Blessings and it is alwasy good to see how what I write helps readers think, pray, and respond to God’s nudges.

Within the last month or so I fired my attorney. OR it could be I have asked several people to pray for me/us.
I’m not sure I’m completely over it but has been much better living with myself without waking up with ill thoughts running threw my mind.
God bless you Mary and keep up the wonderful writing.
I truly believe you’ve helped more people than you’re aware of.
With love,

I think we often need those step by step reminders/assists to help us through tough spots. This was beautifully explained. God’s blessings were in your words.

This was amazing and an eye opener for me. The concept of firing the attorney in my head was powerful. The hurt done to me ( in childhood), I felt and continue to think is my fault. I continue to blame myself to this day. Which is absurd because I was a child! I still heat the prosecutor saying in my mind ” if only you were better, if only you were good…”. The person I resent and struggle with most is me. I forgive others easily because I feel whatever happened or happens to me, I deserve. I know how to better direct my prayers.
