Hi sister Arlene!  Thank you for the time you took to respond to me and encourage me.  I so appreciate it.

I just wanted to ask you to please re-read my original post, if you don't mind.  I think maybe you may have misunderstood it just a bit -- and definitely out of the kindness of your heart.   My post is here:  http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/march2012/stacyr35.htm

I want to reassure you that for the first time in my life and after much exhaustion and worry from my own works, I now have a settled and unwavering understanding of grace and belief in the finished and completed work of my Savior.  I rest now in my forgiveness and righteousness through Him, and it is truly liberty like I have never experienced.  It is only His work in me that has accomplished this, and I praise His name for it!

Thank you so much for your caring heart.  It is very easy to see that the Doves are a part of your cherished family.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, keep you, and bring you unending peace and joy!

Much love from your sister,

Stacy
