Jodie- I saw you on the Ellen show, and I just wanted to say thank you and how much I appreciated you mentioning God and your faith on TV. It’s inspiring to know that there are still people out there who believe and aren’t afraid to say so. I love the story of your prayer before you went out that God would reveal himself through nature, and He made good on the promise to let you know that He was with you! May God bless all your endeavors!
