New Beginning counseling ministry

We were endowed with both memory and imagination, but it's regrettable that many individuals misuse these gifts. Reflect on past accomplishments and work to enhance them, while learning from past mistakes and making amends. Envision a future that aligns with God's plan and strive to become a more complete version of yourself.

The trauma Cain and Abel experienced was the failure of their parents. That trauma is pasted on generation after generation.

John 10:10
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [a]overflows).

Marriage is part of the fullness of life Jesus came to give us. The minute you start to live in that garden of marriage the devil will come to steal it, kill it and destroy it.
He uses deception, your spouse is the problem! He brings others that are very cunning and willing to destroy it.
It is our job, it's our obligation to protect it everyday by knowing the tactics of the enemy. We don't fight against flesh and blood but against the unseen evil forces of this world.
If and when you find that person God wants you to be with for life the devil targets you both. It's not if he will come, it's when will and how will he come to destroy you both.
Be aware, both of you, be aware. They will come wearing a smile. Stay united, stay committed to fight the battle together. Don't let the devil twist things around so you turn on each other. Lock arms and heart and fight to keep what God gave you!
In 38 years of marriage we have had to fight hard at times to save what God gave us. Learn to fight!

In our most challenging moments, we shift our focus to the abundance of God's presence, drawing strength from His unwavering guidance. Let us celebrate the blessings that surround us even in the eye of the storm, fostering a mindset of gratitude and hope.

3 today!

Today, I celebrate three years of embarking on an incredible journey of development and growth, guided by God's grace and mercy.
It's incredible to reflect back and see how God has given me strength, support, and His constant presence. He has done things I would of never thought about asking for. Things I didn't even know was an option.
Some people are wired to succeed as a lead person in business, I am not one of those people. I have also been the support guy, the come along side and help kinda person.
It wasn't until 3 years ago that God pushed me onto a path where He was going to help me become one that can lead. Wow, it's been a heck of a journey. Pressure and responsibility I haven't experienced before but He keeps me going, learning and growing.
I hope this for everyone, that God brings you to discover what He has instilled in you.
I don't advertise, I don't ask for donations, God has provided all I need up to this point. I have to say I truly don't understand it all. Just do what I think He has asked me to do.
God, my gratitude is beyond words! Life doesn't exist without you!
Donna, you are that woman who could take on the crashing waves of this crazy journey and the unstableness of this man over the last 3 plus years. You are my rock!
Brett, Shannon, Ricky, MaryAnn and James, you guys have chosen to support me in the things I just can't do and with your time, energy and words of encouragement. God knew I would need each of you. I am blessed. I love you guys!
To all the ones who trust God to work though me to help you. Thank you for the opportunity to be used. I will always work hard to learn more and do better!

And to all that are thinking about getting out of the boat and onto the water, if He is calling you then He will do what He has done for me...the unbelievable!!

If I can ask one thing, if, in any way, you have benefited by counseling with me or being in a group with me, would you write a Google review. I would sincerely appreciate it!

Don't judge yourself or someone else by your achievements but by what you overcome. The things that try to keep you limited. It's the love God has for us that empowers us to fight through the difficult times, coming out a better, stronger and wiser person.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You are about to embark on a great crusade!
The task is not a easy one and the enemy is well trained.
We not accept anything but success!!
The New Beginning!

Embracing a new beginning means giving yourself permission to welcome positive changes that will bring growth and happiness into your life. It signifies your ability to acknowledge past mistakes, learn from them, and utilize that knowledge to build a ladder to success for your future self.
