The Experience

I was living alone in Houston and having knee surgery when she offered her services. She drove from San Antonio to my home to cook and do meal preps for me… While on a cruise, she began to birth a vision that God had given her. December 2019, A Warrior’s Sword 10 Strategies To Build Hope & Stand Strong In The Midst of Battle was published! This book did just that for me! Encouraging, uplifting, reaffirming are just a few words that come to mind immediately. I look forward to see what God has coming next through this mighty Woman of God!
