I have just come across this video today. Funny how God works through people in His timing. I have been struggling these last few months, and today God let me know we are going on an adventure - little scared about that. But watching this video helps me to remember even when I seclude myself from friends or the body of Christ, He will place people (you!) in my day to remind me of His love and goodness. As His children continue to reach for Him, He will do the healing . Thank you for being willing to share your heart in word and song. Praying that your are feeling overwhelmed by His love and fullness from His healing touch this past year 💕

That is my favorite song , If I could Touch The Hem Of His Garment. My husband used to play guitar & sing gospel music with two beautiful ladies & one of them would sing that song & it always ministered to me. Imagine being afflicted with a terrible disease & being made a out cast & yet still holding on to believe that if you could just touch Gods hem you would be healed. That's powerful faith & courage! My husband is now 83 & he no longer can play his guitar & he can no longer sing 😭. Our home used to be filled with music . Now it's become so quite that it drives me bonkers some days . On those days I try to remember all the wonderful times we shared when he was part of a ministry & singing to so many people that were hurting from their trials & tribulations. Chonda, God has used you in such a awesome way to minister & help thousands of people. On your dark days just sit & pull all the memories you have from when your journey started & just know God gives you trials to strengthen you . You are a true gift from God hun & he will always carry you through the darks days when your heart is heavy. Sister I love you & I'm praying that God continues to anoint you . You are loved by thousands, let that sink in sweetie.

Beautiful! know that your tears are your strength and NOT your weakness! God bless you!

Thank you for your open honesty: Covid had almost set me back too. But God is Still on the throne. We tend to forget how precious we are in Our Father’s eyes.

Thank you Shanna for your honesty in telling us your story ! I’m a widow for nearly 5 years now! And I hear from your mouth what I’m feeling in my own life ! My husband and I were married for 55years and I was certain that I would go first because of major heart surgery, and had to move from my home in Mississippi to live with my daughter and her family some 300 + miles away in Alabama! And at times I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore!Like I’m in a bad dream and if I could just wake up everything would be back to normal! But it want !Please pray for me and I will lift you up to the Lord too!

Love you, thankyou for your words, you encourage me. God bless you.

This is Beautiful, Chonda. Thank you for being so transparent, you are a blessing to me. I .love you precious lady.

That was a beautiful and encouraging! You may not of been in a building but I think you still made it to church. May ABBA bring complete healing and Shalom to you In YESHUA (JESUS).

Thank you!🤗❤🙏

With what is going on around us in these times, God is still in charge

Thank You

Thank you for sharing your heart,..I just saw you at the Jubilee Conference in Branson last week. I've been following your ministry for years.. Prayed along side with many when your husband was in the hospital until the Lord took him home.. Thank you for inviting us to stand beside you and pray for you through that journey. God uses you and your honesty in ways you don't even know. God bless..keep running the race set before you and keep your eyes on Jesus

Thank you! ❤

Beautiful Chonda thank you xxx

My prayers are with you Your an amazing women. You love Gid And you live real And you live all of us women Were blessed to have you in my lives.

The joy of the Lord is our strength! I hope that as we sit a year and about 20 days from this video that you have found more peace. All we have to do is ask. 💖💖

Honesty. There's nothing else like it. God, thank you for Chonda.

Love you, Chonda. What a gift to the world you are. Thank you so much for everything.

Thank you for the transparent confession. One of my favorite people often quotes the old tried and true .💖 " when you want to hear God speak, open up your Bible, and read it aloud"!

I can understand your hurt to a certain degree. My sister was beaten to her death 3 years ago by her husband. I look at my life, and seen what God has done in my life. It’s gets me when I think of all the memories I had with my sister. I think on you and how you handle the death of your husband. I’ve been married 26 years in October and I don’t think I could handle lost of my husband. We have been through a lot. But the only way I would be able to go on is to lean on Christ and touch his hem I would be healed or starting to heal. We all have lost someone important in our lives, that’s not what I’m saying. What I am saying is we have Christ why not lean on him. That’s what he wants especially when we go through our storms. I pray for you. You are my all time favorite comedian. I really don’t listen to others because I can’t relate to them. But you girlfriend I can you are real. And when I need a good laugh I watch one of your videos, so thank you and may God Bless you!!

Love you Chonda. Appreciate you sharing your life with us. It really helps uplift myself and others !

Thanks, Chonda.

Thank you Chonda, this made me cry about where I am right now.. Tears though of Gratitude because Jesus has been asking me to make some changes. I know I have needed to do this. Yet scared in some areas to. Well it is time to reach out and move on.. Thank you Chonda..

Love you.....so real.....so needed.....your touchable....I know JESUS loves you being real!!! What a heart...God’s blessings be on you....He honors your suffering,,,,,,,Like the FATHER honor JESUS’s suffering...I’ve learn there is something so beautiful in that process that can’t happen any other way . Because I saw this today. 12/30/20....my pray for you is Joy back at you in this New Year like Never before=brand new....that will cover you= double for your troubles....love your heart with Affection Bonita from Connecticut......

I thought God wasn’t here for me either the last 2 years. I just read The Red Sea Rules book and it helped me get some perspective. 🙏

Thank you Chonda. You have helped me.

Sometimes when we're scrambling it's really time to take things over easy. I hope that soon things will be sunny side up for you Chonda. ;) I loved watching you and your videos since I was 13. I have shown your talk about depression at church to so many Christians who needed. I thank my God every time I remember you. Thank you for your vunerable and authentic voice in today's world.

That was beautiful, Chanda! Yes, He's real ...as I know you already know that. He knows right where you are. Just let Him he you close! Love you!

I justed to thank you for your openness on your life's journey. I can't believe it's been 6 yrs since you lost your husband. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I know that my Father in law missed his bride tremendously. He talked a out her a lot and we enjoyed hearing stories of their life together. He has gone to be with her now 2 yrs. I also love to hear the stories you share of you and your husband. I love to think that after 40 yrs that the Lord has granted my husband and I time together, that we can share beautiful memories also. Lord I ask that you be with my sister, Chonda, though we are not related by blood, we share the same love for you. In the times that she reaches despair, let the Holy Spirit fill her with much love that the tears she sheds become tears of joy and peace. I ask Lord, that you continue to bless her with her ministry. I thank you for the many laughs that she has given me to brighten up my spirits. May she see what a blessing she is to others! I thank you my Father for listening to my request. May all that I ask for my sister in Christ be done. And may you, Father, receive all the glory! I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen

Bless you for being real.

The Lord is drawing us closer. Hard times ahead. Keep looking up toward that Blessed Hope! Fearis not from God.🙏❤

That picture is beautiful. That is my favorite story also. I often think about just sitting at His feet.

I was so screwed up I told God, I can't do this anymore and God said to me I didn't intend you to do it, it's my job to do it. What am I to do, I asked him and he said, get on your knees before me, and I was on my knees for 3 hours and he took all the hurt all the disappointment all the didn't know what it was but it was bothering me out of my life and replaced it with his love and his joy and long-suffering and everything. And when I rose up from the floor I looked at my husband I said I didn't know I could feel so good. And for the first time I saw my heavenly father as my Aba Father, so loving and caring. And then I saw Satan trying to get out the door and I said to him go and never come back again you will not destroy me. And I've always loved Jesus Christ has been my friend forever my best friend ever. Meanwhile for six years I was in torment I didn't know if I did this maybe it would change if I did that all that might change it, no nothing changed it. Then I heard a woman on TV and she said go to the Book of Psalms and mark in colors the different colors of these prayers or thoughts so you can always go back to them when needed: 1. Afflicted. 2. Wicked. 3. Righteousness. 4. Show me, teach me. 5. PTL! 6. Deliverance. 7. Blessed Đelight (Happy is). 8. To Nations & Kings. 9. Trust. 10. Promises of faithfulness & keeping me. 11. My hope. 12. Your love. 13. Repentance. 14. I ask. David, the shepherd boy and Israel's greatest King, writes most of the psalm. Together these 150 songs form greatest collection prayers ever written. A wide range of human emotion is expressed... Joy, excitement, compassion, love, anger, grief, depression. As you read this book, remember that no matter what you are feeling, God wants to hear about it and your prayers to him. He promises to listen to all your concerns and to answer them for Jesus sake. How I personally did this study with the numbers and the colors to wear I had my whole Book of Psalms outline and I journaled that outline and it's so help me during my difficult 6 years in my life yes I have lost my husband of 53 years to so I know the pain there and I just recently lost my sister unexpectedly she was much younger than me and it shouldn't happen. So again I am grieving I need to go to the Psalms. I hope this is helpful and you find it to be true that it can be very helpful but I finally had to just give up and God healed me. And no matter what drama come to my life or whatever, I have the joy of the Lord he is with me every day and all my ways and he doesn't hit me with a bat but he does remind me to draw closer to him, saying "Let me fill you with my goodness, and let me fill you with my love." These words ended up in a song. And by the way I'm a comedian too, was raised in the Nazarene Church all the do's and don'ts but I'm a southern baptist Girl now, and I will never go back to believing their theology because it can keep you on a guilt trip and Jesus already done it on the cross and that means it is finished and he keeps us in the palm of his hand God keeps us there PTL.

God bless you Chonda. You have such a beautiful heart. Be encouraged.

My mother passed 7 days after I turned 14, my father passed when I was 42. You learn to live with them being gone. You miss them but realise they don't miss you! They are in the arms of Jesus and continuous joy! They are not lost, you know where they are. So pick up and carry on, Jesus will never leave or forsake you! He has made a way that we will all be together again. This is about you and Jesus ,the Father and the holy ghost. We are Gods property and not each others.

Beautiful and real ,when you sang Jesus I could feel.😀

Chonda, I just watched this and I feel your pain so I pray you are feeling better today even though we are in 2021. ABBA Father is good all the time and LOVES YOU SO, my sister!!!! Blessings!

Thank you, Chonda I just now happened upon this video. The power behind your voice shows and tells us God is always with us. Thank you for your perseverance through life's difficulties. You inspire by being you.

Chonda,my son died October 2014 and I understand your heartache I still see him lying on the sofa bed, I still feel how cold he was and even though he was raised knowing Jesus as an adult he couldn’t have been further away from Him and with that I wonder still is he with The Father and that is what seems to distress me the most. But I can’t live my life worrying we’re Daniel is because it would probably draw me away from my Lord so I choose JOY and hope to see Daniel when I go home. Be at peace and God will direct your path as to what you should do. Blessings,Janet C.

Thank you chonda. I so needed this today as I am on a similar journey of my own.

That song is soooooo beautiful! Thank you for playing it ❤️ We all go through stuff like that every once in a while but I knowI know you will get through this Chanda because I know Jesus is with you and he loves it so so very much.

Thank you for your transparency, Chonda! That is one of my favorite biblical stories as well. May you feel God's presence and healing as you touch the bottom of His garment. God bless you!

Honestly this is where I am at right now. It's different and the same. I gave birth at 25 weeks the day after mothers day.. I really wish God would just tell me what He was doing so I could trust him, and tell me what to do or something... but I am just waiting and trusting that He is good. It's so hard

Thank you for sharing Chonda that was beautiful and it touched my heart. I love the artwork and the song. Thanks for your openness God Bless

How beautiful! May God continue to bless and keep you!

Sorry. My husband has been gone 32 years now. I know it very hard. Pleas call Mark he seems to cheer you up. Your a good person God Bless you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I appreciate your honesty. Praying for your heart to heal. Love your message.

Yes, put on the full armor of God and have a good loud talk with God everyday, get that finger wagging and arms going and get it all out.

Take care of yourself, our bodies are Jesus temples , so rest in his sacrifice for us ❤️

Thank you so much Chonda for being so real. I can relate.
