It was an honor
Wow! I got the opportunity to be able to record my Journey 2 Overcome with Jen Lee. She was beyond understanding and caring. She not only took time to help me understand the process but she also gave me the opportunity to hear the intro and help her edit it before releasing it. She also logged on and did mic checks with me the day prior. I met her last year through and mutual friend and I knew this was from God. Her testimony alone, touched my heart but being able to work with her, was indescribable. God is using her in mighty ways for his kingdom and his glory. I am excited to be apart of her journey.
Purpose through circumstances
Jennifer is such a powerful woman. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her several times in addition to hearing her speak. Her courage and determination to not only heal herself, but to help others move through their traumatic experiences to live beautiful and fulfilling lives is a testimony to her strength. Her ability to be vulnerable and trust that she will meet the right people to continue spreading her message of hope is truly an inspiration to witness!!
