I'm like, well, I have shared my testimony. But I realized that I have not in like years. And there is so much more to

fill you in on and to give God the glory for. So that's what today's episode is all about,

sharing my testimony and hopefully giving a couple things, number one, an insight into my life

because I, of course course love to hear more about

the lives of podcasts and friends that I follow online to get to hear what God is done in their life.

But I also just also want to give God the glory. I want to give him the honor for everything,

is what God has brought me through so far. But I want to give him the glory for the way that

he has been so evident throughout my life. So that's what this is today. I want to start like
