So who’s the face behind AsToldByNae!? I’m glad you asked! My middle name is Shana’e, but I like to go by my nickname Nae. I’m just an average girl who met a supernatural God that changed my whole life for the better. Some background about me is that I am married to my best friend of 11 years and we have three beautiful children. I am a glam-ma to our guinea pig Queen Rosie (Queenie for short). I currently love to write, encourage others, and spend time with the ones I love. I would say that my personality can be introverted at times, fun/silly (I love to make others laugh), but I also have a no-nonsense side for those times that I have to be. I like to think of myself as a flower that bloomed in a unkept, rocky and unusual place that no one expected to grow and thrive in such a bad place. I love Jesus with my whole heart! He’s the main attraction of this blog as I am sure you have discovered.
AsToldByNae was not birthed overnight it has been a process of feeling inadequate and running straight into the arms of the Father because I felt like a fraud talking about things I haven’t became “perfect” in. There was so many tears I cried feeling like God gave a perfect idea to such an imperfect individual. Here’s the thing about Abba though He qualifies the unqualified. All He needs is a yes and He will do the work to get you ready! The girl you are reading about struggled with so much childhood trauma, sexual abuse, rejection, depression/suicidal thoughts, hurt, inadequacies, fear, pain, unforgiveness and bitterness. For about 22 years of my life all I knew was pain. Until one day I met the God of deliverance and He literally did what no therapist, drug, friend or person could do for me..He set me totally FREE!! I’m passionate about Jesus because He’s so passionate about me. He pursued me even when I stopped desiring him.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!
Psalms 139:17-18
For me, this blog is personal. It’s not about me it’s about what Holy Spirit wants to do through me for you! AsToldByNae will focus on all things faith, our identity in Christ, healing, navigating the relationships in our lives, encouragement, journaling and prayer. I want to share my heart for the broken, wounded, disregarded, and rejected who’s just looking for some one to understand and grow through the process to freedom with them. I promise to be as transparent and real as I possibly can. I no longer walk in shame and fear of what others will say. So if what I have been through will impact my readers and give you guys the language that’s needed to come out of a dark place I will pour out knowing that God is faithful! So if you also see yourself as that beautiful flower that grew out of a rocky and hard place then this blog is for you and I welcome you with open arms!
