About Me

““HI! I AM DESIRAY 💕 I am so glad you are here!

What is it that fuels you? For me, it is writing my daily blogs and podcasting. Sharing my faith with the world is truly my passion. I am also passionate about being a good steward of what God has given me.

I love doing my exercises work out in my home, going on nature walks and hikes with my husband. Spending time with the grandchildren. Attending social events within my community.

One of the ways for you to know about me is to read my blogs and listen to any of my podcasts. I share my life experiences along with testimonies of the goodness of how my Lord Jesus delivered me from the snares of the enemy.

I want others to know what I know about God. I want the world to know that Jesus loves them and that He wants to be in their lives.

  1. Hi Minister Desiray, I wanted to drop by and say “Thank you” for following my blog. It’s always a blessing to meet another lover of Our Lord! It’s been a wonderful journey meeting and greeting the various bloggers in the Christian community – just think, we didn’t even know the other existed before stumbling onto each other! God is an amazing God. 🙂 I hope to see more of you!

    God Bless you and your family,
    Rebecca

  6. Desiray says:

    thank you and by the way I checked your page and it looks very good on your site as well.

  7. Hey!

    This is Jennifer from Jennifer’s Hope (jennifershope.wordpress.com). I wanted to write to you to first of all thank you for following my blog, and second, I wanted to let you know that I announced a few days ago that my blog has moved.

    The address to my new, self-hosted blog is http://www.jennifershopeblog.com. I am hoping that you will take a moment to check it out. Unfortunately, because of the new site’s location, you’ll have to subscribe by email if you want to still be notified of my new posts (unless you have another way to follow feeds – my feed is http://www.jennifershopeblog.com/feed)

    To do so, you can go to http://www.jennifershopeblog.com and you’ll find a form to enter your email into on the left sidebar below my picture.

    Thank you so much & God bless!

    Jen

    thank you Jennifer for letting me know.

  9. Maddie says:

    Can’t thank you enough for keeping this blog. Stumbled across it one day when searching for a daily devotional. I come everyday now! Your words are so penetrating and ‘”real.” Sure helps a new church person get into scripture a lot easier than playing pick-a-page roulette with my bible!

  10. Desiray says:

    Sister Maddie I thank you, for what you just said those words inspired me today. I know what you mean about playing pick a page roulette I use to do that when I was new to church. But I am going to let you in on a little secret, the more you find yourself digging in the word you will stop playing the pick a page….Again thank you so very much for coming by and little did you know that you was going to bless me. See how the Lord does things we blessed one another. God is WOnderful..

    Thank you Megan so much I did follow the link and wrote you a message. you keep doing what you are doing because God is going to bless the fruit of your hands.

  13. I enjoy reading your lively blog! Thanks for reading mine

  14. Hello, Desiray. I just discovered your site today and had to spend some time visiting. It’s wonderful, and I pray the Lord will continue to enlarge your ministry for Him. I’m a minister of the Gospel as well — for a little over 40 years now. I host several different blogs, including the one from which I am commenting. This one (Hangin’ Out With God) and two “Healing From Jesus” blogs are strictly for the purpose of ministry. I have been amazed at the response to the ministry blogs — especially the ones that focus on healing. So many people need healing in the world today, and thousands are finding these sites and finding help.

    I had only a short time to visit today, but I listened to part of a radio broadcast. It was great, and I will definitely visit again soon and listen to more. I’m sure those broadcasts help thousands of people out there. The Lord bless you for your faithfulness.

    Sandra

  15. Desiray says:

    Thank yo u so much Sandra for visiting the site today I do believe it was an Divine Appointment that you was led here. I will stop by and visit your site as well. I do believe in the power of healing I have been healed by the Lord from Colon Cancer last year and it’s amazing how all a person has to do is believe..Since that time I have shared how the Lord has healed me and how He keeps on healing me from what ever I pray about..I could go on and on but if I do it will be a book instead of a comment one day you and I will talk and I will share it all with you. You can email if you wish my email is scent4roses@yahoo.com have a bless day and I look forward to seeing you here again at The Devotion Cafe

    I love what you are doing woman of God keep it up and may God richly bless you.

  20. Desiray says:

    thank you Michael

  21. Hey Desiray,

    Just wanted to let you know that I nominated you for the “Very Inspiring Blogger Award”: http://sothisisnow.wordpress.com/2013/08/21/truly-honored/#more-290. I know you have been busy but just wanted to let you know that you have touched my life. Thanks!

  22. Desiray says:

    thank you for nominating me but I can’t take no credit my friend, the Lord is the one who has done this change and work in me. And though it was not an easy process at all I am thankful for what I have become and how He is still working in me to finish the work. When I started doing this years ago I was so scared about the things I was to share thought I would be judged but I knew that the things I have been through have to touch at least one person’s life. And over the course of the years I have been blessed to be able to hear people tell me that what I have shared about my struggles and challenges have inspired them. The Lord says that it is through the blood and the word of our testimonies and I am so thankful that GOD has done what He wanted in me because as I say all the time what we go through in life is never about us it’s for others…AMEN Thank you for commenting and I look forward to fellowship with you.

    Thanks for stopping by and liking my post. It seems we both have a lot in common…a deep desire to teach the Word of God. It is encouraging to see another female minister serving the Lord. May God bless you and your ministry. ~Karolee

  67. Desiray says:

    Thank you for those kind encouraging words. May God continue to bless all of us who are spreading the Gospel.

    Have a blessed day.

  68. Mary Beth says:

    Desiray, thank you for visiting my blog. It is always exciting when I find believers sharing their faith life-lessons. I am appreciative of your outreach and anticipate reading more of your wonderful insights.

  69. desirayl says:

    Thank you, Mary. I can still remember the first time I witness to someone. I was so nervous I thought I was going to mess up bad. Or that the person would walk away. The nervousness went away, and the person stayed and came to Christ that day. Since then I have used simple little things when I witness to people. It is never my duty to get them saved, it is my task to tell them about Jesus and plant that seed. For Jesus will do the rest. AMEN.

    Thank you for your comment. God bless you.

  70. hope says:

    I love this! I pray God continues to reach people through your ministry. What an encouragement to read this. Thank you for serving our Lord!

  71. SLIMJIM says:

    God bless your ministry!

  72. desirayl says:

    Thank you for the comment and for stopping by. May you have a bless day today.

  73. SLIMJIM says:

    God bless you!

  74. Wow Desirayl!, I appreciate the time you took to go through my Blog, I’m inspired by other believers that don’t keep quiet about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are all made to shine, So Keep shining Sister!. BTW, Your website is what I hope to have mine look like in the future..So professional and awesome. I can get lost in the website..Great job girl

  75. desirayl says:

    Brian, thank you so much for that beautiful compliment. When it comes to the things of God I am never quiet. As followers of Christ we must speak the truth even when it is uncomfortable. This is why I believe many saints end up compromising.

    As far as my page it took me years to get it to the way I wanted it. Each day I am constantly adding or changing things.

    I do believe that you will get your site the way you want it. It is a progress just like our Salvation. We walk in it daily. Amen.

    Blessings to you and your family!

  76. Laura says:

    Hi Desirayl, I thoroughly enjoyed your blog about you. It was inspirational and I identified with so much of what you shared. I am a retired teacher and understand well the application of real life examples in everything.

    God bless you richly as you continue your ministry.

  77. I look forward to learning from you, Thanks for sharing. This week for my post I will be sharing my experience in finding faith & realizing that God has been with me all along!

  78. desirayl says:

    Good 👍 day my friend. I look forward to reading 📚 your experiences with God. One of the things I love is hearing people share their relationship with God.

    Oh by the way. Thank you for reading my page. Blessings to you.

  79. Thanks to you as well. It feels amazing to finally recognize he’s been w/ me. I want other’s to have the same experience.

  80. What a beautiful testimony. What beauty there is in an honest heart. That is what I see in You. Not to mention what a great Website you have. I have known Jesus for over 40 years and have been through many trials and can honestly say He just keeps getting better and better. I have only been blogging since January. I am still learning so much everyday. I look forward to reading more of your posts.

  81. desirayl says:

    There really is beauty in an honest heart. For someone who has been blogging for only a short time your site is so welcoming.

    You continue to share the love of Christ as He will be your guide in all that you do for His Kingdom.

    As you stated it really does get better and better with the Lord. Blessings to you. 😀🙏

  82. Thank you. The only reason it looks Ok is because the Lord helped me. I had to pray and cry about so many mess ups. But He fixed every one. But it does not compare with what I’ve seen in yours. There are so many special details that are so unique. I haven’t seen any like it.
    You are one special lady. Your words really matter!

  83. desirayl says:

    That is so beautiful 😍. Your words are very kind. Believe me when I tell you. I too had lots of mess ups in life. Cried more then I can count.

    Been through so much junk that when I tell others my story they say no way. But God. He turned my life around. I always believe that God does not let us look like what we have been through.

    My hope has and will always be that those who read anything on my page here will be Encouraged and find Jesus.

    Amen.

  84. I love it. I especially love your picture. You are really beautiful and of course so is your new Website. I still have so much to see. But what a joy it is. Love you always my good friend!

  85. desirayl says:

    Thank you sis. It has been something that I wanted to do for a long time. But the timing was was not right. I see now why I had to wait. God was preparing me.

    Your sister in Christ Jesus. ❤🥰

  86. What is a Personal Website? Will it still have posts? What can we expect?

  87. desirayl says:

    Actually there will be no postings at all. The purpose of me having it is for people to be directed to the sites that I already have. When they click on the buttons it will bring them to my blogging sites. My podcasting sites.
    My prayer is that when people visit my website that they will be Encouraged in their walk with the Lord. Amen

  88. That sounds real good. I am sure they will be!

  89. I love your blog.

  90. desirayl says:

    Thank you Michelle 😊. May you have a fantastic rest of your day.

  91. Hello are you on Facebook or Twitter? I am on them both.
