As your counselor, I believe it is my role to come alongside you as you journey on this venture of living life to the fullest in Jesus. Often the events of our past, present circumstances or fear of the future can distract us from abundant living. The truth is this, fear does not have to be your future and circumstances do not have to define you. Now this journey may require sacrifice and get you out of your comfort zone, however, freedom comes when we allow the removal of any unnecessary weight we carry. Weights might be fear, insecurity, dissatisfaction, shame, grief, unforgiveness, bitterness or others. Are you willing and ready?
