See this content in the original post

Sierra Michaelis is 26 years old.

She was raised in a very small town in northern Missouri.

She played college basketball for 4 years at the University of Missouri (MIZZOU)... on a full ride scholarship.

She's now a middle school teacher... and a high school basketball coach.

When Sierra was a senior in high school she had her first romantic relationship with another female... and went on to live as a gay person for the next many years.

Sierra was essentially raised in church... and always considered herself a Christian.  As the years unfolded she had a growing sense that the way she was living her life was not what God wanted her to do... but she struggled deeply with the thought of surrendering that part of her life to God.

She told God over and over again... "Not yet God.  I'm not ready to give this part of my life to you."

"Not yet God."

"Not yet God."

"Not yet God."

Then on January 1st, 2020... something very significant happened in her heart... and her life... and in her relationship with God.

Listen to Sierra's journey... and be blessed as you hear the story of what it looks like for a person to bring their life... and their sexual self... into surrender and submission to God!

7 A woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his feet as he was reclining at the table. 8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.” 10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.  Matthew 26:7-10
