This is our 10th annual fall fundraiser and if there's anything we've learned in the past 10 years, it's that our community has a heart for survivors of human trafficking. Together we raised $158,000 for survivors in 2020, so this year we are raising the bar. Our goal is to raise $200,000! These funds will allow us to reach, serve and house more survivors We hope to see you there!

Monday Thoughts 8/30/2021

Forward to a Friend “To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow, this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.”  ~~Elizabeth Gilbert “Love is always bestowed as a gift—freely, willingly and without expectation.  We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.”  ~~Leo Buscaglia “You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing.  You don’t have to do anything to earn it.  Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success—none of that matters.  No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.”  ~~Ram Dass  #10 All love given returns. I am learning to know that I am loved. Statement #10, the second of the “Love Statements” can feel uncomfortable to practice at first but understanding that I was deserving of love for simply existing opened up a whole new way to live.  Before sobriety and recovery, I was under the assumption that love needed to be earned…. from family and even friends.  This created a seemingly never-ending cycle of “receipt chaos” in my mind (why, who needed payback and when).  Turning to alcohol for relief, I simply shut down and love was lost. Our founder, Jean Kirkpatrick, PhD, put some missing puzzle pieces together and brought the WFS New Life Program to life.  Built with exploration and insight, every woman who embraces the 13 Statements today receives love directly from Jean.  That love continues on through each of us, weaving together a strong and vibrant tapestry that continues to flow outward. Loving without expectation creates a portal for life to simply be and releases a need for receipts.  Relationships and experiences begin to feel genuine and authentic, while cementing healthy self-awareness.  Love is a powerful force and like our WFS Program booklet states “Love is the wellspring of a New Life.” Hugzzz Karen Hi 4C Women, I relate to what Karen has shared.  I have found that giving love was always easier than accepting that I was loved just for being me.   I belittled myself over and over again to prove I was lovable.  I found myself making choices that only validated my feelings of unworthiness, feeling invisible.  Thank goodness for therapy and the WFS New Life Statements.  I read an article a while back that touched my heart and expressed clearly what I have learned from rejection from others and even rejecting myself as a lovable person.  It starts with “Remember this” – Remember this when you are in familiar territory and someone new walks up looking for guidance Remember this when you see someone on the outskirts anxiously holding her own hand Remember this when someone approaches you and asks a question – see the bravery behind the words Remember this when you see someone stop trying – perhaps she’s been rejected one too many times Remember this when you see someone being excluded or alienated – just one friendly person can relieve the painful sense of feeling invisible. Remember the deepest desire of the human heart is to belong…to be welcomed…to know you are seen and worthy of kindness. These are the lessons I learned in WFS, how becoming a 4C woman could change my life and others who want to be accepted, cared about, listened to and knowing they belong just as they are.  As you go through the week, think about how you welcome people into your life based on the “Remember this” comments above.  I do know that WFS was and is a place of acceptance and it was how I learned to love myself and know, while challenging at times, that others love me just for being me!  Bonded in giving love and receiving love for who you are at this very moment, Dee Shape the future of WFS!

AUGUST 2021 BAPTISM  "The like figure where unto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 3:21 The LCC wants to congratulate our three alumni for dedicating their life to Jesus! We watched as they let go of their past and made steps for a brighter and better future! They overcame tough obstacles that tested their faith and came out victorious. Our hearts rejoice with the heavens above because they have received the truest freedom and made the best decision. May they only look forward from this day and never turn back to their old ways. When the hard times come, may they lean on the one who has all the strength and comfort, Jesus.

ANSWERED PRAYERS “Oh how long we have prayed and waited for this moment! We see how God has turned Christina‘s life around and gave her new desires and goals and most importantly a new heart that belongs to Him. It was beautiful to see her dedicate her life to the Lord. There is no greater joy on earth than to witness the dead come to life and the bound set free!” - Family Member "It is impossible to estimate the power of a praying mother's influence. She acknowledges God in all her ways. She takes her children before the throne of grace and presents them to Jesus, pleading for His blessing upon them..." - Ellen White This is for all the parents or family members that are praying over their loved one, DO NOT give up!!! God has a plan and He is never too late! Sometimes it is very hard for us to understand His ways, but His ways are the best ways. We want to encourage you all to keep praying and calling upon His name and grace. There are many testimonies that prove that a prayer can go a long way. Stay persistent.  Where do good morals come from? Where do we learn about good character traits? How do we control our actions? How do we know what is good from evil?   Answer: THE BIBLE Our LCC program uses the Bible as its foundation. The Bible is the truth and the words written in there never changes. The students have Bible studies, prayers and worship every day as part of their daily schedule. This has been very beneficial for their growth, not only spiritually, but also in their everyday decisions and self discipline.   TESTIMONY "I'm grateful to God that He has saved me in my trespasses and today I can rejoice in His love that He has for me and my family. He has reunited me with them and now I can be the priest in my household and a husband to my wife. The Lord has restored me to the man that I am supposed to be for them and He has given me all that I have lost. He also gave me the opportunity to serve Him and help other who are lost as I once was." -LCC Alumni MULTI CULTURAL CUISINE The women's center had a yummy opportunity to learn how to bake macarons. We are blessed with amazing experienced bakers and chefs who volunteer their time to come to the facility and teach the students new home skills!  A transformational journey through drug and alcohol addiction.
