Little did I know, as the worship slowed, the people kneeling on the floor were exactly those who I was instructed to go pray over. Though I had been set free from horrific fears, I was still pretty shy. So to walk in front of the church and lay hands on people horrified me. But who […]
When Broken Vessels Walk {Day 10}
Tears flooded my face like Niagara Falls that first time I stood in front of the church to pray before service started. “Are you o.k.” The pastor who had requested me to be on the prayer ministry investigated me wiping my eyes over and over. “Who was I?” I thought. Just six months earlier I was […]
