"Good evening Rawsi, I want to start off by thanking you for all the time and effort you put in helping me get my life back together...This will help other people who are in the same situation or worse, to know that there is Hope! I want to start off by letting the reader know that getting arrested and charged with child abuse was only the beginning. I went through a lot and it hurt me to know that I was at a point where I might not ever be able to see my children again. The pre-trial diversion offered by the court helped me with a second chance and put me in a position where I really had to reflect on everything that happened. I was scared, I was frantic, and I was worried and I was filled with anxiety throughout the whole ordeal, not to mention how my family felt. My wife and I thought our marriage was over, and the children thought "Daddy" was no longer part of the family. The beginning months were emotionally agonizing to my heart and it was a burden on my wife as well. Thankfully, as I complied with the Court's request, I found the situation to be a lot smoother than I had thought. Yes, I was still scared of what simple mistake I could have made cost me. I was on thin ice and I knew I could not mess up in order for me to get my family back. I prayed to God that He may alleviate the pain and unite us back, but God had other plans. I started realizing that God had put me in this position of suffering to mold me, that all this all this happened for a greater purpose. God really wants to work on my patience, because it is something I lack in. The Lord knew that I was not walking in accordance with His will. I had chosen my own path. I thought I was okay because I did the "religious" things, go to church, etc., but I wasn't fully committed, (still to this day it's hard to surrender it all). But He chose to do this so that I would really learn to be patient with my wife and children. The six months of separation from my wife and family allowed me to put it all into practice as I missed them. Both parenting classes opened my eyes on how to discipline children, the therapy, and anger management, allowed me to reflect on my past, and on the roots of who I was, and what I had become, and the couples counseling as well as family therapy taught me to cherish my loved ones. When we suffer as human beings, we really see the big picture of what's going on in our lives but when we have it all and we are on top of the world, we really are blind to our mistakes and failures. 2 Corinthians 12:10 says, That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then am I strong. Thank you again Rawsi, and may God bless your organization greatly. Franklyn don't feel left out. I know you were there helping Rawsi, please delight in this thanksgiving too,"​
