Meet Shamiya Young

Hey there! I’m Shamiya

Believer, Wife, & Friend

I am deeply in love with Jesus, and I love to help others fall deeply in love with Him. I live in Michigan with my husband. And I created this space with you in mind.

Together you and I will embark on a journey of candid conversations. I earnestly pray that the conversations and content on my site encourage, uplift, and inspire you to chase after Jesus more and more each day. You are welcomed and loved here, no matter what your past looks like.

Let’s rise to become all God has called us to be. I’ll be here as long as He allows me to, ready to share and listen. So get nice and cozy. Let’s start talking.

With love,

You can also find me on

These are a few of my favorite things…

  1. I love to spend time with my husband, family, and friends. Family is very important to me, and so is fellowship!
  2. I love anything related to interior design and home renovations. I’m an HGTV fan, and Dream Home Makeover is one of my favorite Netflix shows. HomeGoods is my favorite store, and StudioMcGee, Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia, Threshold, and Oplahouse are my favorite design brands in Target!
  3. I love music! I enjoy singing and dancing to different genres of music, but I have an old soul. Some of my favorites are Anita Baker, Isley Brothers, Luther Vandross, and Sade. I also love Detroit-style ballroom dancing, Chicago-stepping, and line dancing (not the country kind).
  4. Hanging out with teens! My husband and I lead the teen ministry at our church, and that is a love we both share!
  5. I love to connect with and mentor teens in Liberia. Liberia has a huge chunk of my heart (I am Liberian-American!), and I am passionate about helping Liberian youth advance in their education.
  6. I love to read. You can find me curled up on a late evening reading a good non-fiction or fiction book.
  7. Taking a drive on a nice sunny day to a place with beautiful nature views is a weekly joy I deeply cherish.
  8. I love to write and journal.
  9. I love to travel!
  10. I love to watch the sun rise and set.

#WithLoveShamiya

God is taking me back to the beginning—back to H God is taking me back to the beginning—back to His Word—as He gently teaches me His heart for me all over again. This past year and a half has held a lot, and somewhere along the way, I didn’t realize how much I let the enemy use those experiences to cloud my view of God’s nature and His heart. Now, the Lord is slowly peeling back the guardrails I’ve built around my heart, bringing me to a tender, childlike posture—arms lifted, simply longing for the love and comfort of my Father.

Life has felt uncertain lately, and maybe you can relate. Through it all, God is showing me something so humbling: I was never really in control. (A part of me thought I was—can you relate?) But in surrender, He’s teaching me how to rest. And in that rest, I’m learning that real peace and lasting joy are found only—truly only—in His presence.

With love,
Shamiya

A glimpse of the sky from our front yard—doesn’t it look like a swirl of cotton candy? The same God who created this beauty created you. You’re wonderfully made and deeply loved. 🩷
For a while, the phrase “Trust God’s timing” For a while, the phrase “Trust God’s timing” felt more like a sting than a comfort. Honestly? Sometimes it still does. I want to trust Him—but it’s hard when I don’t know when or how He’ll answer.

But here’s what I’m learning:
Trusting God’s timing isn’t about passively waiting for what I prayed for—
It’s about actively trusting who He is in the waiting.
It’s realizing that delay doesn’t mean denial, and mystery doesn’t mean absence.
It’s surrendering my timeline for His wisdom.

He sees the full picture. I don’t.
And even when I don’t understand the timing, I can still choose to trust the heart of the One who does.

With love,
Shamiya 🤍

This morning, the Holy Spirit checked me—and I n This morning, the Holy Spirit checked me—and I needed it. 

It’s so easy to thank God out of habit and miss the weight of what He’s actually done for us.

Provision. Protection. Peace. The list goes on!

We can’t afford to take any of it for granted. Are you truly recognizing your blessings, or just going through the motions?

Take time today to really reflect on His faithfulness.
He’s been better than we realize! 💛

With love,
Shamiya
