Community service for two ViaCordis participants involves teaching Anger Management at a women's recovery house. Here's what some said after the completion of a recent class.
-"I've been able to better pinpoint what is a major trigger for me, where my anger stems. I am not isolating as much anymore."
-"I can express anger without physical contact."
- "It has helped me understand others' anger and through that I understand myself more. The changes I've seen for myself are patience and understanding."
-"This class pointed out areas and issues I never knew were anger-based. It was spiritually directed through Scripture."
-"It helped me step back and take a moment to get my thoughts together so I can react properly. I've calmly addressed my issues when necessary. It helped a lot knowing God gave us anger as a defense mechanism - it's all in how we express it appropriately."
-"The instructor really got involved with each of us individually and as a group. We not only did the book work but also used everyday situations as examples and talked about how we walked through each situation, i.e. what we could have done differently."
Praise God for the work of his Spirit in softening hearts and opening minds to a better way to live.
