ang I am so absolutely delighted to see you beginning the counseling program. As I mentioned to you before, this program will help you sis in so many ways. It will help you in your relationship with God, yourself, and also in dealing with your husband. You've been through so much sis, and you so deserve some healing and peace. I'm excited for you. I will be here with you every step of the way. Just be very open and let the studies help guide your steps in the Lord.

Can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for you

Ang,

Welcome to the course. I am almost done with the course, and you know I found enjoyment every day of going back to see what the next step was. Friends of mine told me that I needed to go to counseling, and I did, but it didn't cost me a dime. God is our number one counselor, we just have to lay it all out there for him. Talk to him like you are talking to your best friend on the phone. I used to always think that if you didn't pray a certain way, your prayers weren't going to be answered, but that just isn't true. God wants us to put him first and come to him with all of our problems. If you read back through each one of my days you will see that even though I was on this course, God would throw things my way to see how I would react. Well I fell down, and when I finally went to him I was given an answer. Now some things aren't going to come to you immediately, like the answer about your husband. That answer might take a while, because you need to get focused on God and while you are doing that pray for him too. Pray that he will get closer to God, because your relationship needs to have God in it. Don't beat yourself up for decisions that you have made in your past, God will forgive you when you ask.

You are doing a wonderful thing for yourself and for your daughter by starting this program, and remember that we are all here for you as well. Also, remember you are a beautiful person, because as my 9 year old would say "God didn't make any ugly people". I have also struggled with my weight, but I know I am beautiful and I work out to be healthy because we are to take care of our bodies. Losing weight will bring you temporary happiness, but putting God first will bring you an eternity of happiness. God bless you!
