 How Cycle Charting Leads Us Closer to Ourselves and God
Women, our cycles provide insight into the design and function of our bodies in a completely unique way! By learning how to observe and chart our cycles, we learn to listen to the language of the female body. When we learn to read our female bodies, it’s easier for us to understand the Truth about how male and female bodies have been designed together. We see the connections between union and procreation. We see how we can use our bodies to speak the Truth. Join Christina Valenzuela in discussing the “Mystery of Woman” in a special online event on Tuesday, August 24, 7:00 PM. Register now at HERE.
