Counseling and Healing

Unfortunately, because we live in a fallen world we are all in need of healing! I am a firm believer that everyone needs Jesus and a Counselor! The following resources are some that I have found helpful on this journey. Praying that you are able to bring it all to God, who is our Healer. Be patient with yourself and cling to hope.
Things will get better!
