In today's world, we sometimes get confused and need guidance. We try going to our friends and family. We look at different places like videos and self-help groups to get direction and answers.

The truth is that our direction comes from our heavenly Father above. He will give us our direction and confirm that we are receiving the help we need. If a change in direction is needed for our lives, our Father will send us a new path. Within these pages, you will find guidance that you and your family will be able to use in your lives. In a way, these letters are written to you personally.

You will find answers that will guide you through life like you never have before. They will make you emotional. You will read these and see what is happening in your present, and they give you foresight into your future. They are not meant to give you grief but to help you change your life path if needed. God's path for your life will be hard at times, but our Father will help us through. They will confirm that you are on the right path in life or that you must look at changing your direction. In either case, you will feel better about yourself and your family. You will feel renewed with love and joy as you follow the right paths through life.

Why We Need These Letters

There comes a time in every parent's life that one asks themselves, Am I raising my child to be a good person? Am I helping them to achieve all they can be? That is when we ask a higher being for help. That is when we look for guidance and confirmation that we are on the right path or that we need to change direction.

Within these letters that I am sharing, I hope you will find answers to your questions by reading the Word of God in a new perspective, one where He is guiding you down a path that is right for you and your family. Read them as if they were written to you personally.

Reading these letters, you will find answers that will help you maneuver through life like you never have before. Some will hit home in a very emotional way; some will read these and see what is happening in their present and future.

These letters are not meant to condemn you but to guide you toward God's path for your life. They will confirm that you are on the right path in life or that you must look at changing your direction. In either case, you will feel a newfound love from our Father, a Father Who will support you and guide you. You will feel renewed with love and joy as you follow the right paths through life.

My goal is to help you feel the joy that God has given me in my life. For God is one Who cares for His children and desires the best for them. Take your time to understand the meaning that He is giving you, as each of you who read these letters will take something different from them. Learn from them and enjoy them. Let these words from our Father reach into your very soul and guide you. Ask the Holy Spirit to help guide you in your understanding so that you can apply in your lives what you have discovered.

But if this time of year brings you sadness and feelings of being alone, then read the following letter from our Father.
