Testimonials
From a person experiencing physical and sexual abuse as a child...
"For nearly ten years I had seen various counselors and psychologists hoping to find freedom from my troubled past. Having experienced years of abuse as a child and not finding the healing I longed for, I was beginning to lose hope. I often considered suicide. I came to Life Center with very little expectation. I was certain Carole would be just another counselor who couldn't help me.
After a few sessions, my eyes were open to my true identity in Christ. After a few months of weekly sessions, I experienced the healing I once thought impossible. I am attending classes offered at Life Center which not only aid in renewing my mind but also point me to the truth of Christ as my Life."
From a person seeking truth about himself...
"When I first started seeing Carole my life was fiercely distressed with deep issues and pain. Her faith and commitment to God and His Word working in and through her were what helped me through my dark days.
Through the prayers and wisdom God used Carole to help guide me through to the peaceful shore of truly trusting in Christ. Now, I can surely say that I understand the foundational truth - that I am in Christ, and Christ is in me. God, my heavenly Father and Christ, my Savior are life and light to me."
From a person struggling with grief and fear...
"My life is so much better since coming to Life Center. Now I'm doing more than I ever did before because my fear is gone. I left the grieving behind and it has been wonderful. I truly am a at a place in my life that I was afraid I could never reach. Thank you for all of your patience, caring, and time. Jesus has really healed me."
From a person who wanted to escape from the pressures of life...
"Before coming to Life Center I was very angry and miserable as well as frustrated with my marriage and life. I wanted to run away from everything and leave my husband and problems. I hated my life and the direction it was heading. I looked at the hurts and anger from my past and as Carole spoke truth to me, I turned to Christ Jesus.
It was brought to the surface (that I carried for 11 years) intense guilt in my life regarding my son's learning disabilities. But God exchanged that lie with His truth that it is not my fault and that God has a plan for my son's life. God did a work in me through this situation.
I also had a very distorted image of what a loving father is, so how could my "Father God" really love me? I believed I was stupid, unworthy, unlikable, and too shy. Again, more lies I believed but God exchanged them with His truth.
I now realize that God was with me during all those ugly hurtful times in the past. He was holding me in His arms and saying "I Love you". What a comfort that is to me!
I'm so thankful for Carole and her sweet, kind, and gentle spirit. I know that if Carole would have been abrupt, frustrated, irritable, or even a little bit tense with me in anyway, with all my insecurities, I would have been deeply hurt, left Life Center never to return. I would only been left to remain angry and miserable. I praise God for Carole, for Life Center, and for the freedom I experienced. I can now love my husband through Christ's love in me. When things trigger me in life and I get upset, I can get away with my Father God and receive healing in my life as I rest in Christ Jesus. It is still a moment-by-moment walk but I'm learning to let the Lord carry my anger. I am learning to run to my Father God. I know that I am accepted and loved by Him. I am worthy in His sight and He is pleased with me. I am His child!"
From a person not feeling loved and accepted...
"Although I loved God and desired to know Him, I was afraid that He did not accept me because I was not good enough, not holy enough.
Life Center helped me to see that God loves me as I am and walks right beside me. I have finally found the acceptance and identity I've craved as I see that God loves me unconditionally and calls me His beloved child. For the first time in my life, I am walking in love and peace, feeling God's embrace."
From a person experiencing anger and feeling like a failure...
"Why was my marriage falling apart? I felt like a failure and that I had let God down. It seemed the harder I tried to be a good Christian the more frustrated I became! Sometimes I exploded in angry outbursts which I couldn't seem to control.
Since coming to Life Center, I've made the discovery of how Christ desires to live through me. What it required from me was the surrender of my 'self' to Jesus Christ. I had heard the words 'the truth will set you free' but up until then I had not experienced that freedom. Now I have been free from my anger! My wife and children can also testify to the change in me. Jesus is now truly the Lord and faithful Savior I serve."
