Mentee
I must confess I'm a living testimony of your first album release in 2006, most especially the song titled "CRY NO MORE." It launched during the painful darkest moment of my life, waiting desperately for just a word of hope, then came your album. The lyrics was like God inspired you to write that song specifically for me. I wept bitterly and encouraged myself every day listening to the song because it was everything to me an answered prayer, my hope and inspiration. It gave me the courage to stand unshakable and increase my faith in God in the mist of stubborn storms. Thank you for impacting my life positively. Thank you for being part of my victorious life in Christ.
