You're so nice :)

Hey there, missie!

 

It sounds like things were going in the right direction for you until you got sidetracked

with the cult.  Boy, to be so young, you are wise beyond your years.  You've got to

give yourself credit for that!!  You've come a long way, baby!!  I sure would like to meet

you someday!

 

I went to my doctor today - my emotional state last week and this week were at the

opposite polar ends.  I told him I didn't know how long this good "mood"  was going to

last, but, I'm enjoying every minute of it.  I told him all about this weekend and he was

pleased I didn't take it all on myself and make myself sick.  I don't know if I ever told you

that I cut; but, I took him the razor blade about 2 weeks ago and told him I was stopping.

So far, so good.  I'd have to go buy some, if I'm going to cut, so I'm not going to.  And I

refuse to use knives at this point.  For some reason in my head, I think a knife would

hurt worse, but, cutting is cutting, so I don't get it.  Whatever!!!   :+

 

Keep me informed as you are thinking about the Navy.  If it something you're really

feeling led to do, go ahead and check on it.  What can it hurt?  You could start looking

in a different direction if you had to.

 

Love ya,

Renee'

Hi, Renee'

 

You always have such nice things to say to me.  Thank you for your support.  I would like to meet you some day too.  That would be so cool. :)

 

Well, I talked to a recruiter today.  He told me that dropping out of the Delayed Entry Program won't keep me out of the Navy now.  That was a relief.  I told him about the swallowing food problem that I have, and he'd never heard of it, but didn't think it would be a problem.  That might still get in the way, but I'm still trusting God to heal me there, so maybe after He does...?  The recruiter said that there shouldn't be any problem with me joining, and if I joined the Reserves, I wouldn't have to be away from my family too much.  An average of six months for basic training and "A" school(job training).  If I go for the Interpreter job, though, that "A" school would be longer.  So, I would be away from my family more, of course.  So, now I just need to talk to my husband about it more, and talk to my pastor, and of course, talk to God the most.  I'll keep you posted.

 

So, I'm glad you're not cutting anymore.  That's good.  I've heard that can be a really hard thing to quit, but I'm sure you can do it.  If you need any specific prayer, I'm always here. 

 

I have to go get my baby down for a nap, but I wanted to let you know what's going on.  I will talk to you more later.

 

Sarah
