Did you know that a healthy body means a healthy mind? Our speaker today emphasized the importance of taking care of your health.

Sometimes we ladies are so busy taking care of everyone and everything on this planet, that we forget to take care of the one very important person-us. Many of us have been taught to be the nurturers and the responsible ones. That is all fine, but the strange thing is, while we are balancing the family and making sure they are all healthy and happy, we can become off balanced and jeopardize our health.

Imagine now you’re in an abusive situation and told that you are not worth anything. Why would you want to take care of yourself when it just seems pointless? Or, you live in such chaos that it is a matter of daily survival and your overall health is not the top priority.

As the weeks have progressed, we are seeing that the ladies are feeling that they are worthy and therefore they want to take care of themselves.

That is the great thing about JRC; if the ladies stick with it, the rewards are a freedom to live a happier and healthier life for themselves and their families.

Amazing Class Healed Without Scars Class at Joshua Resource Center

Bredna, one of our previous graduates, came by today to let us know just how much her life has changed and how well she is now. When I asked her what she gained the most by attending JRC, she said, “I got my self-esteem back through the Healed Without Scars class and the Boundaries class, and my faith in God grew. I’ll always remember what I learned and I use it everyday. I was accepted here. I fit in here. ”

Brenda has enrolled in Pellissippi and wants to become a RN. She has a new home and she is radiant.

Again, thank you for your faithfulness in helping our women. Kathy Kagley
