I had the honor of meeting Janel at my niece Micaela�s bridal shower in Columbia SC this summer. It only took one time and I was hooked. She lit up the room with her humor, sweet personality and love for my niece. No wonder that Micaela and she had become such good friends so quickly over the past few months. .My prayers and thoughts are with your family. I cannot begin to imagine this journey that you are walking but I do know that the God that I love and serve will walk with you through it. He will not forsake you or leave you. Lean on Him. He is a very big God.
