One woman in her ‘60’s shared this story: When her mother was pregnant with her, her mother got really big.  Her father told her and over when she was growing up that she was not his daughter - she was actually not a person, but a ghost.  She’s very thankful that she came to Shine today because she now understands that God created her and sees that she has worth and value even though her earthly father never recognized that.

“I didn’t really want to come because I hear the Bible taught every Sunday at church.  But this was different - it’s not like other training sessions I’ve been to.”  “It was like we were just sharing with each other, and not at training.”

"I’ve always compared myself to others and I thought that was just normal, but now I realize that it’s not normal.  I’ve realized how important it is to look at God more than other people. "
"Two housewives shared the same sentiment: they chose silence, not speaking or retaliating, because they felt it created a positive atmosphere around them. They believed this was the best way to coexist with others. However, when learning about emotions, they revealed that outwardly everything seemed fine and resolved, but inwardly they were burning with feelings of injustice and pain. They endured it, but today they know a solution: praying and pouring out their hearts to God. They express themselves openly, without concealment, because God knows everything even if they don't speak. They also memorize Bible verses to remind themselves when battling negative feelings in life."

"I learned that I can decide how to respond to various situations.  I can decide whether or not to compare myself to others or not.  I learned the pros and cons of comparing myself to others.  I have worth and value, so there’s really no point  in comparing myself to others.”

"One woman shared that she has had a migraine headache almost every day for the last few months.  She went to the doctor and he said it was from stress and that she needs to start controlling what she thinks about. That advice just depressed her even more because she didn’t think it was possible to follow that advice.  She thought there was just no way to do that.  But after coming to the Shine workshop today, she now understands that she can control her thoughts and she now realizes what an impact her thought life has on her physical health.  She never understood the connection before.  She also now realizes that she’s not alone in these struggles and that with God’s help she can start to work on her level of stress."
