		<description><![CDATA[This is your testimony. Denominations were put aside yes, but what really matters is that they were replaced with Redeeming Love. Your story revealed is so powerful. So when you are ready I know God will work in it for His glory. Wherever you and Drew go, I think this is your ministry. It&#039;s real. And it has the power to save people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks Mandy for having the courage to share that moment of pain.  I find your blog inspiring because your speak from the heart.   I may not believe in God, but I do believe we all need faith.  By sharing your faith through your blog you are helping others find their way.

The word faith means different things to different people.  However we find our faith it is a journey we all need to take.  As your story, and mine, show it can be a hard, painful, journey but so very rewarding when we find what we need.

I love reading your blog, it&#039;s one of the first I read everyday, right after my &quot;Hot Babes&quot; site.  :)]]></description>
