• I am so grateful to you and Mike for your help.  My life has changed so much as a direct result.  I am able to look at life's experiences with a clearer set of glasses.  I am no longer a victim of life.  I am just a person trying to do the best I can with the hope that I am doing God's will.  My spiritual life has become my priority and what a wonderful feeling that is.

• Since I spent most day feeling like a bad mom, a bad wife and in general, a bad person, I chose to live my life in the form of a fantasy.  I had a whole cast of characters living in my mind and they were very much a part of my life.  They were so real to me, in fact, that I often wondered if I would "slip - up" and call a friend or family member by the name of one of them..  It sound really strange, I know but in my fantasy life I was "super mom", "super wife", "super friend" etc....  I was every thing I wanted to be but thought that I was too worthless to ever expect from myself.  In my heart I knew what I was doing was wrong, but it was such a security blanket to me that I couldn't let go of my perfect little world.  I never really lived in the real world.  I just made it through day-to-day.  If I couldn't be perfect or if I couldn't do everything perfectly, I wouldn't do anything at all.  In just the same way that my mom "tuned out" of my life, I "tuned out" of my daughter's life.  My life became more frightening because I saw my daughter's friend's parents as perfect and me as a completer incompetents The fantasy world became that much more appealing.  I was perfect there.  I always said and did all the right things and everyone loved me.  It was so much better than the real world.

After my first visit to pray with you and Mike,  I had a feeling that something was going to change but I wasn't sure exactly what.  I knew that God had led me there and I had to find out why.  After my second visit, I knew.  During that second visit I realized that the same issues I had with my mother, she in turn had with her mother.  My mom wasn't there for me when I was young and her mom wasn't there for her when she was young.  I didn't have to be perfect, I just had to be present.   Even though I sometimes still feel sad for the years that I missed out on being a true mother to my daughter, I now know that I still have the chance to be an active part of her life.

I also realized that the characters in my brain that had been there for years were no longer of interest to me.  That realization didn't come immediately though.  Actually, I remember feeling disappointed when my session was over because I didn't feel instantly transformed!  It was in the days, weeks and months that followed that I say the transformation happening.  Now I actually want to live in the real world. It's much more fun than inventing a life in my mind.  The fantasy world is gone now and its' such an incredible relief.

• I would be happy to share how Theophostic Healing helped me.  I Bringing Jesus into the situation made all the difference for me.  Also having you and Mike there to guide me through it was very consoling.

The combination of Jesus who always renews and brings healing and love.  Mike and you brought a masculine and a feminine component like Mom and Dad or Jesus and Mary is very special. 

• I came to pray with you a couple of times.  The first time I came, it was because I was suffering from anxiety and depression and a physical ailment of TMJ.  As you were praying with me, I felt my entire jaw shift and go back into place.  I heard the bones in my jaw realign.  I haven't had a problem with it since that day.  I also have been able to lower my anxiety and depression medication dosage and hope to soon be off it completely.

I have never felt better, physically, emotionally and spiritually.  When you and Mike were asking me to pray that the healing blood of Christ wash over me and heal me, I was unable to pray it - I felt so unworthy.  Jesus told me that I was worthy.  His grace made me worthy - I don't have to do or perform anything to be worthy.  His grace and love gave me the courage to pray and allow Him to heal me.

I am continuing to heal each day and grow in God's goodness and love.  I feel joy from deep within and know Jesus loves me.  Wow, it's just a miracle!

Thank you so very much for your ministry and sharing it with me.  It has changed my life.

• I would like to share what I learned at your place:  we do not have to accept a degrading situation; we accept the facts about that situation and decide what we want to do with them.  I never had this sorted our before - watching and learning from my Mom - I learned to accept anything - this is so wrong - it caused me a lot of hard times- thanks for helping me see through this

• After being prayed with I no longer cry every day during my lunch break.
