In 2016 my family flew to NorCal to see me at the hospital. The doctors had announced the day before that it would most likely be their last chance to see me alive. For almost two years I dealt with a misdiagnosed illness. Then another two years of dealing with the actual illness, and then a septic shock. At this point, my dear ones were devastated.
I was in ICU and the medical staff thought I had at most, a day of life. God got me through it. The road to recovery has been as painful as the illness, but I would not change it, for it is teaching me so much, and it keeps drawing me closer to Jesus.
Joanna Praises is the result of years of going through a healing process that has brought me so many blessings of peace, true joy, and contentment. I can testify of the power of the Word of God, of setting clear goals, and of intentionality in the decisions that are made daily.

Fun fact: My name is actually spelled Johanna. But loving how my name sounds the way my family and dear friends pronounce it, I got the ‘h’ out the window, and you have now Joanna Praises.
Joanna shares God’s hope and offers encouragement both one-on-one and in larger groups. She praises God for every opportunity to serve.
Where my nieces or my best friends are... no kidding 🥰!
