I can truly say that God has restored joy to my life. I experienced emotional, mental & verbal trauma over long periods of time early on in life. As a small child, I went through this in my home and it carried on into adulthood with my husband. When I was a kid, I was […]...

I want to share a word of encouragement to give you hope. As fairly new Christians, my husband and I were going to a home group, as well as attending the church. We had decided to do a forty-day Daniel fast with group. I hadn't done much fasting before so I wasn't sure if I […]...
