This month, we are delighted to welcome Camillia Dechent from Relevant Finance as she shares a snippet of her inspiring story. Her journey of healing and transformation serves as an encouragement to women seeking hope and restoration. Camillia, a pastor’s kid from Northern Virginia, grew up surrounded by church and faith. However, behind closed doors, she faced significant trauma and the heartbreaking loss of her father to suicide. This tragedy led to a chaotic and tumultuous life filled with emotional pain and destructive choices. Camillia found herself in desperate situations, struggling with anger towards God and a sense of hopelessness. But in her darkest moments, a turning point came. While watching a Christian program one night, Camillia decided to take a leap of faith, uttering the words, “Why not?” This simple prayer marked the beginning of a profound transformation in her life. She had the opportunity to connect with an organization called Mercy Multiplied, where she received the help and healing she desperately needed.
2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
So, What… for This Week?
