After a series of bad choices, Shelly was a single mom without a clue of what to do next.

Then she got married and discovered a powerful resource for her family.

Focus helped with parenting, helped with marriage, you know, struggles that, resources

that they suggested.

They helped me tremendously in getting over guilt and shame, walking me through that

so that I knew how to be a believer and how to be a good mom.

So I can't imagine my early walk or my walk at all with that focus on the family.

I said, where does it go?

I don't know, let's go find out.

Where's your map?

What's your plan?

I'm kind of, I didn't know. And she's really helped me just

loosen up and be willing to say, you know, we're driving in the national forest around here
