Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also. I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.
If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Do you believe that "God" has already planned out our destiny, or do you believe we make our own destiny?
And do you believe everything happens for a reason, or do you feel that's just some clever line a thinker thought up to try to reduce the amount of stress and anger in our lives?
I believe that God has a plan for us. However, I also believe that God gives us the freedom to make choices in our lives for ourselves, whether they follow His plan or not. I look at God like a parent sometimes. He's given me the knowledge and tools for my life, but standing back to see how I use what He has given me.
I believe that things do happen for a reason. Experiences help to shape our lives. For instance, a friend of mine died last week. As a result, I'm more conscious of the fact that life really isn't that long. I decided to cherish the time I have with my loved ones and make healthier decisions in my life. Other experiences may be what leads to something better in your life. I'm sure you've heard the expression "When a door closes, another opens." The night I met my husband, I actually had a date with another guy. I was stood up. I ended up going out with my husband instead. I fully believe that God had a role in that. Experiences in our lives also make us stronger. Going through rough periods shows us strengths we didn't realize we had.
(Rating: 5) Wow!! You have been a tremendous help!! I will think about everything you have said, and see how I feel then. Thank you for sharing your time, efforts, and beliefs with me!!
