WHEN SILENCE IS GOLDEN BY SHAMELIA A. SIMPSON-MCKENZIE
IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK It's been over nine months since there was no direct communication of the vision plans. I am delighted to be penning these words because they mean for me that the "Silence Has Been Broken".
"Vision is a gift that God gives to His children so they can survive the present and have bright hope for the future". -- Shamelia Simpson-McKenzie
For almost 2 decades, I have carried a vision in my heart; it is one that the Creator planted within me, This silence was involuntary, and I am happy that and has faithfully tended all these years. the season has come to an end. I expect the I must honestly admit that while it is in my heart I days and times ahead to be quite eventful and interesting as the Lord inspires the direction that do not quite have all the clarity I wish to have at all times, and so I am compelled to rely totally on God the vision will take. for revelation, instruction and direction.
THE GIFT OF VISION
In times past, you may have heard me share the story of how this vision all started. What is now: The Virtuous Woman Project is a vision that was planted in my heart almost 17 years ago. PAGE

As I am directed by The Most High God, I follow His leading, and if I have no direction, then I pause because in truth, I do not know where I am going without His direction.
EXPANSION IS ON THE HORIZON REFLECTIONS Two years ago on February 22, 2020, the vision expanded and advanced. Just before the effects of the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, an invitation was extended to a Banquet, and was attended by 12 women. The event was in the form of a Birthday Celebration and Crowning Ceremony. During the festivities, a Video Presentation was made to share the vision the Lord planted in my heart. The message I sought to deliver was the God was deeply passionate about having a close relationship with His daughters.
There women in attendance, after listening to what was said, all accepted the invitation that was extended to be crowned as a Daughter of the King. Less than a month later, the island of Jamaica and practically the whole world came to a stand still.. The plans that were discussed would have been affected, yet we persevered. The opportunity to use Zoom as a medium to connect was a blessing, and we used it as best as we could to continue to pursue the path that the Lord was leading us on.
By the end of the year 2020, the crowned Queens managed to keep the vision alive by meeting at the end of each quarter to celebrate birthdays and the crowning of other Queens. Then in January 2021 as I was led by the Holy Spirit, the season began with sharing a Daily Devotional Series focusing on nourishing the minds and spirits of women. In April 2021, the SILENCE came; there were no further directions and so I waited until there was; now comes the RELEASE.
I NOW KNOW THAT SILENCE IS GOLDEN; IT GIVES GOD SPACE TO WORK ON THE BEHALF OF HIS CHILDREN. Shamelia Simpson-McKenzie Visionary/ Founder The Virtuous Woman Project
FINDING MY VOICE BY: SHAMELIA A. SIMPSON-MCKENZIE
I remember in January of 2020, I continually heard the Holy Spirit speak to my spirit; the voice said repeatedly: " You have a great deal to say". I understood the message to be that the work God has given to me is one that will communicate His words through my lips. In knowing that the work I was designed to do is all for God's Glory, I earnestly prayed: "LORD, PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND MY VOICE"
JANUARY 2022/ VOL. 1
I have patiently waited on the Lord to answer this prayer, and after almost 2 years, I now have greater clarity about what God desires to do through this vision. Each day, I ask God's direction so that whatever I do will cause His will to be done, and His Name to be glorified.. Here I am, writing these words which are a testament of the RELEASE OF THE VISION. The instruction I have received is: "Go forth and make Daughters of the King...Queens, Women of Virtue. As I have been sent, I will go, so I have come to you sharing this Good News that your Heavenly Father loves you. Through the vision of The Virtuous Woman Project, I endeavour to do what God bids me to do concerning His Daughters. Whatever the Lord tells me to do, I will do it; whatever He says to say, I will say it. AMEN... PAGE 2
