This course has transformed my life in a big way. It came at a time I was hurt and mad with almost everybody around me including God. I could not understand why God had allowed my spiritual mother who coupled as my mother (lost a biological mum when I was about 10yrs old) and a boss. She had been in ministry all her life, mentored me and loved me, and watching her struggle with cancer for 6 years and just when we got breakthrough of raising cash to travel to India she dies there after only 3 weeks of treatment and had to be flown back home as cargo😠There was so much to organize and I did not go through the process of grief.
It is after going through these sessions at Aurora that I realized I had buried emotions alive and would erupt at the slightest provocation. The anger and bitterness in my heart strained relationships with my colleagues, friends and family members. I started withdrawing, feeling so bad every morning on my way to work and to functions where I’ll interact with people. My life became so dull that I couldn’t enjoy even those things meant to bring joy in my life. By the grace of God, this has now changed. Am aware of myself and in control of my emotions. The kind of water that flows out of my heart is refreshing.
The attitude of gratefulness has lit my world again. I have become a happy lady again. My perspective of life situations has changed. I count my blessings right from when I wake up. I have found myself smiling at situations that would initially become so eruptive. Recently, I have been hearing statements from colleagues like “what happened to you. I expected you to be angry because of this” and I smile back.
Recently a teenage girl asked me ” Auntie, what is it that makes you so joyful nowadays. I have heard you severally say you are so happy…”
Of late my husband has been addressing me using sweet names 😄 that I heard last about 18 years ago during honeymoon.
My spiritual life has changed significantly. I have experienced intimate worship and this is something I wouldn’t trade for anything.
I am a totally different person. I trust God to do my best to pass this to everyone He brings my way. My children are and will continue to enjoy a calm and loving mum (used to shout at them 🙆)
My husband becomes the biggest beneficiary because he will do it for life
