And softness, even in your hands......Thank you for sharing part of your story with us in such a creative and uplifting way......warrior woman of God, filled with beauty and grace you are!!! Blessings this new year.....love, Cate
I can so relate to your pain. I too have had a long painful road to travel. Thanks for sharing this as it gives me hope and shows me that God did indeed have a purpose for allowing me to go through the terrible things that I endured as a child.
My purpose is to now spread His Word and Hope by sharing my story. Please keep Petals of Love Women's Ministry in your prayers. Thank you my dear sister in Christ. God bless you and your ministry.

Yes we all have our own story, but yours touched me, so much you said was like you were telling my story, out of all the rejection and pain I'm happy to ,, God is the only one that could love me unconditional. Thanks Shelly for pouring your heart out, and sharing how God has worked in Your life, Pray for you to continue to be a blessing through your ministry, Love in Christ.
