Guest guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 This past 4 days, it was my privilege to minister to women at a local prison. It was amazing to see the transformation of the prisoners as they were ministered to. During this, I realized quite a few things that I hope to use as learning experiences. Many of these are spiritually based and I am choosing not to discuss this on this forum as this is not the appropriate place. I also did alot of processing that I believe are related to ACT topics. (to add to this to my, one of the speakers briefly mentioned CBT!) As I was standing in the prison on the last morning, looking out the bars on the window, I realized that I have spend most of my life creating my own prison in the outside world. I have allowed my life circumstances to affect how I view myself, the world, others and my worth. I also realize that I have made significant progress in these areas and in this I rejoice. The most important value to me is my faith and when I engage in this while helping others, the lies I have been telling myself that have built up these prison walls start to be torn down and I do things that I never would have thought I had the confidence to do. Values + committed action = joy! Blessings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
