6 Moms — She Now Knows God’s Love for Her, 6

Here’s the sixth testimony of 6 moms I promised you. Ericka H. didn’t understand what God expected of her when she went through “Making Heart-Level Connections” , but then she was surprised and relieved to learn the simplicity of life in Christ, and she now knows God loves her. [See our personalized 15-min intro video here].

Ericka ~ One of 6 Moms 

“These five programs have been so beneficial to me. I have spent many years seeking God, but not really connecting with Him. Through these five interrelated programs, I have learned what disconnects within me have kept me from Him, and the loving and patient discipleship made available by Marilyn Howshall and Barbie Poling and others in the group has helped me to keep returning to the Lord in obedience in order to overcome these disconnects.

By going through these programs I have been freed from my main disconnect—self-condemnation. Thank You, LORD!! I see now that I’ve believed that I have to always “get everything right the first time”. I’m realizing, even as I type this, that it is also what has stalled my process with the Lord over and over and over. I have (unknowingly) believed that I have to get this “loving thing” right the first time, every time, too. So, when I haven’t, I’ve spent days and weeks berating myself and spinning out of control emotionally, and pouring ugliness out on anyone who came near. BUT NO MORE! I was not created to self-condemn! As a result of going through these programs I have become patient, content and eager to see where the Lord is leading me. I am trusting and obeying more, and I will no longer view obedience as optional or conditional. I am being filled with joy and peace!

I am now beginning to learn to love, since I am much more available to become loving. Before, when I was still trapped in self-condemnation, I was struggling to understand how I could EVER be able to actually DO the things Barbie has described in the Love’s Actions audios. But now those lessons are clear to me, and I am able to implement them right away, as soon as I read or listen to them.

I have received so much new revelation through these programs! Oh, my! I’ve come to know that God LOVES me. And in His goodness, He REALLY wants what is best for ME. His plans are GOOD for ME! For ME! He’s not mad at me. He’s not irritated with me. God is ONLY ONLY ONLY For me. NOT against me! He is good and His goodness is REALLY available for ME! Before, I knew a list of His character qualities: He is good and loving, patient, etc., but now my knowledge of Him has become real and personal.

I am beginning to see real and deep connections in my relationship with my husband and in my relationship with each of our children. There is more loving relating in our household than ever before!

I am so very grateful to the Lord, and to Marilyn and Barbie, and to the sweet women in the live group who have become my friends. They have poured love into my life towards these amazing changes in my heart. I have been exceedingly blessed as so many have shared their own struggles and growth. The fellowship in this precious group is like nothing I have ever experienced. Thank you Lord!”

Can You Identify with Ericka?

If you are like Ericka, you may have felt like you never measure up to what God expects of you. You may think God is angry or irritated with you because you aren’t able to do what you know you ought to be doing. Would you like to be freed from self-condemnation and filled with joy and peace as you live an overcoming life? You can experience freedom from self-condemnation and deeper and more practical connections with the Lord like Ericka has!

Are You Ready for Real Answers that Work?

The heart-level changes that Ericka and these other moms describe is helping them to turn things around in their families. God is teaching Ericka how to let go of false standards that He never placed on her life, so she can follow Him according to His loving standard for her family.

You can find the answers your heart is searching for like Ericka did, and like many other moms who are finding real answers for their families too.

The “Making Heart-Level Connections” mini coaching programs can help you get connected with the Lord toward a growth process like you’ve never known before! Are you ready to build the sustainable growth process that will support the healing of your family’s heartbeat?

Each of the 6 moms you’ve heard from made a quality decision and commitment to allow God, her Heavenly Father, to parent her. Yes, that’s right, parent her—at the heart-level. And now they are healing the heartbeat of their families and you can too!
