About Living Waters
Many of us have a back log of unfaced or unresolved issues, probably from our family of origin that are still affecting us now.
We can find ourselves meeting our God-given needs for intimacy and belonging in ways we know to be unhelpful or sinful. Our only option may be to suffer in silence - unable to control or even own our struggle. Shame and fear of rejection can mean we withdraw into fantasy or isolation - even into a double life just keeping up appearances.
