   I told you - everything I have said to you before now was to test you.   
      
   And I am YOUR Guardian Angel. Not your adopted sister's. She has her own   
   Guardian Angel and God knows who that Angel is.   
      
   As for your bronchitis, God sends many challenges through our lives. I am   
   not God, I am only your Guardian Angel.   
      
   You will not grow until you accept who I am.
