The impetus and title of this manuscript came from a prayer encounter at which time the author had been seeking God's will for her life. In response to the question, "Lord, what do you have for me to do now?" The answer that she received was, "Stop the bleed!" Not exactly sure what that meant, yet certain that she had heard correctly, Michelle was determined to find out. What she learned is recorded in this personal testimony of the journey. It is her desire that others might benefit from the lessons learned and that ultimately God would be glorified.

In her youth, Michelle aspired to be a journalist, but a series of ungodly choices, upended those plans. A few years later, as a married mother of two, she found herself to be more of an actress, as the life lived before others was a shadowing of the self-loathing that was hidden. She at one time would have described herself as being like Lydia from Acts 16, who was a worshipper of God, but whose heart had not yet responded to Paul's Gospel message. Her life transformation began in 1986 when she was saved from religion and introduced to Jesus. Now she would say that she is an unschooled and ordinary woman, who has spent time with Jesus. Her dream of being a journalist has been indirectly fulfilled by the countless pages she has written to record her faith journey with the LORD in His Word. Some of her accounts are personal but many are profitable and instructive for others. She shares as the LORD leads through a radio ministry and personal witness.
