Until I was invited by someone from KCF to a coffee morning my life revolved around my problems.

 

 

I had recently gone through some very hard times. I had lost a business and a home, and was living in sheltered accommodation with my husband and two teenage children. To make matters worse I had also been given a really hard time by some neighbours. As a result of all this I felt really stressed out and helpless. I felt as though my life had no meaning, no purpose, no hope.

I had been brought up as a Catholic so I knew about God, but I stopped going to church when I was 14 because I thought it was boring. Now I had hit rock bottom. I had allowed myself a short holiday break to help forget the problems in my life. When that ended I realised I would have to go back to a life full of problems without solutions as far as I could see. So in desperation I prayed to God for help. I don’t know whether I expected God to answer or not, but soon after that I got the invite to that coffee morning I started off my story with.
