Vision Statements By Women's House Residents

I'm impressed by the strength and resilience of the residents of
the Gemeinschaft Home Women's House, where I have been
serving as a counselor and group leader two afternoons a week.

The following vision statements are by some of the current residents of the Women's House in Harrisonburg, posted with their permission:

I will maintain control over my life as I grow, evolve and adapt in an ever changing world. I will continue to choose wisely who I want to surround myself with as time goes on. I will stay positive and sober and continually search for happiness and to nurture good relationships.  

- Bridget Snider

I will continue to grow and become a better woman and mother, and to be able to be stable and to provide for my child.   

- Brittany Hammer

I will be a more confident and better woman, mother and wife. I will become ever more kind, helpful, generous, thoughtful and caring, will lead a simple, happy life with my husband and will succeed in my recovery.

- Dana Lawson

My personal vision is to lead the kind of humble, devoted life I am called to, and to surrender my whole-hearted self to God and to live my life for Him, not only with my words but from my heart. I will live in this moment and push forward to my future, without giving power to my past. I will accept and live by the truth that God has a great story for me and that I am created for a much higher purpose in life. I will live every day without hatred, guilt or negativity in my heart, allowing pure compassion for myself and others to dwell in me.  

- Jenna Liller

My vision is to remain totally sober and to rebuild my relationship with my children and with other family members. I will live a comfortable, happy life with my partner and children and not worry about basic necessities such as keeping a home, car, food, etc. We will just live our best lives, with every day full of unconditional pure love and happiness!
