Dede, get another opinion

[Guest guest]

Dede,

It sounds to me like you need another opinion on this, and to work

with someone a little more proactive! Your feelings about this are

important to acknowledge. I have heard of way too many cases where

things were being " watched " , but later turned out to have required

more care!

May you find comfort in God's leading...and do as you feel your heart

leading you to do. Don't wait for proper care.

One of my very, very favorite Scripture verses is this one. I go to

this one often:

This is what the LORD says--your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: " I

am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you; who

directs you in the way you should go. "

Isaiah 48: 17

Love,

Patty
