Even after her marriage to the pastor of her church and ministering to others, she found herself in a different pit, one of impostor syndrome and doubt.

Now, she lives every day in acceptance of her role in God’s plan and aiding others in finding theirs.
This is her story.

Shari Harris, author of "Christship"
We aren’t told the truth about UFOs. Not all spacecraft you see in the sky are UFOs, but are Christships. Christship has been used to travel back in time to change history to fit the needs of certain groups of people. Those groups of people will use evil to get their way and control people who are not like them. The only thing standing between us and them is God.
We can’t change the past, but we could change the future with the right people. We will stand with God and save the world from the evil we see.
