Continually pursuit of your freedom means that you will stay free by any means necessary!! You will no longer tolerate foolishness of any kind!! You will rise up and by God's grace take back everything that the enemy has stolen from you (your self-esteem, your self-worth, your freedom to live life as God designed you to, your boldness God gave you through Jesus, and much, much more!!

Abused Woman Ministries, Inc. is dedicated to helping women, their children and men who have been abused! We do this by providing them with the tools they need to recover from the bondage of domestic violence and abuse. However, we know that domestic violence/abuse is not the only traumatic event that can keep a person from having a healthy relationship! Therefore, we will also focus on recovering from the following traumatic experiences in the "Journey of Freedom: Pursuing Freedom From The Bondage of Traumatic Experiences:" sexual assault, rejection, abandonment, neglect, loneliness... (whatever other traumatic experience God gives me to include).

The AWM Counseling Recovery Program which started on Jan 19th is the first course to your "Journey of Freedom!" I am dedicated to walking with you (I cannot do it for you - I am an instrument that God is using to help you recover - as He gives me your tools of recovery, I give them to you then you must decide to take this journey) so are you dedicated to take the journey? If so, let me know by responding to this post!

AWM Anger Counseling Recovery Program Complete Series 2015

AWM Anger Counseling Recovery Program Complete Series 2015

The "AWM Anger Management Recovery Program," which is a part of our "Tools for Triumphant Living" Christian Education Program which was developed by Pastor Charlana Kelly, purpose is to help those who are recently out of abusive relationships or is still struggling with the effects from previous abuse - have anger issues - if you are angry, you have not fully forgiven the person or persons who hurt you and you might need to not only go through this Program but go back through the "Importance of Forgiveness Recovery Program." In this recovery program, I will help you through your recovery process one step at a time; this is a program God gave me and I am giving it to you as He gave it to me. The "AWM Anger Management Recovery Program" is also an interactive Program just like the "AWM Importance of Forgiveness Recovery Program" and "AWM Violence & Abuse Recovery Program;" therefore, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss whatever part of the teaching you want either via email to me directly (dehooks@abusedwoman.org), on the Recovery For Abused Women Blog web site, on the Abused Woman Ministries, Inc. main Facebook page or on the Abused Woman Ministry School of Healing Facebook page.

This program is part of “Journey of Freedom: Pursuing Freedom From The Bondage of Traumatic Experiences" which is a declaration for 2013 and beyond that you are going to continually pursue your freedom from whatever that has had you in bondage for years, recently, or at present!!

After this part of the "Journey of Freedom" Program the next part will be the "Emotional Healing" Series; I have enclosed an information sheet which explains the complete "Journey of Freedom" Program. We will take each part of the "Journey of Freedom" Program in small steps; therefore, it will be some months before you finish but you will receive a certificate when you finish and most of all, you will recover!

Journey of Freedom “Importance of Forgiveness” Counseling Recovery Program Complete Series 2014

The “Importance of Forgiveness” Counseling Recovery Program is a 7-week Program designed to help people get rid of toxic emotions (of anger, hatred, jealousy, rejection, fear, pride, bitterness, etc.) that has been caused by the trauma (abuse, sexual assault, etc.) they have suffered throughout their lives so they can recover; the recovery process begins when they decide to forgive – forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling!! Therefore, the person cannot receive complete recovery until these unresolved issues (toxic emotions of anger, hatred, jealousy, rejection, fear, pride, bitterness, etc.) are gone from their lives. Those toxic emotions can cause all sorts of diseases in your souls and physical bodies. That is why forgiveness is so important; unforgiveness plays a big role in how we live our lives and how we react to things in our lives. As we get into the details of the program later, you will see how unforgiveness can create havoc in our lives and cause us to have unhappy relationships with family, friends, spouses, etc.

The journey may not be easy but God got you in the palm of His hand and nothing and nobody will be able to pluck you out!! God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!! Trust Him!!

You WILL move forward; not backward!!! You ARE gaining your momentum; God is catapulting YOU into YOUR destiny!!! Welcome to YOUR "Journey of Freedom!!" Let the Recovery begin!!! We are praying for YOU!!

May God give you the strength you need for your journey!
