This has been a heavy day...I talked with my parents for a while and it was encouraging and hurtful. My father and I cried for joy that God mended our relationship and my mother cried as she confessed how much trouble she was having with my decision to leave the Catholic church. I told her I hated all the divisions in our family and between the denominations. I don't know, I ask God to break my perceptions and replace them with His truth. I no longer want to filter in the truth with my views, I want to filter everything I see through God's word. My mother wasn't hurtful in the way she told me, she said she knew why I did what I did and that it wasn't an insult to her but she couldn't help but feel confused. I thank God for granting her a measure of understanding, I thank God that she came to me honestly instead of holding onto all of this and distancing herself from me. I wanted to wait for all of this until when I went home, but He had different plans and it worked out really well. I'm in such a wierd place right now. I'm at peace yet I'm torn and I just don't know...all I know is that He works and that is really all I have to know. All glory to Jesus.
