December 15th has special meaning for me. It marks the date when God make me a promise that sparked my belief in something I had stopped hoping for years ago. That was all the way in 2019. And to be honest, after a rollercoaster ride, I stopped believing. Somewhere along the journey, my faith dissolved…
A few weeks ago, the Lord said to me: Chanel, too many voices…. At first, I was confused and pondered on the meaning.
