Hi,
I am interrested like Ms.Stephanie Tucker because I am soooo…blessed with my class with Bret at Bel Air at Zoom meeting for Codependence Class every Sat. from 9-10:30 am. Also, your teaching makes me cry and helps me heal my emotions. I believe I decided what career should I take after so many years. Also, I believed this is going to be a committed career for me. Please pray. Although, the Lord told me that I am going to be Pastor on March 2018. Maybe this is a preparation.
To God be the Glory!
Cynthia
