I would be honored if you have agreed (even if only with parts of DYM) or have been interested to hear the true heart behind it.... I have tried to be as honest as possible here. (There may be areas that-- I can't see currently, that were dishonest--but I tried!) I didn't listen to this again before uploading it. I plan not to listen to it, (but maybe I will when I need help getting refocused on what I think is God's heart is for DYM). I would be honored if you at some point were able to listen (though beware: my vulnerable heart is revealed in it). I do sincerely ask that you would choose wisdom if you have feedback for me--or want to talk about this to others--as Jame 3:17 says: "But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere." Thanks and love, Belah
