Alece, we’re so proud of you for making the sacrifice to keep yourself and your marriage heading in the right direction. The fact that you’re willing to do that says so much about you.

Lisa and I will be joining you (well, not actually joining you there) with a week of counseling ourselves in January.

We’re continuing to keep you in prayer. God is going to use this time to do some amazing things in your life and marriage.

i can’t believe that you are THAT OCD that you actually COUNTED all 13 steps to the inside of their office!?? :-)

I’ve read your post on your OCD (it was one of the first i ever read of yours and here i am still – a year on ! ) and you are WAY overdue for counselling in MY opinion! ;-)

I bet your not even going to bring it up with them though – are you?

Tch! – i thought not.

If it really is the Thought that counts in this life.. then i think you’ll come through this an even better, wiser and ‘fuller’ human (loving) being than you were before you went ‘in’…

…and that would take some doing, believe me!

Please don’t forget one thing for me though…?

We all have Access to the Greatest Counsellor who knows us better than does anyone else – knows what is truly in our hearts. We owe it to Him to be honest enough to see what He sees in us.

All the Good – and all the bad! Accept that and move on to doing just a little ‘bettter each day – if we are able. Accepting that some days it is going to be easier to do that than at others.

He loves and forgives you – so should you! :-)

Hi. I’m Louise. I’m a pastor’s wife. I’ve been through patches of counseling. It made a huge difference to who I allow to be the voice in my head.

And underneath are the wonderful, comforting everlasting arms of our loving Father.
