Brooklake Church My Story Workshop 9/11/2021
I was struggling in the beginning of the day. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to participate with my story partially because it is a long story. I was battling with the lies and I found myself wrapped up in hearing the little noises which are pet peeves and I couldn’t wrap my head around how long the workshop was. When I sat at the table I was at, the Holy Spirit told me to stay put and I looked at the table and struggled to think they would understand. When we prayed for the enemies lies to be silenced I noticed I slowly became less distracted and by the time we were to share our stories with our table I was able to share it with most of the events that were important. After the workshop I did remember some pieces that I felt I should have included but for the most part I felt I had shared my story and felt validated and encouraged. I have been wanting to share my story more and I think I would like to connect with someone.

Opening up to talking about our life experiences- stories to others is a blessing of healing for both the one speaking and the one hearing. God speaks through each of us to reach all of his children with His Love, Compassion, Grace and Mercy. Thank you, Jesus!

Logically knowing you are not alone is different than feeling it... I am beginning to feel it more and that's giving me strength to process my past and hopefully share my story in the future.

So inspired!! Thank you for giving me the tools to not only build relationships but heal!!
___
I shared stories I never share and felt confident doing so. I felt lighter and joyful in the process.
___
I wanted to articulate my story better through the process of getting knowledge find the holes in the process in my own life. I believe that was accomplished. One thing that helped me realize that I don’t have to have the exact experiences other people do to connect with them. Connecting with them is more important. Giving a timeline and a systematic way to process my story will enable me to accomplish the very first goal I set, articulate my story better.
___
I Bonded with others. Learned a process whereby to share my story. And learned how to be a better listener.
___
I feel that my story can be used to impact others for good only if I bring Christ into it and make it intentional. So many tears shed, it was really cleansing to be there to both listen and share.

So amazing! Not what I expected but far better!
