Meet The Founder
Hello, My name is Christie Fernandez. I am the founder for Renewing Hearts For Women.
It is my heart's desire to offer a christian ministry/support group for women who are struggling with eating disorders, abuse, and sexual assault. I have walked this path for many years. I understand your fears,distrust,anxieties, and daily battles with food.
With God's help and his amazing grace along with wonderful christian counseling I have been in recovery from anorexia/bulimia for twenty years. I was sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused as early as I can remember. I have been betrayed, divorced, homeless, and widowed. Pain is no stranger to me.
Before I accepted Christ I was scared, lonely, ashamed, wounded, frustrated, angry and embarassed about my past. I had no idea about where I was going in my life much less how to deal with it. On June 7,1993 I accepted Jesus . My life began to change immediately. God began to deal with me about my past and my present. I can honestly say that if not for God I would not be here today. I have a new heart and a new purpose. My life has not always been easy since I accepted Christ. No one is guaranteed a rose garden continually.
But with pain there is growth. Some of the greatest lessons that I have learned came from the trials I endured. When you walk with God on a daily basis you have all you will ever need. He will give you the strength, the courage and the wisdom to deal with whatever happens. My prayer is that you will discover God's love and his purpose for your life as you participate in the group meeting. I look forward to being a part of your journey as you renew you hearts.
