First of all... I love you! I felt ...Hi Sterling, <br />First of all... I love you! I felt an instant connection to you at the FSA Conference and I can certainly see why as I read your blog. I remember being at the place you are now and I know how difficult it is to break from old habits, beliefs, and patterns. But I can also promise you that the pain and discomfort will not last forever and the change you see will be worth it! In fact, as you look back at Road 2 you will find yourself grateful for the experiences and lessons learned because it has helped you reach where you are now. Remember that these experiences do not 'define' us... they 'refine' us... and you are certainly in the refiner's fire right now! Owie but good. :) You are a beautiful, strong, faithful, daughter of God and even if you are crawling on your knees in the direction you want to go... that is certainly better than giving up. HANG IN THERE!! I will put you in my prayers AND PLEASE let me know if there is ANYTHING I can help you with - small or great. <br />Much Love,<br />Martina MuirMartina Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498936316633116612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585725027876670150.post-89702179823458383362010-12-02T14:08:18.664-08:002010-12-02T14:08:18.664-08:00Love you sweetie.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the whole Road 1 & 2 business has to deal with what we talked about. You are stronger than you know...but I'll send you some extra prayers anyway.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676530868449226811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585725027876670150.post-69735646283579456332010-12-02T13:07:42.180-08:002010-12-02T13:07:42.180-08:00Thank you for sharing the Seuss story...it hit hom...Thank you for sharing the Seuss story...it hit home for me too! I know you must be feeling overwhelmed and scared and frustrating. I am praying for you and thinking of you and wishing you lots of strength and patience as you take that road. I know Road 1 may seem like the hardest thing in the world, but please know that good thoughts and prayers are in your backpack. You can do it!A Life Being Livedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702473000464603292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585725027876670150.post-8498694952514667922010-12-02T11:05:18.463-08:002010-12-02T11:05:18.463-08:00Love you!

I actually had a dream the other night that we met over Christmas and I was finally able to give you that hug. I saw a girl from church who is single and pregnant and I started to cry because I just wanted to hug her, tell her I love her, and that I know an awesome woman who would love to help her. I still might get up the courage to do that, but I figured first I should probably learn her name (at the very least)and get to know her so I don't scare her away. ;)<br />You are amazing, Sterling! You are strong and I have no doubt that you will not only "endure to the end", but "endure it well." You are forever in my prayers! Love you!<br />~MareMaryAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959475775471136102noreply@blogger.com
