Yet I felt that my older age would prevent me from really connecting with anyone, and doubted that this young church would "get" my struggles. I had isolated myself from developing relationships with other women for over 12 years, because of trust issues, judgment, and rejection; the walls were high. But the women at LifeCo have been relentless in pursuing me as their friend, keeping me accountable, and giving me the freedom to be vulnerable again, and all with unconditional love and honesty. I have now experienced a grace from the body of Christ that I have never known before; those walls that I have used to protect myself but have actually kept me alone and hurting, are crumbling around me. This freedom has allowed God's incredible grace, mercy, and passion to be rekindled in my heart and I am breathing again... Thank you friends. I love you all so much...
