that was in her, is the only reason why the schemes didn’t work and they won’t ever work! That’s what brought Valisha as well as others through who were there as well. Yeah, the weapon did form, but it did not prosper. God hid her under the shadow of HIS wings. And now satan and his camp are mad as hell. She quotes, “You can take me from the stage, but you can’t steal my worship and praise.nor will you destroy any piece of my purpose.” She is so alive, still standing and going stronger for the Lord than ever before. God has been the deliverer and Grace that has covered and will continue to be her divine protection. She quotes, “I’ve been concealed by His Glory. My glow, the gifts and anointing didn’t come from always being happy, comfortable or spoiled, but from process and me being fulfilled and filled by God. It wasn’t always handed to me. Now don’t you dare get it twisted this time, I needed people too. I still do need ‘the right people’, but God fills me and He always provides for me.”
She understands the mindset of many young people, specifically in lower income families, but really in any income bracket when they say, ‘I want a job, I’m tired of asking my mom/parents for things and hearing no because they have to take care of more important needs.’ She quotes, “We, as adults have to use caution when we hear this being said around us, and find a way to sacrifice and meet the need and not just through another program.” She understands why some students act out; not out of stupidity or ignorance or just to get attention, but because they have no positive male or female figure to model, that’s not trying to take advantage of them in some way. She can relate to the student who is excited about starting college and on the first day they are already behind because they can’t afford books and supplies they need in order to get a jump start and be successful. She understands getting accepted into the college of choice and not being able to pay to stay and/or return, even if it’s an error on both ends. She can relate to being a child amongst many talented children in the family and being overshadowed, while searching for an identity. She can relate to the person who leaves the doctor’s office speechless, in shock, in pain and afraid to share with others: only to discover, after several consultations and spending all that you have, that it was thought to be a misdiagnosis so says the doctors, but the TRUTH is Healing Manifested and, let's just say that God is Jehova Rapha: The God who HEALS!
After internally posing the question in many of her male relationships; “Are you my daddy, my lover, my friend, or my cover”; Today she does not accept any old thing, she will not accept phony relationships, she does not accept defeat and she has a pet peeve for lazy men and people. She quotes, “Somebody’s got to work, everybody wants to be in the spotlight, but nobody wants to get dirty. There is no excuse! So what are you doing? Are you working or waiting without movement? If you’re not moving, don’t come my way to be a leech unless you are moving with me! I don’t need no prospects, I need your FAITH. I’ve got work to do! As a word of Caution to : Matthew 22:44The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? Be careful in how you handle the pure and those that God have called to do great work and fulfill purpose. When there's a work to do, God will use anyone that He so desires. And I've got a lot to do!"
God has been very gracious in the restoration process, while delivering pruning, building and restoring several ministries, endeavors, and meaningful relationships through her, which include U.N.I.T.Y. of NC Inc. and Kingdom Woman Ministries Inc. She uses her “real life” first hand, feel, felt and found experiences to encourage and edify others as well as other various tools and resources. She never promises to have or to know the right way, the perfect way or the best way, but she is always willing to share her life and what she has to make a positive difference in somebody’s life in one way or another. She quotes “No, Many problably think I don’t deserve it, but the Lord God Most High chose me, because He loves me. At times I question why. No more church as usual for me, no more complacent or showy worship, no more...just another song or sermon because we like it or just because it feels good or sounds good, no more relationships just because I don't want to be alone...no more showy programs without true impact, If the Lord God Most High is not there, you probably won’t find me there unless I’m led otherwise.” She is living a life of restoration and replenishment as she states, “I move forward in humility and BOLDNESS, and Courage”...reflecting on Samuel 30:8;19. ‘Without fail I will recover all...’ “People may attempt to fail you and let you down, but the Lord Most High God NEVER fails and He won’t give up on you. This is not everybody’s story, TESTAMENT, or inspiration but it is mine, and I’m Choosing not to Abort Destiny: They are my Purposes, Dreams and Visions, But Not without my Father!” Do you know Him? His name is The Lord God Most High! He's Looking at YOU OR HAVE you missed his view!
