A couple of months ago, we completed a psychological assessment required by AIM before coming on as staff. It revealed a few minor issues we needed to work on before leaving for the mission field. Since then, Frank and I have both been undergoing counseling. To say it’s helped me tremendously is an understatement. I’ve had a hard time most of my life accepting God’s love freely, and my therapist is helping me see why this is so.

For the first time, I am experiencing “good days.” Days that are not dependent on circumstances to feel good about myself. Days where I am sure of God’s love for me, and God’s calling in my life. I’m maturing, and it feels good. The changes are noticeable. I smile more. I see the positive in those around me. I am starting to be freed of judging and negativity.

I say all this to explain to you the changes that are happening in me. Through your prayers, you are part of this. I’m filled with gratitude.
