HOW ONE MOM WAS IMPACTED:

I was expecting to learn more about being a godly mom. Instead, I feel as though I’ve been saturated in life-changing and soul-healing truths. This material has not only inspired me to allow Jesus to love and transform my children through me, but to keep my eyes on the one true reason for living. Thank you for allowing God to bless my aching heart.
