He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” – Psalm 91:1-2
Sheltered – To protect or shield from something harmful; to defend, guard and preserve
In – To surround, inclusion in a space
Grace – The favor of God
‘Sheltered in Grace”… a gathering of thoughts to encourage, lift up and spur one another on as we journey on towards our heavenly goal.
Lee Ann Kemp
Living life “Sheltered in Grace” on a small ranch in Bonham, Texas with Bindi the dog, Donkey the donkey, and Hank his sidekick. Being married to Kelly for forty-two years was a gift I will forever cherish. “Mom” (two boys) and “Nunu” (5 grands) are two of my favorite words. I love standing before women and sharing how important our work is to HIS Kingdom. The layered simplicity of His message always amazes me.
If I had to choose a special gift God has blessed me with it would be this – I am surrounded by godly, encouraging friends who listen to my thoughts and ideas and then say, “YES, I’ll help. We can do this!”
– Deuteronomy 30:19b-20a
Jayme Stokes
I have been married to my college sweetheart, Bobby for 37 years. We have four children and nine Grands. I am a high school Principal at Ouachita Christian School in Monroe, LA, teach college courses for ULM and love to garden and read. I have spent the past seven years studying the prophets. I consider myself an Elijah. I have seen great spiritual victories in my life and I have been known to scamper back to my broom tree. My Jesus holds me safe in both places. It is really all about HIM.
Thus says the Lord:
“Stand by the roads, and look,
and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
and find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
– Jeremiah 6:16
Leigh Ann Nichols
I am a child of God, wife to Jody, and mother to Jackson, Mason, and Karis. My roots began in Texas, but for the past seventeen years, our family has called Tennessee home. I work as a teacher and coach and also serve as the Director of Women’s Ministry at my home congregation, Nolen Hills Church of Christ. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake, watching my kids compete on the volleyball and basketball courts, and caring for our miniature donkeys and goats.
One of my greatest passions is encouraging women to live a transformed life by being anchored to Him. I love sharing this message through Sheltered in Grace and at ladies’ events inspiring women to grow deeper in their faith and walk confidently in Him. Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.
– 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

I am a junior in high school and fill my plate with musical instruments and FFA. I enjoy Tuesday night bible studies with my youth group, leading devotional thoughts, singing, and just hanging out with like-minded youth. In my spare time I meditate on God’s word through bible journaling and my blog, Lauralee’s Raes.
