Well ,I had been really struggling with depression & anxiety, which lead me into agoraphobia. I stayed in my house for about 6 months other than doctors appointments. I knew I needed something, & pretty much knew it was a relationship with God. I read alot of books & the Bible, but I just wasn’t getting there. I did start feeling more confident, and my niece had been telling me about COTM for quite awhile. I finally said to my husband, I am going, will you come. So we had our first visit on Christmas Eve. We brought our grandson with us, & we all loved it! Started going every week. We took The Way of the Cross classes & both decided to be baptized on Easter weekend. Both of us were baptized as small children, but this was our choice not someone deciding for us. Being baptized has made me feel as if all of the past issues & childhood trauma I experienced have been washed away. I am a clean person, that is truely loved by the Lord. 25 years of marriage, & we’ve found our home at COTM
