I miss all the widows who watched me grow up, and wonder what they would think of me now. Even though I'm not married yet, I have moved to another place, to start afresh. It is the hardest thing in the world for me. I just want things to be the same as they always were. Especially since I now attend a BIG church, and I miss my old church where we were all like family. Thank you Gretchen for wanting to continue that legacy for your children. Many people never go back, and they lose so much of who they are. I want my children to grow up hearing all about the past, and seeing people I talked about. I hope I never forget the things that became such a part of my heart at my old church. But I also want to be contented here, in a new strange place. =) Again, thank you so much for that perspective that is so near to my heart. <br/><br/>Bekah<br/><>< I have already left my “home” at my church.

What a blessed heritage you have! PTL! I am grateful to be a second generation Christian, but how neat it is to have godly parents AND grandparents and to be preparing to start your own family. Thanks for sharing your heart; it touched mine.<br/>Tabitha Wow! That made me cry. What a blessed heritage you have! PTL!

It is such a hard, and sometimes long, process. How I yearn to have a little ol' country church like yours! Of course, I know I'll have several years to get to know people in my church before I get married (I'm only 16), but there is that <br/>certain bond you have growing up in a church. You are surely blessed!<br/>Julie Hello Gretchen!

It kind of reminds me of my old church(actually one of many old churches:))that was small and everybody knew everybody. We don't go there anymore due certain circumstances that took place there. However, I love the church that we've been attending for about 2 years now. (Whew! Seems like it's been longer than that!) I never want to miss a service, and I don't ever want to leave there.:)<br/><br/>Isn't it so special to have such a close church family!? <br/><br/>~Allison How sweet, Gretchen.
