With barely more than the clothes on her and her daughter's backs, Chelle fled an abusive marriage and relocated to a place where she had no friends or family, nor a job. Thanks to God, Chelle has a New Life Today! The New Life Today Blog is the way Chelle shares what God has taught her about faith, and God's grace and mercy.
