Barefoot Cinderellas Promo

Hi, for The Salvation Army, this is Cheryl Gillum. On July 5th, join us on Words of Life as we begin a powerful 11-week series, Barefoot Cinderella's.

In this series, we'll begin following along with Suzy Erickson's new book of the same name as we share the testimonies, struggles and life lessons from 11 different women in Salvation Army leadership. And it was at that moment that I came to realize that I was born for a purpose. I've learned what I'm capable of. I've learned the strength that I had within me, that the Lord placed within me. Everything has been very difficult from that point on. Life hasn't necessarily gotten easier. I've gotten stronger. But I said to a friend of mine, I don't understand.

I can't, even when I pray, I can't feel God. And she said to me, then this is the time that you just rest on our prayers. But I think for me, the main, the main thing I learned through this whole process was hope. Don't let go of hope. To learn more, visit Salvation Army Soundcast.org.
