My Healing Testimony

Disclaimer: Please keep in mind, this is my testimony. Your experience will not be like mine but will be as God intends for YOU.

​

July 6, 2019, marks the day when God became very prevalent and involved in my emotional healing process. Up to this point, I experienced some emotional healing here and there, but I still carried a lot of past hurt and offense in my heart. This weekend, my family was out of town for the 4th of July, and I wasn't able to go because of work. I decided to get some alone time with God and commune with Him. As I was worshipping the Lord, He put a song in my spirit. As I sang, the words came forth as a song of healing.

 

Around mid-July, 2019, as part of a Christian mentoring program, I completed an exercise called Dreaming with God. One of the things that came forth was writing a book about emotional healing. At the time, I wasn't sure about its content or even the title. I just knew it was going to be written at some point. Almost a month into my business mentoring program, I heard a pivotal statement one morning as I was getting ready for work, 

 

"You are dealing with a seed of abandonment."

​

Up to this point, I was completing all the business mentoring work as assigned. All was well! Then, I noticed the conversations with my mentor began to change. She started talking about healing. Finally, at the end of one of our sessions, she gave me an assignment that changed EVERYTHING. She assigned me to go back and re-read some old blog posts I had written in 2014 on emotional healing. Unknowing to me, Holy Spirit inspired me to write those blog posts years before as a blueprint to guide me through a good part of my healing process.

​

My mentor's insight about healing was initially met with some resistance because I didn't understand the connection to my business. Then she explained for my business to grow and be successful, I had to let go of my past and heal. I finally came to terms with this truth and started doing my healing work. At the same time I was learning about business, I was healing from past emotional wounds that involved abandonment, rejection, low self-esteem, unhealthy lifestyles, compromised/unhealthy relationships, etc. Also, I discovered that this business mentoring was a divine setup for emotional healing.

 

Over time, Holy Spirit started to point out scriptures and gave downloads of revelation. Especially concerning how my emotions (soul) impacted different areas of my life. Then, different steps were highlighted for me to follow, which gave birth to the six steps of emotional healing discussed in my book. As I was healing, it became clearer what my coaching niche would be and who I would serve. The funny thing is Holy Spirit showed me that I had to go through my own coaching process first. I had to get through it, so I could help others get through theirs.

​

From July 2019 into December 2020, I was set free from a lot of emotional bondage. That was definitely an ordained season of healing for me. On December 27, 2020, I finally published the original version of my book, Uprooting Thorns. Afterward, it took a few more years for other heart issues to surface. Even as of January 2023, I experienced a major healing of some emotional ties from my childhood. I received divine help from a group of women with great faith. They were my blind spot detectors for this instance. From heeding their prophetic godly counsel, my heart was set free even more. I will spare you the details for now because eventually, I will write another book about the emotional woes I've experienced in my life. (No release date has been set, yet.)

​

As you can see, emotional healing is a time-invested process. (Maintaining your healing is a process as well.) It took me going through my healing process (and coaching plan) to realize that I was living way below where God wanted me to live. A heart filled with unforgiveness and offense was hindering my life transformation and purpose. Emotional healing helped me get unstuck to start progressing and living a blessed and purposeful life according to Genesis 1:26-28.

 

As a woman, my sights are on becoming like the virtuous woman mentioned in Proverbs 31:10-31. As a life coach and minister, I am to help other women strive for the same. I thank God, that I can proclaim today that I am healed. My life in Christ gives the gift of living healed and free no matter what it looks like getting there. 

 

I am here today as a living testimony to let you know, that I did not have to face my journey alone and neither do you. Please join me in living emotionally healed. It will be so worth it! Your life will be greatly enriched because of it.
