My life was just utterly miserable, and it finally took my husband to up and leave me before I could finally see the truth and the light of my reality. It's been two years since I've seen him and a year since I spoke to him. The last words he spoke to me were "I want you well, I want you healed and I want you in a program."

I didn't know anything about Shepherd's Door and even what the program consisted of. I had no idea. But you know God knew where he wanted me and really it took my conscious will to cry out to God and say I wanted help. Not only do I want it but I need it. He's really changed my outlook on things on a whole different level and I'm grateful for that. When I let go, He takes over. And you know what... it's a much better ride.

Today I love me. Loving myself with the love of God, the Lord shows me and tells me everyday that if I choose life and I speak it, He will pour more into me. With that love that He pours into me, that life and the light, I know now I have a future. I love who I'm becoming. I have been here less than a year and I know that I have a ways to go, still but I also know God is working it out.
