And I think the most profound insight for me was to understand I did not have to continue to be hurt. I could say, "It has to stop." And I was heard! [For me the Intensive was] "VALIDATION"! My intuitive suspicions were confirmed. I am not a crazy woman. I am not a hyper-jealous woman, etc. And my husband heard me! In all the years I wanted him to hear me and admittedly all the wrong ways I tried to get him to listen, it always failed to happen. I know that much thought, much prayer, and much planning have been a part of the preparation of these intensives. It was not without pain for me. I had difficulty in the days just prior because I was afraid of what I would have to hear. But the Lord was so good to me during that time. The name "Hope and Freedom" is perfect. We have been given the resources, the tools, and the encouragement to indeed walk into the future in freedom and, as a result, with great hope. Our gratitude, especially mine, is unending."
