Ultreya

Greetings to all.
I have been watching for quite some time, and have rarely posted.
I want to thank Our Lord for the time I was in GCX. It was long ago, but the heart to heart training I received there has informed my spiritual life from then on. I truly believe had I not been in GCX I would have long ago failed.
Still, the GCX experience was pretty much as most all here have found it. The exclusivity, the confinement of mind and company and, sadly, the arrogance of the church made it clear to me that I had to leave.
I would like to say that this was easy, but as with all of you it was not. The temptation to be bitter and the need to be more fully healed are now and again present.
Gladly, God is so rich in love and mercy, so kind, that he continues to soothe and continues to heal (and most certainly continued to challenge!)
Eventually I was able to attend seminary and do some neighborhood mission work. Finally I found that I was called to follow the Lord in a (perhaps not so very) different Church. For seventeen years I have been a Roman Catholic. Not one day has passed that I have not been still more grateful.
This was not undertaken lightly. and at times was dificult, but as Theresa of Avila says, "All the way to heaven is heaven."
I much appreciate the presence of all here.
May we all continue in His love
May we all work for Jesus' Kingdom as we were trained. Amen
