Here is what Mrs. Lyle shares about her faith:


1.       What does “faith” mean to you?

Faith means believing and trusting in what you can't see ( have never seen) but know it's real.

2.       Describe a time in your life when you had to solely rely on your faith.

There were several times in my life. I'll share the first time which was in June 1988.   I had to have major life-threatening surgery that involved repairing a nerve at the base of my head. This was my very first surgery.  The surgery involved going through my skull to reach the nerve. I was diagnosed with trigemenial neuralgia ( also known as tic douloureux or nervous tic). The disease is described as the most excruciating pain known to mankind. It's referred to as the "suicide disease" and I was given a 50% chance of making it through the surgery. Faith allows me to be alive these 27 years later.  

3.       Have you ever wavered in your faith? If so, when?

I can't say my faith has ever wavered, but in October 2013, I put surely God to the test! My son was admitted to ICU. He was an undetected diabetic who almost died. A woman can endure almost anything except seeing her child suffering.   Thanks be unto God, my son is alive and well.

4.       What do you do when you recognize you are wavering in your faith?

I speak to Satan. I have to let him know who I belong to and He doesn't answer to Satan . I think it's just as important to talk to that demonic demon and all of his imps. 

5.    In what way has your faith contributed to seeing your vision for your life realized?

My faith in God rules my every step and contributes entirely to all of my accomplishments.  I had just started my pursuit of a doctoral degree when my son became seriously ill.  I wanted to quit right away, but faith calmed my spirit. Now, I am close to finishing. Of course,  I have so many other stories. Ultimately, my faith has propelled me for greatness. Faith allows me to ALWAYS to be the difference that makes the difference in the lives of others.

6.       What words of encouragement/empowerment/advice would you give someone who is on the path to seeing their vision realized?


Never ever allow anyone or anything convince you to make detours. Stay true to your beliefs.  If you fail, learn from the mistake(s) and get back up. Strive always to make a positive impact.  Most importantly,  live not to have regrets.


Thank you, Mrs. Lyle, for sharing your faith!
