Ms. Char Howard shares her very personal story of traumatic events and loss that spiraled her into an addiction to food. At her lowest point she finds herself wheelchair-bound, oxygen dependent, on multiple medications, and defeated, when she calls out to God to take her life...or save it?  

 

 

"True healing of the mind, body, and spirit only comes through Jesus Christ." - Charlya Howard

 

The vision God gave her in those moments was the catalyst for something miraculous.  

Today, Char is FREE from her wheelchair and oxygen. She is FREE from her addiction. She is filled with peace, joy, and love for God. With a background in mental health nursing, she is passionate about serving others and helping them find healing. She is employed at the Healing Care Counseling Center as their Administrative Assistant and scheduler, and she is planning to pursue her Pastoral license. She visits Weight Watchers to inspire others, and credits them with some of her successful habits. However, she primarily teaches the Daniel Plan as it incorporates faith, and is where her heart lies.

Told by her physicians that she would never walk again, Char has now has walked a 5k, 10k, and will walk in her first 1/2 marathon in June.  She shares that her MRI still reveals a major spinal cord injury, and she does still have days where she experiences pain, yet her faith helps her to sustain her through those times. Her medications have decreased from over 40 to 7!  What an inspiration!

 

"They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed."

Matthew 14:36 NLT
