		<description>WOW!  I have those type of days too.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for welcoming us into your home.  For allowing me to feel so comfortable to share deep &#38; personal stories with you, Byron and the other couples.  Never in a million, could I have even imagined that I could find myself so comfortable, sharing details of my personal struggles with people who are strangers.  But, the funny thing is; I do not consider any of you to really be strangers.  I feel as though you are all family.  In the short time that we have shared, you need to know that I personally have shared more intimate details with you than with my own family.  I do not feel judged or looked down upon even knowing that what I am sharing makes me feel shameful in a lot of ways.  I sincerely want to just burst when I am with all of you and tell you how incredibly humbled and happy it makes to have accepted that invation made to me in December.  I can not put into words what it is I feel when I think of how many excuses I honestly came up with to avoid attending that service. But, I couldn't, and I could not be more grateful to have made the choice the made. I discovered the beauty of C3 through my "adopting family", if not for them, I .......IDK!! 

Again, I thank you. My life and that of the ones I love the most might be a story in the news.....(NEED I SAY MORE?.  If not for that one first time, stepping into that theater (with all the doubts and worry over judgement), I may very well not have been here to tell the story.  And although it shames me deeply, it is where I was when I got here.  And for what C3 has done for me, I am eternally thankful.  

I look forward to the service and there has not been one, where I don't walk away thinking "that one was just meant for me", when I see the sunset now, I think of you, Angie, and see it in a whole different way.  I see the way you look at me when I tell my story and can not avoid feeling you are honestly caring and touched by it, EVERY TIME. I appreciate your compassion and your kindness. Thank you for what you and your husband are doing. Keep up the good work and don't let the negativity bring you down.  If I can be of any inspiration to push through it all, I hope I can.  My life has been changed by this movement and there is a lot more to come to me and I believe sincerely that it is because of what this movement truly is, it is for people like me and I am proud to say it.  I will continue to invite others because I want to share in my happiness and my new life....Peace!</description>

		<description>I have these thoughts, temptations really to argue or defend our church; our way of doing things.  Then I see the good our church is doing and the trust God has placed in us to reach the unchurched so I just laugh and let the comments roll off "like water off a ducks back".  (and I live with this temptation, literally.)
