/blog/Polly6/?pid=f3104 Me at twenty four I thought the world was there for all to enjoy and party. This I did whole hearted, my best friend and I took the local nightclub scene to there and back. Having been sunday schooled as a child, my mother took her faith from one and applied towards the Anglican faith feeling more at home. She spoke to me about Dad joining this church because of his illness with cancer. Although I thought I would need a place to worship now and then, that maybe I should think of being confirmed with my parents. Well the lessons and guidance was given. Mum and myself were confirmed at our local church and Dad, most unwell now, experienced his confirmation at home. My dear Dad passed away a month after that day, totally at peace with his love of his family and God. Our priest said to think of him drifting out to sea in a sailboat and that one day we would all meet again...... Not once through this heart wrenching time did I question my faith or love of God. All seemed like a bad sad nightmare that one day I would wake up and all would be back the way it was. Christmas came and all put on brave faces still mourning. There is always a date I really try to past by without to much thinking or remembering, this I am going to share with you now. The 29th December 1988 was just a average day. Then my sister splitting up with her partner, came to see mum and I, upset we went for a drive returning just before evening. Well my sisters now ex-partner still angry, upset and having spent most of the day in the hotel, decided to confront her. Not wishing to put to much detail in because that day myself, my mum, three nieces aged 11, 7 and 5 with my 3yo nephew were threatened at knife point. I was stabbed, while my niece 11yo received 16 s tit ches in her arm from this beast. He also threatened the 7yo saying, did she wish to be put with her grandfather. Luckily for us my sister fled out the front door to call for help. I've found hindsight a wonderful thing in life but you don't know how you will react or cope with something until you are living it. Not once through this heart wrenching time did I question my faith or love of God. So hear is my question to you. Why with all these things that have pasted through my life. Why am I now asking if this man I have met through big church is who he has sent to love me and only me? Yours in Christ Polly6 /blog/10498/post_175617.html?pid=f3104&m= I am so tired of people answering for me or instead of me... For example...
