"From My Heart to Yours"

Shame is a heavy thing to carry into bed every night.
  
I have sat with women who have done the hard work — gone to counseling, prayed through it, built a new life — and still could not sleep. Still cried in the dark. Still felt like the thing they did, or the thing that was...

"From My Heart to Yours"

Fasting changed the way I hear God — and that is what I want every woman reading this to know before anything else. Not the rules. Not the meal plans. The hearing.

God's Warrior Woman ~ Shaniece's Story
