Hi, my name is Kristal. I’m a faithful servant and believer in Jesus Christ who has struggled with sexual brokenness, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, domestic violence, low self-esteem, anger, resentment, insecurities, fear of abandonment, PTSD , depression that lead to suicidal thoughts/attempts, childhood sexual abuse, codependency, trust issues, betrayal, and recently, divorce.

Sounds like a lot right? I didn’t know how to process or deal with all of the different things I had experienced in life. I often felt hopeless, as if I could never recover from all of the trauma I had experienced. 

Then I found Celebrate Recovery. I worked all of the steps and was surrounded by a community of people that loved me, embraced me, and didn’t judge me. They celebrated my small victories and loved me right where I was. They didn’t allow me to stay stuck. They saw the greatness that was within me. I partnered with Jesus Christ for healing and my life began to change. 

I couldn’t thank this program enough for all that it’s done for me and my family. I’ve learned to truly forgive myself and others. I learned to let go of shame and fear and push through no matter what comes my way. All of those things held me hostage... but forgiveness paid my ransom. I am greater than my fears and I have come this far by faith.
