2020 Graduate Update
“When I came to Mercy, I was struggling with an eating disorder, self-harm, a prescription drug addiction, multiple suicide attempts, and the shame and confusion that came from being molested by a family member. It was through Mercy that God started to teach me that every lie I believed about myself, God, and life, stemmed from a past offense. While I was there, I started the process of walking in forgiveness, uprooting the lies and replacing them with the truth of God’s word.
It’s been 11 years since I walked out the doors of Mercy and started on a journey of walking out my freedom. I’m married to this awesome, Jesus loving man. We both serve together at our church, and we have a beautiful daughter. I don’t even recognize the person I was when I came to Mercy. But that’s something that I want to continue to say about myself every year as God continues to transform me through that same process of walking in forgiveness, uprooting lies, replacing them with truth from Gods word, and surrendering my life to Him. I am so thankful for Mercy and the tools they gave me to walk out my freedom so that I could be a healthy wife and mother for my family!”
