Hi, Friends.

It's been a long uphill road to recovery--mostly good but many bumps since we both made career changes since my A (we've been in recovery 3 years now!)

We have this unique and wonderful blessing at the moment--we are living in a neat old country home and for rent, we repair a room in the house. It's been a huge help financially. Of course, it's a temporary arrangement.

I just had my first book published but haven't really been able to focus to write since it came out. I'm also looking for work.

My H is a pastor at heart but currently pastoring p/t on a volunteer basis. I used to pastor with him but chose to step down after my A.

God has brought incredible healing into our lives. But now it seems we are waiting for clear direction from Him regarding His will for us next.

We know we will minister to other couples in the future but don't feel it's time just yet.

Please pray that God will open the right doors and we will not miss walking through obediently. Waiting is so hard!

You are in my prayers, too. Blessings to you and I hope your weekend is one of peace and joy in the Father's love--I can't imagine life without Him and thank Him so much for His gift of forgiveness that makes life worth the living!

FS,

It's so good to "hear" from you!!!

So good to hear you are absolutely, solidly in the Father's Hand right now, too!

I will certainly be praying for you!!!! In fact, why not right now?!?!

Dear Heavenly Father,
Freshstart and her H desire to do Your Will and Work, Lord. Continue to bless them in their recovery, and guide their every step. Bless her book, Father with an abundance of sales, so much so, that ANOTHER ORDER of books is needed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Lord Jesus, you make all things new, and we KNOW you are preparing Freshstart and H for something NEW and EXCITING!!

Keep the enemy away from their door, Father, and keep them focused on YOU. Lord Jesus, I thank you for FS's friendship with me, and I humbly ask you to bless my friend and her family. Lord, we love you and bless you in the mighty and beautiful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus. Amen
