- Michele shares her “Horrific Story to Glory Story” God story. Her story starts with her first memory when she was four years old and her mother was beaten by her dad.
- When she was eleven years old she was molested by a man acting like a police officer at an amusement park.
- She said she wouldn’t follow in her mother’s footsteps but she did. She started doing drugs and she got engaged to a drug dealer.
- You can’t change a man, but God can change him. You can’t stay there and be abused while God does his work.
- You don’t forgive somebody just to set yourself free because the abuser also needs to be set free.
- You don’t have the right to wound someone else because you were wounded. You have the right to forgive them.
