Well, here I am....I decided to come back!
I loved posted here and the people I met but I was afraid that right now being a stay-at home mom and with my tendancy to isolate myself ---- I might use this forum as a substitute for getting out and seeking local community - whether it be a church or a support group --
I prayed and sought some options - but none of them seemed right---- I have still found that this group to be the most appropriate and similar in nature to me right now...plus the safest.....so all of that said I'm back.
I am feeling better (we left our church in May 2005) and am starting to adjust as more and more time is going on - to being without that church....
Interesting, after I left I had such severe reactions I finally sought a Christian counselor about 6-weeks ago......she is also an art therapist.
I have counseled before and have journaled volumes of my feelings but never used art as a communications tool for emotional outlet...
I just started recently to do that a little (with her suggestion) and boy is it ever interesting....I wish you were here in person and could see the thoughts and feelings coming out about the church and people we encountered (the images on paper!- you would laugh and cry along with me......
well, that's just a quick update and I look forward to getting back in contact with all of you -- There seem to be alot of new people and I have read their posts, boy do I relate to them!
anyway - look forward to talking with all of you again!
