“There have been examples of strength draping, enfolding and enveloping me throughout life. At times, these demonstrations have been overpowering and destructive. Strength, power, authority – at times impel us to feel inadequate, less than, or not good enough if you do not know your importance and position in the Kingdom of God. Through much soul searching and deliverance, I developed a respect and love for God who is MY strength when I am weak.  There were years of strife, tussling, trying to understand  myself, in that God called me to serve those who may be suffering in the community.  I fell in love with seeing people thrive with the knowledge of God and understanding their identity in Christ.”
