In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

When I first attended EHR (Emotionally Healthy Relationships Course), I was seeking restoration from brokenness as I struggled with guilt, shame, sadness, and self-doubt after leaving a toxic 14-year relationship. I often place unnecessary burdens upon myself when God is ready to carry those burdens for me. EHR taught me to identify hidden emotional traumas within my heart that tend to surface in my emotional reactions and responses toward others. Identifying my emotional icebergs allowed me to let go and to let God hold my anxieties and anguish in His hands. Taking responsibility for my own emotional output helped guard my personhood in Christ so as not to jeopardize my relationship with God through disobedience for the sake of another person.

EHR taught me practical skills for living a Christ-filled life through healthy relationships with anyone I know or meet. The course taught me to practice SILENCE and STILLNESS before God and to seek a real relationship with Him. This practice led me to immeasurable peace that gave pause to my overwhelming life anxieties and set me on a path of healing. I now appreciate the individual for whom God made me to be and I am continuously learning how to become a vessel for Him. I am empowered to share Jesus's light through healthy everyday interrelations in a world craving true LOVE.

I look forward to attending EHS (Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Course) to allow for foundational growth in my relationship with Christ Jesus. Come join me.
