"I'm really happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined this class. Reading everyone's post was incredible and truly filled my 'spiritual tank' if there is such a thing!:) I learned that I am not alone- that there are other parents out there struggling, searching, and desperately wanting to be a parent of God. I loved the questions after each reading that made me dig a little deeper and go places in my heart that were happy and painful and made me realize God's presence in all of it! I think for me."聽-Participant from Fall 2018
