Thankfulness. I am so thankful for this study and the tremendous impact it has had on my life: for healing where I didn’t know I needed to be healed, for forgiveness where I didn’t know I needed to be forgiven. It was as though I had been swimming under water holding my breath as a Christian, and I was ok because I could hold my breath. I knew if I came up from the water I could get breath for life and then go on swimming underwater again along with the weight of the water (my sin), and blurred vision of being under water (not seeing my sin clearly), with the light dim (not seeing the full meaning of the cross), all the while knowing that if I come out of the water I could have true life (the truth of His Word). Then I could breath easily, move about freely, see things clearly, reflect the glory of the Savior truly. God brought me out of the water to walk on dry land in the warmth of His lovingkindness, His grace, His beauty. He does want to make all things new. His timing is perfect. I aborted my child 33 years ago, became a Christian 13 years ago and opened my eyes to the beauty of the Savior again 3 months ago. Thankful I am. Very thankful. Also very thankful for my e-counselor. When I began, I had great reservations about an online study. I was completely wrong about it. Completely. She is amazing! I am so thankful for her prayers. Her kindness. Her truthfulness. God began a work in her that she may pass it on to another. I am another. Thank you!
