My soul seeking the oxygen of freedom, only pulsed up betrayal and shame. My spirit? Holding the keys to life in full, but not knowing where to find the door. I had tasted death, no longer wanted life, and knew that this reality was bound to take me out.
On a trip to visit my son, this stranger came up to me and said, “God has something to say to you.” The words that followed were catastrophic floods to my parched desert heart. I was given hope. God saw me. I meant something to Him. I had a purpose.
I was invited to a trauma seminar at the College of Athens, and there I encountered something profoundly simple. It was that the truth would set you free.
I watched as people with lifelong trauma and shame replaced their buried lies with the everlasting word of God and found peace. People repented from bitterness and chose to forgive, and they would find joy. This was only the beginning, and I knew I needed more.
Through a financial miracle, I was able to become a student of the C4C program. It was the same thing over and over again: allow God to reveal a wound, find the lie attached to it, replace it with the truth of the Word, and forgive/bless those involved.
Over time, having faith in the words of God brought me life. I now believe I am called to do the same for others. I completed the C4C certification and am now practicing as a coach for women who crave to be set free. I am thrilled to help others come into agreement with the truth of the word and to return to joy.
