Relationships are not easy. Whether it’s trying to begin, continue, or end a relationship with an individual or multiple people, the process is challenging. Sometimes the relationship is worthy of celebrating. Sometimes it is one to nurture. But sometimes there are relationships that you are faced with ending, by your choice or necessity. Regardless of the scenario, relationships are an integral part of our existence. Whether it’s a relationship with Jesus Christ or another individual, it needs the opportunity to grow and develop through time, attention, and communication. Some people experience Christ in their lives in a definitive manner. Others are searching for this type of experience. Still others have opted to bypass a relationship with Christ for one of their own choosing. Wherever you are, if you are stuck and want to move forward beyond present concerns, lingering problems, or an unhealthy past, Priscilla is here to partner with you in helping you find resolution. She is warm, nurturing, empathetic, and actively in pursuit of drawing close in her relationship with Jesus Christ. Call, email, or text, and she will be glad to meet with you to see if it is a good fit.
