[Faith-talk] being healed from blindness

[sheila]

hi, it isn't always easy to find support in church. We just started 
attending a new church and I've been very open about what I expect and 
also want to give as a part of this new family. I'm singing on christmas 
eve and I've been told that we are welcome to participate in any way 
that we see fit. We have been also told that we know how to accomplish 
things and they need to learn and take their cues from us. It is 
refreshing indeed. Now it is our place to make full use of this openness 
so that we can continue to be taken seriously.
