I attended the New Life Weekend in Dallas and have to say that it was one of the biggest blessings in my life. The tools, love, friendships, and healing that I received at the weekend were amazing. During the last several years my world seemed to unravel for a number of reasons (like the roof falling in metaphorically) but one big reason was because I was a peoplepleaser who had just had it and as a result I begin to just not take it anything any more. I had never set appropriate boundaries in my life and was taken advantage of whether or not the individuals in my life doing this realized it.

One of the biggest situations in my life related to some marriage issues in which I was being deceived to the point that I felt I had to get out of the marriage. In essence, I used divorce as a final boundary because I really did not know what to do (even though I suspected that divorce was too drastic of a boundary).

I so wished that I had experienced this much earlier in my life so I could have set boundaries early on so some of the things in my recent life history did not have to occur. After the recent years I also had to deal with the guilt of feeling that maybe I should not have divorced, etc. I could not forgive myself and became stuck.

The weekend allowed me to gain a heart knowledge as well as a head knowledge that God can and will love me and nothing can separate me from Him. I always knew this in my head but never could accept this in my heart until this weekend. I am now at peace truly knowing that God is in control. I finally learned to just Stop It and quit trying to pick up my mistakes and surrender them completely to God.

Thank you so much to my group and counselor - Bob Good!

As a side note, I'm not sure what the future brings for a rekindling of my marriage or not but I'm ok giving the situation over to God. However, I do know of a man, my ex-spouse, who could benefit tremendously if anyone would be willing to help him attend one of these weekends. He truly does not have the funds to go. Again, I was in Bob Good's group and he should be able to provide my information to anyone who may be led to bless this man as I have been blessed.

God Bless to all who have supported this ministry!
