Changing for Life

This is one of my all-time favorite dishes that I have created. It's a dish that I'll make for dinner to go with some pork chops or I'll make it around the holidays to take to parties for dessert.

By using these people that you trust, he manipulates you into believing that you are a FAILURE and WORTHLESS. His goal is to break you down and question God. Why would you do this God?
