Happy Thanksgiving Troy! Thank you for your ministry, it's a blessing every day. 💞🙏
Thank you for praying along with me, Donna. It's encouraging to know you are joining in!
Thank you Troy, that was just what I needed this morning☺️
Thank you Troy, that filled my cup❤
I'm glad to hear it, Donna! Thank you for joining me in prayer. It is nice to know others are praying along!
Thanks for sharing brother New friend here stay connected God bless
This was a great video! God is so good man!
I agree, believing is present and ongoing. Not something we just did in the past. Relying on God, experiencing him over and over. I once did that but i find it hard to do that now so do pray for me. God knows my name.
Praying for you right now, @whomever7393. Thank you for sharing with such openness and honesty. Please know if you need a safe person to talk with, feel free to reach out. It would be an honor to hold space for you to process whatever is on your heart.
Troy, what you have written is so beautiful and spoken. I am so touched by your taking the time to do this. Thank you. I look forward to watching each one.
Happy Hanukkah everyone !! I wish you all good health , success and happiness !! Much Love ✌️😎💕
