I appreciate your telling the story you do. My circumstances are vastly different than yours, and your courage to follow Christ, though it meant losing your job, is a fine example to follow. I also respect what you had to do with your family - especially with grown children. It sounds as if the Lord went before you, however, as far as they were concerned. My four children are six and under. So while they go where I go rather willingly (for the most part) it still caused me pause the evening that I realized that I was changing not only my journey, but also forever theirs. And I do it joyfully now.<BR/><BR/>cjmr - Do not be afraid. It will be a day of joy and peace for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564684437473178371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12994638.post-1144103859145313262006-04-03T18:37:00.000-04:002006-04-03T18:37:00.000-04:00My first Reconciliation is Saturday afternoon.

The story is on the blog somewhere. If you want to know just e-mail and I'll dig out the links. It may encourage you. However, you are sounding encouraged already and rightly so.
