Listen to my story. It was the story that changed my path. I am no longer the same; I am a mother with pain in my heart, but a daughter of God with enough strength to tell you that Jesus does not abandon you in your pain; it is when He holds you in His arms. -Jackeline Tovar

Session 5

I am loved! 
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10


Session 6
 Agents of transformation

We invite a friend or counselor to be present with each mom.
 How do I ask for help?
When we both have the same goal of growing, of being transformed, that is when we both experience changes in our lives. When one side stops transforming, we cannot reciprocate with the other, and the process of affiliating with each other stops. Together with our friend, we will be reflecting on this passage and what it represents for us now in the current day,
 Luke 10:25-37 Testimony: Author Anabelle Lugo Santiano

Session 7 
Meet Jesus! 
Example of our craft activity: After meditating on God's love and creating your image on the canvas, write words that describe how God created you—not words others have said about you, but words supported by biblical scripture. These aren't labels others have given you, good or bad; these are the names God calls you.
