Have you ever felt unwanted or not good enough? Shandra Balmer understands your pain. For decades, she struggled with woundedness from unwanted, not chosen and chronic stress, which eventually affected her physical body. Fatigued and weary, she slept most of the day, struggling with depression and overwhelm, and symptoms that made her feel like she was 90 years old. In that depleted place, God embraced her with grace, gently holding and reassuring her, as if she were His beloved bride. You won’t want to miss her inspiring story! If you need some encouragement today, listen to the new episode, 37-From Unwanted to Beloved Bride: God’s Healing Grace with Shandra Balmer.
