but how we handle them reveals the depth of our faith.

In Christ, your past has no power over your future.

We want to make this known to you all so that you can join us in prayer and also to testify on how God used this ministry to allow for something as beautiful as this to start flourishing. @Gabriel Peralta I found myself in a season of isolation for the longest time since I became born again. At first, I understood God was setting me apart from the world to be molded into the person he desired me to become. After a year or two, i began growing weary and feeling hopeless about my situation in that loneliness. I had a strong desire to be married and have children so I entrusted God with these desires with all my heart since the very beginning of my walk with him. I was confident that he would answer me in his perfect timing. Throughout 2023 and towards the end of it, I lost sight of that confidence and knew I had to shift my mind to start the new year off right with God and entrust him with the same desires even more with great faith. A big part of my surrender was me telling God that I didn’t know how I would ever make friends again because of my lack of social life but that I was laying it down at his feet, entrusting that part of my life onto him. I felt an overwhelming dread and weight knowing that in my own strength I would have to get to know someone all over again which would bring me to tears very often because of the pain I had experienced from previous friendships and I didn’t want to force anything. I desperately wanted someone to fellowship with but felt alone in the world, not knowing where to start the search for a friend. I told God many times “I don’t know how you’re going to do it. Right now i don’t want to make friends but you will do it for me.” I had so much faith saying that. I felt led to start a 3 day fast into the New Year, having that knowing that something would shift in the spirit and that God would move strategically according to his will and bring Godly connections and friendships into my life.
