It feels soo good to know that you were the light that they had been looking for to help them with their problems..

This is really cool! I just recently heard of cardboard testimonies when my husband was talking about doing it at our church. It looks like God is doing great things in your youth group! These are great testimonies and it is really cool to see so many youth giving them! What a Great God! Hey Matt! This is really cool!

You see, teens don't like to think about the positive things a lot. In a divorce, a mom and dad goes their seperate ways, and a teen starts to worry about their future. "Will this happen to me? How will it affect my children? I am never going to do that!", is all going through their head. Nobody plans on getting a divorce, but a lot of the times...it happens. My heart cries out for every single person that has had to go through this. -Love ya!
