well, my story continues today. people close to me have been in a crisis i'm afraid to speak of. lately, i've started opening up to a few of the elders and a couple in my congregation. they're helping us out. and today, i took a huge big step to restored the lines of communication with my friend and his mom. man it feels great to see them again. i just felt this strong urge to just go, and i did. i missed them a lot. i left our past behind, and now they lended me the invitation to talk to them about my crisis and to stop by anytime if i needed something. Jehovah has truly blessed me again. i hope that my crisis will find a solution and i will continue to grow.
