Shida Rose here!
Hey y’all! My name is Rashida and I’m a Christian blogger. I’m so excited to share with you all, but first, let me tell you a little bit about me.
I was born into a Christian household, to parents who actively served in ministry. My dad would teach and preach at 3 different churches practically every Sunday, while my mom served through the music ministry - singing and directing the choir. Eventually, my parents founded and pastored the church that I grew up in. Basically, I was pretty much born and raised on the pews.
The foundation of my life has always been Christ, though I didn’t always know Him. What I mean is I knew of God from what I had been taught and observed, however I didn’t know Him from personal experience.
It wasn’t until my late teen years that I began to evaluate what I believed in my heart versus what I believed because of what I was told secondhand. I threw all my questions at God and began to seek Him in the best way I knew how. God always proves His word to be true. As James 4:8 tells us, God is the master of reciprocation. The closer to God I drew, the closer He drew to me. & the more I sought Him the more I found Him. He graciously shared and is sharing, revelation about His nature, His heart, and most importantly His truth. Finally, I've found my own truth to stand on.
I’m not a theologian or an ordained minister but I am an ambassador of Christ, as are all believers. I have not arrived. There is still so much more growth and learning in store for me, but who said you can’t work while you learn? We can sometimes fall prey to the trick of the enemy that silences us due to fear, condemnation, or comparison. That will never again be my story. The great commission (found in Matthew 28:16-20) was not a suggestion but rather a nonnegotiable assignment. I’m an employee of the Kingdom.
The mission of Shida Rose is to advance the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. I desire to spread the gospel to anyone with eyes or ears. I’ve made up my mind and decided in my heart to give everything that God has given me right back to Him. The Shida Rose Blog is about sharing the testimony that is my life, lessons, and journey with Jesus.
I pray that my readers encounter the revelation of Jesus & be shifted forever for the better. I pray that through this space you all are educated, encouraged, and empowered along your individual journeys with Jesus.
I’m so happy you’re along for the ride!
Love,
Shida Rose

More about Me
When's my birthday?
My birthday is June 29th. Summertime makes for the best birthdays!
​
What’s my origin story?
Originally I'm from Kingston Jamaica, but I turned 1 year old in New York. My family lived in New York until I was about 7 then relocated to the south. Georgia was my home for about 10 years before moving back to New York at 17. The big apple has been my home ever since.
​
What did I want to do when I was growing up? Am I doing it now?
If you asked me when I was a child I would’ve said a doctor. I quickly decided that 10+ years of schooling was not for me, OKAY! I still wanted to be in the medical field but the exact role has changed a few times. After many rejection letters from Physician Assistant Programs, I chose to explore nursing. Ironically I’ve always said I would never be a nurse after working as a CNA. Now that I’m a nurse I can see this is what God intended all along. Will I go back to further my education and become a nurse practitioner? As of right now, no, but in the future, maybe. I learned my lesson - never say never.
​
Who is Jesus to me?
Jesus has been everything to me. Of all the roles He plays in my life, I love Him especially for being my Father. Teaching me how to love and be loved. He’s been my comforter in hard times. He’s been my healer, mending even the deepest most hidden cracks. He’s been my savior, rescuing me from myself - at times my biggest enemy. & lately He’s been showing me what it really means for Him to be the Lord of my life - He’s my CEO.
