It's me, Chonda!

WELCOME. Rosa!  It has been awfully quiet here for a while.  i think most have been following the facebook and twitter sites and are too busy to enjoy our little chat forum here.  I get on here daily and give some posts frequently, as do a few others I know of.
Glad to have you aboard!

This is my page of happy thoughts and funny pictures and songs! Also I do a blog and it is under New blog.This is also Scriptures and happy pictures and a happy song for the day!I believe that you will be uplifted and truly blessed! We would love to be a blessing to you as you have been a blessing to us! My husband said when I first showed him your video,"She has a shrill voice,but I gotta hand it to her,She is HILARIOUS!"Men are so honest,God love them! Ha! Ha! But he too has been blessed by your ministry.I am trying to talk him into buying me tickets to your Extrodinary Women's Conference i Kansas! He said,"Pray to the Lord for a financial blessing and I would be glad to send you!"I said,"You bet your bottom dollar! I have the gift of God creating Faith and I willspeak it into existence! Hope to hear from you soon! God Bless and keep you! :

Dear Chonda, I just came from your show in Sarasota. You are an amazing woman. I love you. Tell it like it is, honey. You keep on telling the truth. Thank you for coming even though you were sick. You just don't even know how much I needed to hear what you had to say tonight. I too battle with depression and I love Jesus with all my heart, with all my mind, and all my strength. Thank you, Chonda. You are an amazing testimony. I hope to one day meet you and share with you my testimony of God's mercy, love, and grace. Forever sisters in Christ.

Hello Chonda.  A friend of mine introduced you to me during a dark period in my life.  I have seen your videos and just finished reading your book-Laughing in the Dark for the second time.  It was such an inspiration to me both times.  I want to share with you my journey over the past years. I too came from a Christian background -a minister's daughter.  My faith has always been strong and I have always felt God in my Life.  But the journey I began in 2002 would test my faith in ways it has never been tested before. 

In July 2002, I lost my best girl friend and Mom.  She became ill suddenly and died 2 weeks after. In May 2006, I lost my Daddy.  He was hospitalized for one week before he died. My husband of then 32 years died in March 2007.  He was my best friend and my life.  After a week of vertigo in September 2007, I had a brain tumor removed in October 2007.  Two weeks to the day of my surgery, my oldest 31 year old son wiped out on a dirt bike and broke his leg in several places.  It would take 6 months before he could return to work. 

In January 2008, I entered my first round of therapy.  About time don't you think?  This month,  I have been released from my latest therapy.  During both times, I read your book.  This last time, I found many things that I missed the first time.  I am planning on reading it the third time and will use your bible quotes before each chapter as my bible study guide.  Thank you so much for sharing your life, your humor, your faith and your journey with me.  I truly believe that God spoke to me through your witness.
