I need someone to sponsor my daugher and myself for the New Life weekend in Philadelphia.

I have had weight issues for a long time and have wanted to attend but never be able financially.

Over the last year my teeenage daughter has suffered with physical issues, miagraine headaches and stomach aches. Her school and her dad did not believe her. (We've been divorced 13 years). So all that adds to an emotional component, (anger, depression ...). She has gotten better with her headaches and depression but she is stuck. She won't go to anymore therapists. I think the new life weekend would be a great help.

God Bless,

Gwen

Girl, you are amazing!!! You have fought through the hardest part of this recovery... taking the first steps toward forgiving yourself!!! Keep telling satan to get out of your way, because you have work, God's work, that needs to get done!!!
The New Life weekend was better than words could ever describe! I wish everyone suffering through the pain associated with post-abortion trauma could experience the freedom of God's grace which we began to experience at the New Life weekend.

God Bless You!

I just came back from my second Women of Faith weekend, and it was so needed.I knew i had been broken for awhile but didn't really realize how bad till I got home.I really have no one to talk to. No friends really get me and my husband is just there for me. He is a wonderful man,he just doesn't understand when i tell him nor does he see that I am depressed and hurting. Thanks for the ability to speak out.God loves me I just don't know how to let him in. Leslie

Many things, and offenses are in the way. I know you can help me to see the light and forgiveness....I would like a sponsor....I haven't been able to do this myself.
I intellectually know that I should be able to handle all the hurts....but somehow I continuie to return to the helpless and hopeless state that I have not been able to climb out of.....I ask for that love that can help all....the all-inclusive grace that You can extend.
I fully realize that this is difficult times....and, in fact, I am not working as a Montessori Teacher right now....I am sure that the 23 years I have given to the children of the Lord will be returned....How I don't know...but it will return.
I have not have peace, except in alcohol, for a long time. I do not drink every night,
but just enough to be absent in the pain. Please Lord, give me a sponsor/or helper to attend the weekend that I so dearly need. Only through YOU!

My story is probably not uncommon, at least parts of it. I was divorced in 1987 after 15 years of marriage and 6 children. My husband was unfaithful to me and sexually abused my children. I was very bitter for him ruining my life. There have been many struggles with my children, but none got into drugs or teen pregnancy. As time went on four have gotten married and all are gone, all but one moving out of state. The lonliness was overwhelming so I got into dancing -- western, line, square and finally ballroom, which I totally loved. Unfortunately I started dancing with and non-christian, which, over a five year period developed into a sexual relationship, which caused a love-hate relationship. I knew it would haave to end but , being my whole social world, and being loved, cherished , cared for, I kept trying to get it back to friendshop level but I couldnt. with much prayer asking for God's help, I believe He did it but it has left me an emotional mess, feeling so alone, with a fear of the future, trying to trust God in doing the right thing. On top of that my friend chose to get upset with me and back away from a dance weekend we had planned that would have been the height of my dancing . He told me he wasnt sure he wanted to go with this "cloud" hanging over us, and then decided to ask a former partner to go with him instead. Even though we knew we could never resolve the faith differences (His -- new age eastern) and we had talked many times about how we would move on to other, I never thought he would be so insensitive to me. He proclaims I have been the only one he has ever loved and then throws me aside when he knew my overwhelming excitement in this weekend. And it was my birthday as well. Then I hear from friend what a totally spectacular weekend it was. I am so depressed, cant sleep, mind is going a mile a minute of all we did in the five years we were together. i so desperately want to trust God, but I feel so desperately alone. I had cut off so many of my friends to be with him and my dance friends. Now that is all gone. He can go on and dance, there are always single women in our dance world, but not men. I dont know if your weekend can help. And I cant get off on Friday until 2pm. I have a little savings, since I am single and have spent so much raising my kids. I need to know that if I can get the money that it will really get me thru this.
Help
Joyce
