“Keys to Freedom has changed the way I look at my childhood and my future. I knew I did not like the way I felt growing up and suffered much of my adult life in making wrong decisions that impacted my life negatively and those of my children. I recognized that I was repeating cycles I had to own, and I knew God was speaking to my heart and I was finally ready to listen. I surrendered to the pain that was uncomfortable, the pain that I ran from most of my life because it made me feel worse about myself than I already did.
Finding myself in another painful self -betraying relationship, I found Keys to Freedom at my church, not knowing what it would be like or what was to come. I found each week as I did the homework that layers of pain were being stripped away from me. I could clearly see and learn how to communicate with the Lord better. This was finally the answer I had been searching for! Years of counseling did not bring forth any fruit in my life and I felt defeated. Each week in class, listening to others’ stories and receiving the guidance of our table leaders, helped me feel accepted while I was going through my pain. I could feel something happening in me and began seeing through the homework how to develop a relationship with God.
First weekly, then daily, and now in every moment. I could actually hear Him and the tears flowed with healing as He spoke to me. I felt so insignificant before and I began seeing myself as someone who mattered in this world. I mattered to Him and I finally counted. I am free! Free to love myself, free to feel God’s grace upon my life and learn what true obedience is. Keys to Freedom has given me the ‘How To’ tools to reach God. I feel heard by Him and am learning who He really is and how much He loves me. I am learning how He communicates with me and how worthy I really am.”
