Uhhh\u2026 No.<\/p>\n
After months of study, I was challenged with a different picture of peace\u2014a deeper, wider, richer picture than the one I was asking for and quite honestly, one I\u2019ve prayed for others too many times to count.<\/p>\n
Shalom is a richer picture peace: God\u2019s dream for our wholeness in a broken world.<\/h2>\n
In the pages of \u201cShalom Sistas: Living Wholeheartedly in a Brokenhearted World\u201d I really hope to make you laugh, think, smile, remember awesomely 80\u2019s movies, wanna say \u201cy\u2019all\u201d, join the Sisterhood,\u00a0 and of course, invite the Prince of Peace to make you whole because, Sistas\u2026<\/p>\n
We are made to make the world whole.<\/h2>\n
Here\u2019s my journal in which I\u2019m writing \u201cShalom Sistas\u201d. Pray for your girl, ok?<\/p>\n
