For Cecilia Kosmicki, God and family are at the center of life. Raised in a devout Christian family, she also experienced the struggles of growing up in church but not fully embracing her own faith — until the Holy Spirit spoke to her at the altar about her son Brandon having the spirit of Daniel in him.
"In prayer, the Holy Spirit gave me the title: Raising Daniels in a Babylonian World."
— Cecilia Kosmicki
"Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before."
Daniel 6:10
