Show Notes

So many ladies have emailed me over the past couple weeks about dealing with addictions or relationships that aren't honoring God. Many times they aren't sure who to talk to, where to go, or what to do. It seems like there's no hope.

This week, I am specifically to these ladies. Maybe there is pain you're holding onto, addictions or a relationship that's not honoring God, this is for you.

Now, If you are listening to this and it's not you, listen anyway!

  1. What you learn, you can use to help someone else out. 
  2. These principles can keep you free from any struggles or addictions.

 However, when Jesus met him, now the man was finally ready to get rid of His excuses and Jesus was able to heal Him completely.

For me, my teen years were some of the darkest years of my life. I didn’t feel loved or accepted. I hated who I was. I carried around so much pain. No matter where I looked, I couldn't find the one thing I was missing in life…love. 

 It wasn’t until I met Jesus when I was 18 that I finally had a glimpse of hope.

I wish I could say that in an instant, that things got better after I gave my life to the Lord, but they didn’t.
