A little girl growing up with experiences that she felt that no one could explain. Day after day, year after year, fighting and hiding from an unexplainable force of power. Afraid to tell anyone and feeling alone and helpless. She started hearing a soft voice that made her start to think that she wasn't a normal little girl. A soft voice that was guiding her and protecting her daily. A soft voice that told her things that would happen beforehand. She shares her inner most personal experiences that kept her shackled and tied up inside. Bound and stuck for many years, but no one from the outside would have ever known. She struggled with a power that she had no idea what it was and why it was taken over her. For several year of going through her life of confusion, she fights her fear and finds out that she has a gift that God has given her from birth. A gift that is so powerful that she feels that there has to be many people in the world with the same gift. She wants to share her life story to help other people that are fighting and hiding from their special gift, so they can live their lives the way God intended them to live. So they can know that they are normal and have a spiritual power called, "The Gift of Knowing."
