Trying to find a way to thank you!
I am totally bummed trying to figure out how the heck I am going to say thank you to thousands of people who are faithful and support my family and Pink Cross through this difficult call. I actually attempted last night to write Thanksgiving "Thank You" cards to those who love and support us and it totally overwhelmed me. I really did try though!
I am very sad I can't personally thank each of you or write each of you a Thanksgiving card. sniff sniff
But TRULY I am deeply grateful and THANKFUL for all of you who stand by Garrett and I and our family while we fight on the front lines. You will never know what it means to us.
Many of you generously support my family and Pink Cross, send in Christmas supplies to give women and men trapped in porn, give DVDs and gifts for conventions, send in books, beauty supplies and Bibles, help me with web sites, serve with me on the very frontlines of hell in the porn conventions, donate your web skills and design talents and MORE!!
Many of you labor for us in prayer and trust me, without those prayers I would be dead right now. I know I would be. I do not publicly share the personal harm that has come to me for doing what I do but TRUST ME your prayers have been heard by the Lord and He answered and saved my life more than you know! Someday I will write a book to show the world how God has sustained me through all of this.
THANK YOU FOR PRAYING!!!
Anyway, what I"m trying to say is a HUGE Thank You to all of you who have given to us selflessly and helped to do this amazing work of God. Truly you are being used by God to change the entire world and we thank you again and again for your love, prayers and support.
So now, I want to wish you a very Happy Blessed Joyous Thanksgiving!!
I'll be thinking of you while I eat my turkey!!
Love and BIG hugs to all of you,
Shelley

Wow, the work you do and and everything else, I feel like it's us who should be thanking you. It's not the you reach out to those girls, but also the us men who struggle/struggled with porn.
So thank you!
No, Thank you Shelley. May God bless you and your family.
In Christ's Love

We love you, Shelley.
Enjoy your turkey...you deserve it. You are continually in my thoughts and prayers. God will continue to use you in ways that you can only dream about....but rest in Him, because those good works that He has called you to have been established by Christ from before the foundation of the world (Eph. 2:10), and God will continue to empower you and strengthen you to carry them out. His light will continue to shine forth through you as a beacon, and I know that God is going to pour out His love in your heart, not only for you to feel, but for others to see.
Remember what God told the prophet Habakkuk? "You wouldn't believe you if I told you." God has major things in store for you. Keep pressing on, and I will keep pressing on in prayer for you. I know that I have been going through a pretty troublesome time, but please know that I love you, and you will always be my beloved friend.
Beloved Branch

I just received a card from you today. Therefore, I just want to say thank you for taking the time out of your very hectic schedule to do this because it really means a lot to me. Hence, I can honestly say it will be the most treasured Christmas card that I get this year. One more thing, I wish you and your entire family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year! Of course, I wish the same for everybody who posts on this message board.
Porn is not glamorous; its soul robbing both for the performer and the viewer. It’s filled with nothing but degrading acts to women who off camera have to do drugs to survive and to cope with their lives they become zombies.
Im pretty sure i feel the same as a lot of people here, in that is is us who should be thanking you.
You have been through a lot in your life yet had the strengh and courage to not only survive but to bring the truth to so many people.
You inspire people and offer them a glimse of hope that they can change their lives and be free of porn and have happy lives.
May God smile upon and bless you and your family for all the sacrafices you have made to spread his love
