This Is A Life Revised: The Heart Behind the Blog
Table of Contents
Hi, I’m Donielle. Wife, mom, Christian artist, and the heart behind A Life Revised.
I started A Life Revised because I feel compelled to share my testimony, and I want to create a space for others to share theirs, too. I created this space to break free from the silence I had settled into, because the enemy would love for me to stay quiet, but I know, like others who walk with Christ, I am called to speak. I’ve been through a lot, and I know I’m not the only one. This is a space for real stories, encouragement, and reminders that God is still a miracle worker! The reminders are for me, too! I am still waiting on God to come through for me in some areas.
Why I Stopped Sharing My Story
I used to be bold in sharing my story, whether I was singing or speaking to youth, I never hesitated to give my testimony. As I entered my 30s battling PCOS and depression, I started to become more and more quiet. I have not shared like I used to. I have not been as social. I pulled back.
Stepping Out in Faith to Share Again
Lately, I’ve been feeling the leading of the Holy Spirit saying to me, “You have a story to tell. You have something to share. I’ve done so much in your life, and you used to share it all the time. People were blessed by your story and your testimony.” I’ve been feeling that nudge, that urge to speak up, to share again.
In A Life Revised, I’m sharing my testimony of Jesus and all that He’s done in my life, but this blog isn’t just about me. It’s also a space for others to share their stories, their struggles, and their moments of breakthrough. Whether it’s healing, deliverance, restoration, or simply finding peace in the middle of chaos, I want this to be a platform where testimonies are told and God is glorified. That’s the heart of this blog: a space for real people to share what a life revised by Jesus truly looks like.
Alongside the testimonies, I also plan to share content through a Christian lens. While I’ll be the primary contributor starting out, I hope to have guest contributors sharing their testimonies and stories of how Jesus loved, healed, and delivered them.
This is not some new ministry launch but simply a creative outlet and hopefully an evangelism tool. The goal is to lift the name of Jesus and draw people closer to Him. My prayer is that people who don’t know Him might want to know Him, and those who do know Jesus would be encouraged that God is still a healer, still a deliverer, still a way maker. He sees us, and He still meets our needs.
That’s why I started A Life Revised.
Why I Chose the Name A Life Revised
The name, A Life Revised, actually came from an old blog I had years ago, before I was married. Back then, it was a simple WordPress.com blog where I shared recipes, my natural hair style tutorials, and bits of life as someone engaged and preparing for marriage.
When I was thinking about what to name this new blog, I remembered my old one, and the meaning behind the name stuck with me. A Life Revised means a changed life. When I think about that phrase now, I think about a life that’s been transformed by Christ. It felt like the perfect name—”Because life with Jesus rewrites everything.” I had to throw the tagline in here, haha.
