Y'all I need prayers badly!!! I was so excited because I discovered a bunch of Mamas wanted to start a social homeschool group in my area. We are brand new here to this small town and my kids and I don't have any friends. But then one of them found out that I'm a "liberal Christian" (I dislike that term, but apparently that's what I am due to my acceptance of a particular ostracized subgroup of people) And she decided that her kids shouldn't associate with mine. Two more mothers decided the same without having met me or my boys. Just from her word. It hurt. After being a part of the GR family where I've been in the minority, I'm used to being a bit different. And I have a strong respect for other beliefs from my own and I respect that I am a guest among those that have those beliefs. I learn so much from everyone here and I KNOW I couldn't do it without the veterans of homeschooling. I've been in a faith crisis for some time, but thanks to y'all, I've spent so much of this year learning the Bible better (with your encouragement) and focusing on God and found myself closer to Jesus than I ever have before. But right now I just want to walk away from church, from other Christians, from all of it, and walk alone. I'm struggling against those negative emotions, even though I know who it is who would like me to walk away from God. I need prayers for strength and guidance so that I can continue to help guide my children in their own faith walk. Because they can't afford for me to fail them in this matter. But I feel like I'm about to. 💖😢
