“No matter how hard I tried, or how much I wanted to fix things on my own, I couldn't heal what was broken inside, but Jesus could.”

Cassidy grew up knowing about God, but she didn’t truly know Him.

When her mom passed away, everything changed. She felt overwhelmed, hurt, and lost. Instead of turning to God, she turned away and tried to handle everything herself, which only left her feeling empty.
