Hi, I'm Connie, and this is my husband Sheldon. We have been married since 1994. Today, we live a blessed life. But it wasn't always this way.
We have both had our share of struggles, both experiencing trauma as children. Our marriage started off rocky (to say the least). In the midst of my own personal hurt and trauma, I prayed he'd die (awful, I know!). I am so glad that God does not answer all of our prayers.
Today, we are blessed and continue to push through obstacles to live the good life that we know God wants for us.
Rejection seemed to be a part of my fabric. From being an ADHD kid to a troubled teenager - teen pregnancy to an interracial marriage in a religious community - infidelity, job loss, health issues - and that's just the beginning.
We have a story to tell, but the biggest take-away is that God has blessed us in abundance because we continued to seek the love of our Father, God.
He can do the same for you. There is NOTHING God can't heal.
The Phoebe Project is here to give you the tools and encouragement you need.
Love,
Meant for more!
HEALING THE REJECTED HEART
Rejection, for whatever reason, can affect every area of our being.
-
A job loss
-
The loss of a friend
-
The loss of a partner
-
The loss of a friend group
-
Being misunderstood again and again
Whatever it is...
it's not OK.
Proverbs 15:13: "A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed."
Many people carry heart wounds related to rejection, regret, broken relationships, or past mistakes.
Over time those experiences can create false beliefs like:
-
“I’m not enough.”
-
“I’m too much.”
-
“I’m a burden.”
-
“There is no hope in sight.”
-
"There must be something wrong with me."
-
"I'm better off in isolation."
But those beliefs are not God's truth.
How do we get God's truth from our head to our heart, so we can live at your fullest potential?
Healing a crushed spirit begins when we allow God to gently and lovingly step into those deep places to replace the lies with His Loving Truth.
HE LOVES
YOU!
The relationships we have with our dads, father-figures, moms, mother-figures, siblings and friends shape our relationship with God.
In the Daddy's Little Girl Mini-Course we will focus on the relationship we have had with our dads. We will uncover lies we learned to believe as children, that we've taken into adulthood. And learn to replace those lies with our Father-God's loving truth.

Did you know that you are a warrior?
Years ago, God brought Phoebe to my attention (Romans 16:1-2). She was a deacon in the church. She was a messenger. She was an assistant and encourager to the Apostle Paul. She supported him both emotionally and financially. She was a warrior in her own right.
I believe God has a plan for you, just as amazing as the plan He had for Phoebe. You are a warrior!
Maybe you had a dream, a vision, a passion, but because of some challenges along the way, you think you are not qualified. We are here to say GOD QUALIFIES YOU!
