Dr. Grace LaJoy's Calendar
Testimonials:
Motivational Speaker, Les Brown endorsed Grace LaJoy:
"That poem, I Forgive You just resonated in my spirit..."
From Pastor Milton Turner, Mount Hermon Christian Church:
"The day that I
heard her poem He's Worth It, I was ready to give up on a child; but, God used
the words of that poem to
minister to me that day."
Carolyn Topping, Retired Educator, remarked:
"Grace, your life story touched me greatly."
Quotes:
“I am convinced that God does not allow us to go through trials and temptations for nothing; nor does He allow us to fall into sin for our own personal fulfillment, or just to be judged by others; but so that we can come out a stronger, more mature witness for Him and so that others might be blessed, healed and delivered through our testimony.” ~Dr. Grace LaJoy
“God can do anything, at anytime, through anybody.” ~Dr. Grace LaJoy
