I wanted to send a thank you to all those that came tonight to show support! I cannot believe that over 40 people came out for me!!! I'm learning to trust people day by day. It will be something else I work on at Mercy.
Something I am learning is that I can trust God to bring good people in my life. He brought me all of you into my life! Such a blessing you all are!
I will miss you guys very much!

God's Confirmation
Yesterday, I received a phone call from someone who caused my family and I great pain when I was a child. I hadn't talked to him in over 15 years. He found my number through the directory at UNCG.
His reason to call was to apologize for all of the bad deeds he had done against me and my family. At first I was in rage and angry because of the wounds that resurfaced. Almost 20 years later (man, I feel so old!) and I am still wounded by pain from my past. We ended up having a great talk and some closure was had. He and I were in total agreement this phone call was perfect timing. After apologizing profusely, he offered financial help with some of the bills I had been asking God for help in.
REMEMBER: GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES AND IS ALWAYS ON TIME!
One of the issues I plan on dealing with when I'm at Mercy is my abandonment. Something I've learned recently that when you become angry, really think about why you are angry. The first step for me was lowering my pride. The second was examining was if I was angry at the person involved or was it an old wound resurfacing.
I have often gone through life blaming others for my pain. Now I have not only acknowledged my pride issues but made efforts to work through my abandonment issues.
Please pray for that while I'm at Mercy.
In Him,
Anna

Living In Abundant Grace
As I continue to prepare for my stay at Mercy my heart has become filled more with peace and less with despair. I cannot wait to get there! I could not be more excited about the transformation God is about to make in me. I'm so grateful for all of the support from all of my friends! I have never experienced this much love in my life.
Thank you all so much for your support!

Reaching His Destination.....
I'm leaving for Missouri in a little over a week. Several emotions are running through my heart and mind. Mostly excitement, a little despair. I'm going to miss my friends. I keep telling myself its only 6 months. I cannot tell you though how excited I am as well. At this program I will be able to put all of the pain behind me and His glory before me! I will be able to truly become a living testimony of what God wants me to be.
Now, back to packing........
