thank you butterfly!!!!!!

[DLL]

thank you for your pm. i am just getting it now. the holidays have been real busy and the phone lines have been down in our area.:eek:

i am doing better now than i have in a long time. :) i have really been working on recovery and counseling and i feel like i can actually "love" people again. i can look back and see how far God's grace has brought me. i read alot, have homework, and spend alot of time now with my support group. all thanks to you guys and this forum for helping me to see that I NEEDED PROFESSIONAL HELP. i wouldnt be here today w/o it. i think about this forum and the friends i made here alot but also realize that coming here does trigger me somewhat so i only check in occassionally to just see the old names not really to read the posts.
who could imagine that the spiritual abuse that is talked about here could do this kind of damage to this extent ! but it has broadened my perspective into hurting people that Jesus died for. i try to examine :confused: MY every motive and leave the judging to God. i still dont attend church, but my heart is drawing me there, so that is my new years resolution.....to go to a God-Loving church and serve, in any way i can....even if that is only by being there. thank you for asking, butterfly!! and i hope everything is going good for you and you all. tell robert i worry abouit him on the west coast there. i will be around. love, grace, thanks ,and above all, PEACE to you all on your journey. may GOD be with you on YOUR road to HIM.

:) [[[DLL]]] I am so glad to hear you are doing much better.:)
I think of you and I know you do peek in when you have the chance. You sure come a long way since you joined.
I miss your post but I do understand about not being able to be here.
I am pleased you have recived help from us. This forum is a blessing from God.
I sent out a letter to my ex christian friend. The forum family helped me get brave enough.:)
I do miss our friendship as it used to be before she SA me with her legealstic views.I feel just like she died. Christmas was sad for me cause we would do things toghter. I didn"t recive a card from her daughter which I thought I would.:( :( :( :(
I told the friend that I couldn"t handel her judging. That I loved her But I just couldn"t bear to hear one more judgement from her.
I told her what she had done and that I knew in my heart that Jesus would not treat people the way she treated me.
Since she started a new church she has changed.
Well thanks for posting and telling how you are.:D Happy New Year May THere Be Healing In Your Life Donna. butterfly
