When I came to New Life, my life was in shambles. I was functioning, but nowhere near where God wanted me to be functioning. I was dealing with depression, feelings of inadequacy where my children were concerned. I felt that I had let them down for most of their life. In noonday bible study one Wednesday, my Pastor posed a few questions; “Who gives us counsel?” “Are they wiser than us?” “Do they have a good track record?” Are they in tune with God?” Minister Charita is the first person I thought about when answering these questions to myself. So, at that very moment through the Holy Spirit, I decided that I would ask Minister Charita to be my mentor. She has continued to inspire, encourage and hold me accountable in my Christian walk. We meet sometimes for lunch or dinner to catch up on whats been going on in my life and how it may be affecting my relationship with God. She will give me assignments on how to study the Word. Minister Charita reminds me to take every decision, thought, and question to God before I take action. She always speaks of the importance of one on one prayer with GOD and the importance of having a one on one relationship with GOD.
