“How can I be healed from the victim mentality?"
Austin Gardner • November 8, 2022
This is a subtitle for your new post
You can be healed through the power of the Lord. It will take time, but healing can occur through a positive process in which you will experience spiritual growth. (Jeremiah 17:14)
Healing does not come instantaneously, but is a process that includes the following steps:
- Accept that pain is a part of this life, common to everyone, and you are one among many victims. (John 16:33).
- Begin to
see your life from God’s perspective—He is in control and wants to bless you and conform you to the image of His Son, Jesus. (Ephesians 4:22–24).
- Seek appropriate help from those whom you trust—those who are spiritually and emotionally mature and skilled enough to help you. (Proverbs 10:17).
- Learn to relax and allow yourself time to meaningfully connect with God and other significant persons.(Philippians 4:6; Hebrews 10:25).
- Believe in and trust in the promises of God’s Word. Allow His Word to “reprogram” your thought processes so that you will be able to replace the lies of your past with His eternal truth. (Colossians 3:10–14).

We need policies and control mechanisms but must learn not to rely on them exclusively. They undermine the very essence of a thriving workplace.

Starting in Mexico and continuing till today
Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.
In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary. Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
