Hi guys. It's been a while since I posted. I'm just so enjoying being free. You know. I look back on the time I lost and that is my only regret. From time to time I still hear about issues that go on at that "place" as my wife calls it. I have to admit it was a learning experience. Now... honestly, I am enjoying spending the time I now have getting to know my family and relatives.
My cousins and old friends sometimes ask... "Where the heck have you been?" I just tell them, I've been here." The funny thing is, they are still wonderful. How crazy I was to let people tell me to give up the wonderful things that God gave us... the friendships and good times. We are enjoying having folks over our house and just watching movies with some people we really just like being with.
You know when we were at that "place" they tried so isolate us from everything. Stupid really. God never isolated himself, he made himself available. Granted, I don't do some of the things that my relatives do, but to be real honest, they know we are Christians and don't ask. We've had a few families give their lives to Christ and turn their lives around, by just being good friends. (As God is to us).
It's funny, I think now that we are not under such rules and regulations, we actually have time to have fun in God. We are doing things that we like and I think we have brought more people to God in the time we left than many yrs of being in hard core bondage.
Just thought I'd give you guys an update. Hope you too are enjoying your new life in Christ. Do something you enjoy. Spend time laughing... because if you are out, you "can" now. You just may have some fun that you hadn't had in a long time.
Cheers... and God bless ya. Have a supurb day today.
