5. Great example of the fruit of the Spirit.

                                    The seminar title is "What's in your Bag"  ( Galatians 5:22-26)

      I thought her presentation was so in your face, space and invaded your secret place where that person inside of you could relate to her awaken from its dormant state.

Jodi brought that out of us to confront and love that person inside of us with tools she presented to us toward the road to freedom and liberty
I wish we had more time with Jodi because she was so transparent about her life and what she went through… brought tears to our eyes because we have held captive our freedom in Christ.

Thank you so much Jodi… you have broken some generational curses, may God continue to minister to you as you minister to others.

Hello World,
For those of you who do not know who I am, my name is Melanie B. Redmond. I am Jodi's oldest child. As I have grown up, I have watched my mother overcome alot of different things.More than most people endure in an life time. But I must say I have never been more proud of her than I am now. This is the first of my mothers projects that I have not been apart of. Growing up I was her assistant. If it was planning a birthday bash or a large family reunion, most times it was just she and I. For her to get to this point in her life, it was a long process, and anyone that has giving birth to a ministry knows that it's not easy to be like Job and say "even if He slays me, Yet will I trust him." Mom I know you will see this and cry,"she is a big baby about her kids" But I love you, I am so proud of you, and I will always be a fighter just like you!!!!

I once heard someone say, "God wants to use your most embarrassing (or hurtful) experience to help someone else." When I heard that, it was one of the most difficult things that I had ever heard. Years later, it is still difficult. But, I have seen it to be true, and I see that God is using your hurtful past to bless others. I look forward to see how God is going to use you more and more in the days ahead.

Jodi,

Greetings in the name of Jesus. I would like to commend you for stepping out on your faith and taking the first step of healing. You have accepted what have taken place and now you can admit it was not you that did anything wrong; you were misused. I can not walk in your shoes but I can say that I share your hurt because I know of others just like you and thank God all of you have accepted to change the things that you can and courage to know the difference. Keep your head up and fight on. Remember that nobody told us that the road would be easy but he did not bring us this far to leave us. One of my favorite saying is "It is another day's journey and I am glad about it".

Be Blessed,

LHB

Hey Jodi,

I thank God for his Grace and Mercy. I think that a lot of things that we go through is not for us. I think that it is for us to help someone else. Out of all of what we've gone through, were still here!!
